APS tumblers. Version 5 heads and starter engine will be swapped for a engine capable of 650-700 with Hwakeye AVCS heads once use to the car.

Starting off with about 550/550. Thats the plan anyway. Who knows what will happen with these things.

Didnt need to remove it all as we had plans for the boot
