I just ordered the spec stg3 also but they discontinued the different disc materials now they have the new X-pad which is suppose to be good for 700tq with stock driving maners.

Once all hardware/clutch and leaks and BOV issues are gone you will get the power your looking for. I have faith in the kit. Theres some really impressive numbers out there already. Patience grasshopper. It will need a few more tuning tweeks Im sure. But have fun with it not stress. Its a car and nothing more.

Trans, Take it easy, dont give up on it, try going over it, double clamp everything, and look for rubbing and chafing, (like a fat girls legs and Thong)
do the BOV at a seperate time, try one thing at a time, then see what happens, chech headers for a small leak or crack. You have to understand it doesnt take much to set these off.
Stay calm and take your time, you got all winter. If you need a hand let me know.
Also, spec 3 in my car all year with well over 500 rwhp, no problems! Love it!

Hey Greg, I've been away for a while, but I'm just catching up on this post. Like everyone here said, be patient. We are all here to help you out. Don't rush to the dyno after you go over the kit, without getting your tune re-checked. That could cuase even bigger problems. We're here for ya! Good luck and things will work out in the end!
