Demon, thanks for your help, I was hoping you would respond and I'm glad you did. To be honest, I've kind of given up on most of the 3L research and when it comes to looking something up, getting advice, etc. I just go to your website, it's the best compilation of useful information on Contour.org.
Alright, now that my praise is done I've still got a few questions:
1 Does using the SAFC and the custom chip mean that I'd have to do two dyno sessions?
2 Is there a good Contour tuner in the Chicagoland area?
3 Why all the hate against Kevlar? I know its got a lower coefficient of friction, but it stands up to heat a lot better and will wear longer (better for slip clutch launches), not bad attributes for a car thats known for spilling its guts on hard lanuches.
4 Just how necessary is the Quaife, cuase I really don't want to spend another 600 dollars.
5 Lastly, are there any specific kits from Felpro that I should buy, or do I need to order everything individually? I was thinking I might only need a 2.5 conversion kit and two head kits. let me know if Im wrong.
Thanks so much for your help everybody, I know that time isn't free, and I appreciate your efforts to help me out here.
BTW, the reason I dont want Pre 2001 3L heads is because they eliminate the advantage of the oval port heads better flow characteristics.
