Quick Update. Added Flat Shift to my tune. Holy Crap I love it. I started having problems getting into 3rd. So I upgraded my Diff Mounts to Garage Star Delrin. Now at Idle it feels like theres a back massage. After long drives in traffic i shake like an alcoholic haha. They aren't that bad. Shifting is cake and now I have a little diff whine when acceleration. I have IL motorsport motor mounts so that may also have a lot to do with the severity of the stiffness. The old diff bushings were ****. I was bumping my exhaust with the diff and getting wheel hop on launches. All thats gone with the new bushings. I can also now find 3rd under hard accel.

Also I am in the market for a used manifold with external waste gate or an old FM manifold I can tap for one. I had one but I was dumb and sold it before I knew I could tap the bottom of it like an old FM3.

Lots of engine pullin' going on around here lately.

Want to come up to Granbury and pull the engine out of the silver car? I'll let you take wicked photos with obscene gestures!
