Maybe next year if I start saving now. (That's a $2000 mod for me - Quaife, clutch, flywheel, & labor) Unless you are offering to pay for it... :p BTW - slipping on hard shifting happens whenever hard shifting happens not limited to "drag racing". (like spirited driving, auto-x, drag racing, etc) Im sure the fact I've added a good 40HP doesn't help matters any.

Gee, I wonder where we'll find a willing sole to make/install these connectors before then... :rolleyes: *raises hand* Ova heaya, mista Kotta mista Kotta ova heaya, pick me... As soon as I get a few engine preps done, my schedule looks a little bit open right now. Give me a week or two after my vacation next week and I'll be looking for some metal to weld and cut into prototype #1.

Everyone- If you really want SFCs, you guys really should consider dropping the guys at www.warpspeedperformance.com a line. They're located in northern Arkansas and they are always willing to R&D new products and cars. Check out thier website and you'll see that they are making SFCs for numerous cars. You can also see their various stages and how it all works. My car feels light years better. Handling is much improved. I would have never thought that slight chassis flex really is that noticeable.

Poor saps, I'm just coming off of house duty after completing our kitchen project, for the most part anyway. I still have to get the wood for the floors, but we ran out of funds for the time being, so it's back to cars I go! Dave, thanks for the tip on the SFC's, but Rick and I tend to make things ourselves and sell them through BNMotorsports. With the frame rails from Ricky's old SVT, we'd be silly to not R&D them ourselves. Of course, anyone else can always go R&D them somewhere else, they'll just pay more.
