"The Beast" was my baby for years. He's been through many modifications and changes over the 13 years that I've owned him. I will be sad to see him go but hate having him just sit. Below is listing of his current mod list:

The Beast currently will not start. He last ran in 2012 after this latest set of modifications. I drove him for 500 mile break in period and brought him back to the same shop to finish being tuned. The shop's dyno was down and he sat for couple months before they tried to start him again. He never started again after that and haven't had the time to invest in getting him running again.
