yes i am, the car will be mine and i will build it up and represent KTR regardless of their support, i know i will at least have full access to their shop after hours and free access to their dyno but i am hoping to get help with the parts to make the build go MUCH faster

been doing fsae for a couple years and tuning for some guys locally in michigain for a while while i was at school, most of my experience is with small formula cars motorcycle engines at school with ecu's like the motec and higher end stuff. while im not doing that i have a lot of experience with 3000gt's you could search my name on 3si and find some info and reviews of some stuff ive done. all my none fsae experience is mostly AEM but i have done some other stand alones and advanced piggy backs

The IX's are strong. They are noticably stronger than the VIII's. I hav not see any big issues with them. I think there was a TSB for an oil line or coolant line to the turbo. I could be wrong. Just make sure the car is up to date and have fun!

that will be replaced immediatly anyway, so would the trans with a dog box so im not worried about that, what about the mivec? i havent been able to find a factory manual. how are the piston to valve clearences? something to worry about? i havent been able to find this info and dont have a manual yet like i said. just trying to get a head start. since it will be controlled with an M800 is there anything to worry about compatability wise? im not using the plug and play.
how is the drivetrain? drive shaft, t-case, diff's etc??? in the mean time ill be searching lol
