Almost 1200hp. When the AJ Performance shop car starts up after a long hiatus, it will have an engine block that is rated for almost 1200hp. Shortly, the engine will go back into the car, and the car will be put back together.

Dyno session after hours
I stopped by AJ Performance last night to find Toni finishing up a dyno session and starting up a repair session.
