PERFORMANCE

	bottle and up to around 330-370 HP with the use of nitrous oxide. 
	He expects the car to run deep in the 13's and possibly the 12's.


UPDATE
	Mike is loose on the street, breaking in his engine and working 
	on fine tuning the engine for the Spring when he expects to upset 
	a lot of Southern California honda owners at the race track.
