First OHC Volvo motor with a ford T5 transmission and Proturbo�s first US customer. Best time to date, 13.6 @ 106 with a 2.5 second 60� time. VERY tractionally limited. 14PSI for those passes.

The black 242 interiors are rare here as well! I just mix and matched parts from 4 doors and painted my door panels. Thanks again guys for all the compliments!
