The suspension was upgraded as well with a complete Energy Suspension bushing kit and Function and Form coilovers designed specifically for drag applications like Eddie's. Besides the MOMO steering wheel, Karcepts shifter kit, and Peak Racing five-point harness, Eddie kept the interior relatively stock despite the rollcage-even the seats are factory issue. "I was going to do the Type R interior, but I like the stock-ness of the car now. It's more street," Eddie says. Once the car was up and running, dyno tuning at nearby Church Automotive Testing netted Eddie 720 hp and 540 lb-ft of torque at 30 psi. All of this translated into a 10.5-second pass at 140 mph at Pomona Raceway yet subjected to slightly less boost. When asked about the car's future Eddie simply says: "This car's good for 9s and the turbo's good for 40-plus pounds of boost. If I stop eating transmissions, I'll get there." You do the math.
