Holy DAMN, that was a LONG DRIVE.

It took me and my brother about 18.5 hours, we left Arizona at 7:30am and got to Houston, TX at 3am. The damn time zone screwed us out of 2 hours!

Like Chris said, on the street trim program, on 91 octane, I'm pushing 330ish, which is ENOUGH for the street, no kidding. The 401 could easily be beat, but I'll put a little more boost when I have a tank full of 109 and I'm willing to go up to 19lbs. But that won't be for awhile.

So screaming tires? YEAH, without a doubt, I'll be changing out tires soon enough. . .but I'll be honest, I haven't had too many problems with wheel hop, the engine brace Keith fabed for me works really well, and the Potenza S03's are bloody sticky.

I won't post prices of everything, but the upgraded t3/t4 kit is $500 more than the basic ADC kit (just check out www.arizonadynochip.com). ADC did the engine swap with all forged internals, here's a list of what was put on:

1. Cylinder Head has been P&P for turbo app, fit with 3L valves and ST220 Valve Springs complete with ARP Head Bolts
2. Diamond Piston Forged Flat Top, 9:1 CR
3. Pauter 4340 Chrome-Moly Forged Rods complete with 220k psi steel rod bolts
4. Fed-Mogul Main Bearings
5. Clevite 77 Rod Bearings
6. Fel-Pro Complete Gasket Kit
7. Upgraded Oil Pan and Windage Tray
8. Magnecor 8.5mm Wires
9. Triple-EH SVT UIM rated at ~190cfm (?)
10. 34/35mm SVT LIM
11. Custom Warmonger GT 70mm Throttle Body
12. Custom ADC-Magnaflow 3" cat back (stainless steel $$$)

I have to download some pics of the setup, and some random vids (I'll actually have to see what my bro video taped)

I did get pulled over, but got off with 2 warnings (expired registration and no front license plate, but I might have some of that on the vids. . . )

Heck yea!

Still GREAT work, makes for nice contour bragging rights

Drivetrain is giving me SOME problems. . .

I had it rebuilt out here in Houston before the install, and these dipsh$ts "rebuilt" it with, what Keith discovered in Arizona, a junkyard bell housing. . .and they put 90 weight oil in the tranny, which might explain why it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get it into 1st gear

But, I have the torsen, and 1 Stage 2 axle (the driver's side fit, the passenger's side was built about .25inches too short, I have to call them up and install one that fits, don't ask me why they're having problems with axles and contours).

Spec 3 + Stock SVT flywheel.

I'm looking into a bull dog tranny, or something well built (I missed that Rousch tranny on ebay a couple of days ago, oh well), to replace this "junkyard" one in a couple of years. . .

Driving to work today took about 3 minutes less. My commute is usually 10 minutes! I changed my program to 93 octane, and WOW, big difference between that and the 91 octane setting above 4k rpms.
