Hi ,

In regards to a 3 hour job, I think that might be for a 6MT gear change and not including changing the tranny lines and fittings to bigger sizes as well as fabricating the brackets to allow for the biggest trans cooler that would fit.

I converted the gear ration in a 7AT and had to use a 6mt LSD housing to allow for the gears to fit.

In regards to tracking. Yes, I track the car about 6 times a year (its all I can afford)

My goal is to build a somewhat bomb proof N/A track car. It doesnt mean at some point i wont go TT. But right now I , I produce 315 at the wheels and my thought is whats the use in having horse power if you cant put it down the right way.

Everything that is being built/upgraded is with the intent to make it dependable and if I do upgrade to TT , Ill have all of the necessary pieces somewhat in place.

The after market 1.5 LSD's that are available ( in my opinion) are much better than what is stock. If you race , you'll notice you can really drive the corners and hook up better out of the apex. Its not as squirrly.

Anyway, my 2 cents. I hope i answered everyone's questions

Also the gear change coupled with the new LSD is a huge difference. Best upgrade for the car.
