Nice dude. Lookin good.

Dude you better eat those nana's too, they're about to go bad!
lol those pictures are months old
as far as the tranny goes, I've had a built tranny for awhile. I've picked out my own gearing from various g series tranny's, and have had a msp lsd for years.
As far as flywheel goes I have a fidanza, and a spec 3+ on its way because my spec 2+ had a build qaulity issue that spec didn't want to hold up on.
What problem did your stage 2 had ? Was it "screaming" ... I have a spec 3 that was "screaming" and it was installed by a Ford dealer ...
Just wondering, cause it did it right after install, it was brand new ...
screaming would be a bearing bad, the pilot bearing that was supplied with mine gave out after a few hundred miles, over a period of around 10k miles (in which I didn't know) it at up the tongues on the pressure plate. Its still usable, but nothing I'd want to put 300+ whp on. It would be suited great for a N/A now.
motor will be back friday from the machine shop. I'll work on the car fri/sat getting it prepped. Following weekend it could be dropped back in.
Still waiting on the turbo mani from neukin, its been 24 days so far.
It will take some time. You have to be patient. You will be happy with the results when you get it.
called this morning, he said there is one manifold in front of mine. He said mine should be completed by tuesday and in my hands by thur.
great guys to deal with.
You are running an exhaust cut out? Most tracks don't allow open headers.
Also, I bought one but it was going to KILL my flow so I scrapped it.
I'm running a 3inch cutout off the downpipe behind the engine, also running the stock s/r exhaust. I doubt ksir cares about the cutout, they run some funky shit down there.
I really dont plan to go to the strip but maybe once.
