The car has been tuned for max hp and is a bear to drive on the street for any more than about 50 miles. (1 tank of gas LOL)If you were going to drive it mostly on the street then you could make a new map with the top of the line Electromotive ECU Tune is fully programmable
It does need some small modifications to be truly street legal.

Condition: Seller Notes:
Used
“Car looks close to the condition when I bought it 10 Years ago. Everything is as it was except for a few new pieces, air cleaners, alternator, wheels powder coated, cockpit insulation for improved cooling, electric oil cooler fan. New foam in the fuel cell, new fuel pump. Tires were new but it sat in this dang Florida heat and flat spotted the tires. It is licensed on the street now but will need wipers and parking brakes to be truly street legal.”
