I was unaware of your project until today when Mrmiata & I were talking about Star-DAS and he told me of your success… Your achievement is certainly an inspiration to me, keep up the good work…
Thank you, and if you ever need anything let me know. How close are you to ECU work on your swap?

Thanks Doc, the gearing is hard to get used to. I'm almost wanting to move in the 2.xx range.

A huge congratulations, for those of us that want to keep our six speeds and want to add some pretty great HP to the mix, this is literally the only way - Thank you, sir.
As soon as I can lol. We can definately get something going for you too.
Thank you, it's pretty good money spent lol. No better way to mod one of these things.... well except for an even bigger V8

Glad we were finally able to get that thing going!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the help on your end too. This never would have happened had you not helped me get the swap down and an understanding of our electronics.

I was pretty nervous too. The engine I bought was ridiculous to say the least. I almost wish I would have just kicked in the extra bucks for a nicer one. Almost lol. It won't be in there long anyway so we are all good!
