Here is a quick video of the VF39 @ 18psi on Pump Gas:

The VF on the 2.0L spools much later than the 2.5L and should be easier on things to some extent because of that. It's likely not doing anywhere near 400WTQ either. The shortblock and tranny are both stock with 185k miles. The clutch was supposedly replaced this spring with an OEM (or OEM style) clutch.

I took it out for a couple sessions on the road course last night at NF Performance's track event. It was a lot of fun and the car is still in one piece. The 5 speed + 2.0L + VF powerband wasn't the best for some of the tight sections, but it was still a good time. And the motor/tranny/clutch did make it back home without blowing up!
