I really appreciate all the wonderful comments everybody! Thanks for taking the time to read my updates!
97ta383 - yeup.. its the TSP ORY
I guess it does seem like a quick build to a lot of people, but honestly.. ive been working on this car 5-6 days out of the week after work, many, many nights till 4 am haha. My cousin lend me a hand whenever possible made things easier too! Thanks ROB! to me it was a eternity, a good month of straight labor lol. took my sweet time cleaning everything i could in the engine bay and underneath just cause i wanted it to look "new" again. Also did the wire mod, air delete. Ive posted a thread regarding my driveshaft being short, so i'll probably be placing an order through bob. I still need to install a few more parts laying around my house since the build. oh yeah.. prostars and slicks coming soon!

More pics! Heres an update on some parts that i just got a couple of days ago. If i get some free time tomorrow I will be installing these. UMI t/a w SL, PST 3.5, Tick Master and black powder coated billet grill.
Im debating either getting my windows tinted or some injectors first.. I know its not "necesary" to upgrade Injectors with a H/C, but it just feels so right to do so. Ive spoken with Jon over at Fuel Injection Connection, Probably gonna pull the trigger on the 32lb Bosch, or 36lbs with our 58 psi fuel pressure which I think will be Juust right. After this, gotta get this baby tuned ASAP. here you go....

Tick Master installed and this thing is the ****! Feels like im shifting in my civic.
now for the bad part, Turns out the UMI tunnel brace T/A 2203 doesnt work with TSP new ORY. Im exchanging this one for the relocation T/A a few extra bucks but will be a better piece. Thanks again to Larry @ speedInc!

Finally got it tuned, DYNO numbers were 432/392tq with cut out open. Took it to the track and ran 11.8 at 121mph. 1.6 60ft. Wasnt too happy with these numbers, my driving sucks lol. The driver side slick was wobbling all the way down the track which didnt help. Probably needs to be taken off and put back on. i was only able to get a few runs till the motor decided to shut off. Havent got the chance to look for the problem. hopefully nothing major. If anything, im deciding on building a whole new motor for this car, soon. Heres the video of the run..
