ok i went in and talk to the guys about the car and everything
cam timing will totally be redone alot of math to figure this one out this is the biggest bug right now cause they where maxing out the cam gears to get it to ideal right adv at 25-30 when it should be a 10 so if that cant get fixed the 272 are coming out and the stocks are going in on the pistons after the math was done and the computer corrected it with the number of the head cc etc comp was 8.3:1 on 8.0:1 pistons before correstion factor it was 8.7:1 so they gave all the numbers to cp so that i get a piston that will give me an 8.5:1 compression for the few days they drove around to tune the car he said it would break loose at 8 psi clear into 3rd thats not even getting on it so it reconformed that the motor would easily hit my goal for power now just to sit and wait for the pistons reinstall them and then he is going to take his time on the cams to get this car up to there standards before turning it over to me for the break in period

Why not go with the E54 (I think) tranny from the mr-2? It's proven to handle 3sgte tuned power very well, also came with lsd I believe... Start looking around for one potentially --------------------  |
