You're a picture *****. Leave us in the dark forever and then come ***** your badass car pics out.
Tell us about the in car PC setup and did you ever make more than 505HP or whatever the last dyno was?

LOL, sorry about being a pic *****, just always busy. The "in car PC" set up is called a prologger. It can record data up to 6 min for play back through MoTeC software, or on Screen. Its basically a glorified Wide band, but it does much more...I've been driving the car everyday, so we have had the boost turned down a little. Its making a conservative 470. The car is still Hella fun!

Core Specs are 12x24x3.5 I believe. The end-tanks are custom.

470 reliable would be awesome to have in the driveway.
You ended up sticking with the stock 5 spd or 6 spd trans and diff didn't you?
What about the E85, you running that daily?

The S basically has the same turbo setup as my Miata. It has a slightly different Compressor Housing on the turbo. I believe its a Garrett GT3082R.
Full race manifold, etc...

What seats/wheel do you have? The interior looks really nice. Then again, the entire car looks stunning.

That car must be absolutely bonkers! You must surprise quite a few unsuspecting... well almost anything but that S2K, you sure roll with a tough crowd.
