ohhh and since i talked about my own car might as well throw an update about the wrangler we have in here. We swapped out the 4.56 gears in favor of 4.33's still may consider swapping down a little more. The S/C went in with no problem the kit was awesomely put together even though they told us it was still a test subject. Right now we're running about 9 psi due to an upgraded pulley, otherwise it'd be stuck at the factory setting of like 7, not positive on the numbers cause we're using like a 5 year old $15 boost gauge. We want to put new low compression pistons in and then turn the boost up a little more.
The truck is a ******* rocket now and i think the transfer case is ready to give out on us. We think when the T/C goes we'll pull it and the auto trans, rebuild the transfer case, and swap in a manual trans.
We're also considering putting in new spring and shocks since the ride is really rough right now, only instead of it being .5" lower then stock we're considering 1" or more of a drop. We're also now investing in some stickier and wider tires then what we have running now, and we expect to run pizza-cutters up front tor reduce some weight and allow for better weight transfer to the rear wheels.
Also if anyone tells me "how dare you do that to a jeep" consider this, we bought the truck stock, for a year we ran it with a fully built I6 engine with a 4" lift, 33" and 35" tires, brought it to as many off-road events as pssible, used it on the farm as a farm vehicle, etc etc. it was used for it's "intended purpose" now we're just bored and my sister bought the truck and said she wants it to be small and go fast, so that's what we're doing.
Pics of the polished S/C and everything should be coming soon when my dad brings the good digi cam home, and when my sister drops the truck off at home.
