Whats up guys? I'm new to large displacement and the forum, I can't wait to learn from all of you. I drive a 2003 Mitsubishi Evolution VIII and have recently purchased an FD rx-7 and I plan to cram the LS1 and T56 in there. I can't wait to start taking apart the LS1 as It will be a large departure from the 122ci 4G63 I'm used to. Take care guys.

Hey bro, don't give up on that 4G... Those are stout moutors and react VERY well to mods. Just make sure you upgrade that clutch and you will be good to go. I suggest AMS for your tunning needs in IL. Good luck with the RX-7 swap.

^Don't worry, I'm well aware of the tunability of the 4G63, I'm making 402 whp and 423 lb/ft on higher (28psi) of boost. Great little motors no doubt. I've used mainly Buschur and AMS for tuning. Thanks for the well wishes on the 7, i'll need them.
