Please inform me, seems very interesting. Especially since the car lacks torque.(feels like 20HP when its 80degrees or above with the AC on)

He built another motor on the side and swapped it in. I think he'd be putting down in the rage of 270-320hp.

Not sure why he didn't put a different one ;) There is also something amazing about building the motor that the car originally came with. Its easy to go buy another motor and throw it in and make more power but its a challenge to build the stock motor to make power.

I can't speak for Garm but i am sure he's pretty stoked to see what kind of power he can put down.
