did you build this motor, or is this that built CA that's been changing hands for the past few years now? Just curious, some of the specs seem familiar. Either way its a bada$$ motor

i believe it has changed hands a few times but not sure if its the same one. but most likely yes, since you dont see many built CAs. I got the motor and went through everything, once i get the stuff back from the powdercoaters i will post some pics. thanks
