enjoy and tell me what you think!!!
Overall beautifull job. Nice touch on the interior and I really like the intercooler piping.
I like everything except your claim that the escape/mazda6 exhaust cam combo being the best. Their performance is open for debate until you or DanG get us a dyno sheet.
It's worth trying out, but the idea behind using them is projected from simulations. I'm open minded but I don't hold my breath that they will be superior to stock 3L cams or SVT cams. I say this because both currently used cam sets do one thing better than the other and I suspect that the combo you chose will fall into the middle of them.

Very nice setup.....
I must say though, to all the people who have sunk so much money into their cars, why not spend a little extra and make an effort to get the damn thing to hook up. I can't believe none of you have tried a set of traction bars let alone boxed control arms. Only person I know of who has done the latter is Chris.

I'm boxing in my LCA's, adding subframe connectors and have solid 94a urethane roll restrictors.
If there were traction bars or the like, I'd be buying them too.

I have a 94A poly rear roll resistor and poly inserts on my front mount. I will be installing a torsen soon. Other than that I have no idea what else will help me hook up. Till then I guess we will all just be forced to have fun going fast from a roll. I dont think traction bars are available.
Does boxing in the LCA's really help with traction?

I don't know, but last months Sport compact car talked about wheel hop in its suspension tech. It talked about geometry angles and how certain types of suspension can increase/decrease wheelhop.
If I were going to spend major money on mods for it, I'd look into what really causes it and then construct the required parts to adjust it.

I put the 94A urethane in the front, had to revert to the stock (SVT) rear due to gawd-awful vibrations to the cabin... Not suitable for a daily driver. As for hooking up, no urethane in the world will help this platform use more than 300fwhp...
BTW- The 3L/Mazda 6 cam setup was recommended by Demon after analysis of the lift/duration/overlap of each setup (stock 3L, SVT, or "hybrid" 3L/Mazda 6) while under higher boost applications (12.5 for the street, not much really, can't wait for racing season)... Of course, I can't get the damn thing to hook up even with my R compounds...
