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.

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?

-Matt
