I know you are also kicking around the idea of an auto so i get why you are leaning to 3.25s.

He also has a tilton clutch ($$$$$) that helps a ton. I mean most of us stick guys realize a slick is really the only way to consistantly launch a stick car, you need that spinning/hooking action along with a set of, at the very least, good rear shocks. A gear change is extremely cheap and easy, a 3.50 will put you in a very nice spot until you actually need that 160+ trap speed.

Yes the s475 for the money will get most people all the power they want. I also have a little girl due here in the next few months so im having to watch money as well. I see in your sig you have a hayabusa. They are fun for sure. I had a 2008 that put down 200 at the wheel. Few mods and tuned. But now that I have a car this fast id much rather have it as the bike. Few more mods and I could run with one on the highway lol.

Yeah I've definitely had 650 dollars worth of fun from my unit. They told me 700 dollars would get me the 84mm latest and greatest as you say. Turbo capable of 1400+. So I'm ready for what the future holds and very excited to move up to 4digit power soon.

What's the tab on the driver side of the housing for? I just got mine all assembled and it does not have that. I was thinking of making another brace for the side of the torque arm mount using a tab like that.
