I bought my car May 2005.
I started modding my car the following morning after I bought it. I had planned out a full race engine/turbo setup within a month and went to work with DPR Racing, UMS Tuning and AGP Turbo to achieve my goals. The first build was finished by February of 2006. I had the highest horsepower srt-4 in the world on pumpgas 91 with 509.4whp/463.9wtq.

The car became a blast in the Srt-4 scene. A couple of weeks later I found out about the 2nd Redline Timeattack ever at California Speedway infield track. I wanted to see how I can do. I had a pro driver coach me for a day and I ended up winning the next day my first ever real race on a real track in Street Class FWD. I beat 4.5 seconds on the second competitor, for what I was also mentioned in the Modified Magazine for the amaizing gap and new lap record for the class. I think that got me hooked for life! What was really amaizing for me was that I had a blown headgasket so the car would overheat after 3-4 laps so I had to cut all my parctices short. I quickly realized that my car also needed better breaks and suspension. So we went to work on it before the next race in December '06 at Buttonwillow.

I won a couple muscle car dyno shootouts through the summer and was invited to Sport Compact Car's Ultimate Street Car Challange, but wasn't able to attend due to the fact that my car was in pieces at that time.

I attended the RTA's December event at Buttonwillow Raceway and raced in Street Class FWD. I was faster in practice with traffic than the person who won the event. My car blew a rod through the motor just before the timing lap began. I was very disappointed especially since I knew I would have won. Oh well that's what's racing is about, at least it gave me an excuse to build a faster car.

After some researching and some turbo testing on my car by AGP Turbo & UMS Tuning(who by then became my sponsors as well as DPR Racing), we decided on AGP Turbo's GT35R Dual Ball-bearing turbo. It was probably the best choice I ever made for my car.
I also needed to improve the suspension to accomodate the power and road course abuse and after a few phonecalls I was directed to Nick, owner of Ksport Suspensions. We quickly figured out what spring rates I would need and started off with their Coilover Kit.

Went up a class to Modified Front Wheel Drive, where the competition was a bit more serioius, we still beat a bit over 4 seconds on the second competitor and set a new lap record by 3.5 seconds! Even in parctice with traffic we were faster than the previous lap record and the second competitor. One thing to note was that Chris Rado in his Unlimited FWD car with 295 slicks all around was less than 2 seconds faster than us and we would have probably matched his speed had our intercooler not cracked open during the second session.

May 3rd Mopar Day at Willow Springs International Raceway. We were testing and running 1:29s on street tires at the lowest horsepower setting!
We were invited to the Super Lap Battle to qualify, where the fastest car was running 1:28s in unlimited class, which we would have easily bested, but the car had a melted vacuum line(whic we changed to steel now) so the car wouldn't perform at all. We still qualified with 40% maximum throttle, but I had to have the engine checked and find out what was the issue...

October of 2007 we attended the RTA finals at Laguna Seca, went up to Unlimited Class FWD, where we won first place after a lot of struggle with the sound check station's black flags.

2008 and most of 2009 I was not able to go racing due to the economy, but spent the time to upgrade the car's bodywork, lightening it and put in a revalved Ksport Race Suspension.

Now the car is faster than ever, lighter than before and is set up to win in Unlimited Class FWD and set some new lap records!
