These are time lapse videos of some of my work. Also a video of the final product. I would upload my 700+ photos but that would take very long and im not supposed to because some are going into a magazine.

• APPLIED
  How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  Please include specific examples to illustrate this. 

This component broke down everything that got into the motor. The motor is a huge part of the set up in a street/strip vehicle. There are so many things in the motor alone that will change how a car drives on the street and at the track. I also learned very valuable life skills by talking to people and networking which I feel is a main goal of this entire project.
