yes indeed that was me. i installed the motor with a t3/to4z hks kit and actually sold the s14 as a whole car...I wish I actually kept it. but being in chicago and all and living in and around wrigley-ville, there is ZERO parking. I have 2 cars already in my garage and cant really park anything in the streets.

From the text and pics/videos it look so!

Did you have to do alot of massaging to the tunnel to fit and which auto are you using?

I would fit the flares on the rear only

Sooo...fast foward half a year or soo..
The stretch tire look is going in about a week. I picked up a set of 997 twin turbo Michelin Pilot Sport ribs all around (255s front, and 295s rear) might have to ditch the 25mm spacers I have on the car right now tho to make them fit. Also sold the th400 and picked up a t56, got a 4.08 final in the car now, and am running competition clutch stage 2 and flywheel. How does 5th gear pull so friggin hard!? torque is gawd.

It is a t56.

I had to man up and get rid of the stretched tire look in favor of 255 p zeros for the fronts and Michelin Pilot Sport Rib N1's in 295 size for the rears. Car hugs the ramps like a champ. Very happy


before:




current:





Also quick question regarding this cam - VHP "ULTRA TORQUE" STREET / STRIP CAM w/
DUR @ .004" 272*/280*
DUR @ .050" 210*/218*
LIFT .531 / .531
OVERLAP 52*
LSA 112*

Anyone running this specific one? Any noticeable gains throughout the powerband with a tune?
