So how much did you end up paying for the swap in total... any pics? and did you also end up changing the differential because the gears are different.

Yes I changed the diff out. I think that is a must in my opinion. I drove it a few

days with the auto one, and the manual gears are a ton better. I paid around

$1500-$1650, including a $437 new clutch kit. I also found most of the parts

from the same person and drove 7 hours to pick up instead of paying shipping.

Cool man. Did they give you a copy of the data files for the dyno? Or just printouts...if you have the data files, send 'em to me. I have the dyno software on my laptop, and I'll take screen shots and post 'em for ya.

Did you meet Matt?? Thats my brother. He is on here as either Mattheman or Pettitman. I am not familiar with your car give me the rundown.



Those are noce #'s the most important question is how were your a/f ratios??



Pettit has an awesome facility. I am doing some work to my FD powered FC and hope to dyno in a few weeks and crank it up.



I with I knew you were here I would have hooked up with you and we could have terrorized the local rice.

Matt and I were at an Evolution driving school the weekend you were there thats why Matt was not there. He is a giant rotory fan. He is in heaven working there.



That pull looks great that car is probably pulling real hard. You mixture is great too tons of fuel. That engine will last a long time tuned like that.
