eyes open for you. if i find you a 98+, i'd probably
want first refusal if you decide to let it go in a few years,
when it depreciates into my preferred price range.

also have Rollmaster double roller timing chain not installed
Bummer, but I understand the situation you are in.Derek
The only people that know that my hood doesn't match are hardcore enthusiasts. You can tell it's not stock, but its not that bad.
A couple rock chips on the hood, a 1.5 inch paint scratch on the rear bumper, and no dents anywhere.
No idea on estimate for tranny. I didn't plan on getting it fixed at all, doesn't bother me one bit.
I couldn't really guess on rwhp estimates as this is the fastest car I've ever owned or rode in. Pm distortion_69 and tell him to ask Craig about the estimates. He should be able to help.
We didn't install the oil pump and timing chain b/c the pump didn't come with an o ring and you can't reuse the stock one. And since you have to pull the oil pump to get to the timing chain, we couldn't put the double roller on.
I'll have to charge for the pump and chain seeing as how they are NIB sitting in my apt. But I'll pay to get them installed, along w/ !EGR and !AIR. Don't worry, I'll give you a major deal. I'll give you the oil pressure sending unit for free.
Been to the track a total of three times for seven runs I believe. All were before the cam and intake and with slippery Nitto drag radials. Consistently trapped 109/110 before cam and intake (not powershifting). I haven't been to the track after the cam/intake for two reasons:
First, I now have BFG dr's on instead of the Nitto's and the BFG's hook like glue. I didn't want to risk the rearend snapping b/c then I'd have a hard time selling the car.
Second, I now know how to powershift and once again didn't want to risk breaking something before selling it.
Car has 98k on the odo. I still drive it everyday w/ no issues.
