I am sure Rdid Pa Mgreat job on it. Not that you are going to beat that thing up anyways. All I have to do is put on my belt, radiator, bleed clutch and brakes and drive down the road. Every damn time I start to work on it I have to pull off for some BS. Shoot me a pm when you are going to pick it up, I might meet you up there.

New forged 347. The last stock parts rebuild lasted around 2000 miles. The machine shop bowed out of the blame, but it was leaking down 30% on all cylinders except the one piston that was blown. New ported fast, qtp headers, alittle more weight ruduction, blah blah. About to build something else too.

I thought about it. Setup for a 300 shot, built 6 speed, and tex clutch. Still rocking the 10 bolt though, thats no big deal. I am more of a street guy. Going to start making the car nice again, new paint, high dollar wheels, interior etc. Going to do a hybrid turbo car here soon.

so you didn't go with RPM? my stg 4 is still holding up.. if they are going to retune the tranny parameters tell them to give you the tune they gave me, Sean did a bad ace job on my tranny tune... the tune is what makes or breaks the tranny pun extremely intended. I know no one will belive/listen to me on this but the stock tune other than shift points and maybe mesing with some stuff here and there, is the best tune and should be left alone.
