I'M SOOOO EXCITED FOR SUMMMER!... sorry, just had to say that. I'm working down here on Kodaik island where it's warm and there's no snow... last time I was off driving conditions sucked. can't wait until summer rolls around.

Should be getting my motor back from the machine shop no later than Friday. Hopefully have it built and back in the car within the next two weeks, then its off to Anchorage for the new AWD dyno at P3! Getting very excited for that. My buddy and I will be down there sometime in March getting both his Evo X MR tuned (currently at P3 right now getting trans work done) and my VIII. Would like to meet up with some of you guys if you are free the weekend I end up scheduling my tune. I'm sure once him and I are both tuned and ready to rock we will be cruising around Anchorage for a bit before heading back to Fairbanks.

That's for sure. Pretty sure he's wishing he had gone with the GSR right now. Hopefully they can get it working right though. With the power that thing is putting out he has had nothing but problems with that transmission since he got the car. I think I'm just as excited for his to be done as mine. We went out for a cruise a few days before he brought it down to P3 and that thing is a beast even with it detuned and the trans messed up.

After the clutch packs are upgraded then he should be good. There are many shops making 450+ lbs tq on the MR tranny. I love the sst tranny, been my fav car to drive. I miss the shifting of a 5 speed sometimes but not very often and bracket racing will be easier then ever now.

dude your car is going to be so sick. You can talk all day about how your going to be happy at 330whp. We both know you can get alot more before you hit 450ft/lbs, you'll get tired of that warranty.....

Are you serious?! That's all I want to do on my car and I'd be more than happy to have that much power.
