Heh, well it's been more than a month; it's been slowly forming since June when I got the car.

Actually I'm just looking-for/hoping-for 10s; all of this extra weight and no reduciton minus spare and jack... it's a pig.

you will have to modify the crossover pipe
it bangs the bottom of the tranny and makes the computer pull spark
I think that I am going to re-do the passanger side heddar and crossover with a aftermarket K member and run the pipe in front of the oil pan
it would work fine on a auto car
I just took mine and used a press to flatten it out a little so it would not hit
and the gound clearance it pretty bad there also

Very nice...I wish I had *** loads of turbo stuff in my living room...i have some stuff in my garage but it's for the oldschool small block, and does me no good since i switched powerplants over to the LS1...Let me know when it gets running and tuned, I wanna know what numbers you got so I can kinda maybe formulate a guess as to what mine will do when it's done.
