There are also Arias forged pistons, R&R steel connecting rods and Deatschwerks fuel injectors not to forget an AEM Infinity 6 ECU and a Magnafuel 750 fuel pump. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission which features a Bisimoto-spec Action Ironman clutch.

This one also receives changes in the aerodynamics department; it comes equipped with a Bisimoto front splitter, a Wasp Composites aerodynamic styling package and 18-inch aluminum wheels.

Inside, there's a Racepack IQ3 digital instrument cluster, AEM wideband gauges and a roll cage.
