Just a thought. Good luck with whatever avenue you choose.

Given the additional extras that the performance shop are including, I am really only waiting on a final price. I will be purchasing a Centerforce clutch and a Torsen diff and the shop will be installing those as well as the doing the turbo kit. Intial costs, given the currency exhange rate and all the other fees and taxes I would have to pay to get your kit across the border, for a percentage more (based on initial estimates, I can have the kit built for me locally. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but given the option of going with a stand alone computer is very tempting. I have only one issue. Since my SVT has factory traction control, I may lose this feature, when going with a stand alone computer. If that is the case, then I will discuss about going with any kit that will continue to use the stock computer, or see if the TC can still be used with a stand alone engine management system.
