Finally wrote it up...

This is what will be installed in the car by the end of next month. A disaster of course would slow that down, but I think I should be okay.

Looks like the weakest link will be the rear end right now. Once that is fixed....Watch Out!!!

very impressive cant wait to see/hear a clip

That sounds like a heck of a setup, any estimates on the power output? That stage 5 clutch is gonna be a bit of an on/off clutch isn't it, either nothing or everything?

Yeah, but most Spec clutches are like that. I have driven a Stage 4 before, and 3-4 local guys told me the Stage 5 is streetable, so.....

I am looking for about 500 RWHP with this set-up N/A.

Damn Mr. Luos... Looks like you're pretty busy for the month... :lol:

Make sure to get some videos of your car after you install everything, I can't wait to see that baby roar :D

Will do.

The biggest thing right now is waiting to see what pans out with this oil pump. There was a striped helicoil in it where the oil pickup connects to the pump....wouldn't torque down.
SLP is telling my dealer this is my fault. I wish that company would just step up for once and admit shit happens. Not everything goes out perfect. Probably will be two weeks before I get a pump to work with....No more SLP parts for me, terrible customer service. You would think a company that is starting to slide would try to help their customers out better.

Damn, two weeks for a oil pump... That's pretty long...

Are you getting your rear end fixed soon? Because I'm sure you want full power out of that beast... I know I want to see it :D And without a good rear end you wont be able to launch it hard...

There won't be any hard launches for a while.

The stock rear end will hold up 'okay' for now at my altitude. I lose a bunch of power up here.

Yea, when are you planning on gettin your rear end fixed/changed or whatever your next plans are?

EDIT: BTW, I just wanted to ask you who made your signature picture for you Mr. Luos?

I have been using that sig for years man.

The guy that did it was from a different board, and he hasn't posted there in well over a year.

BTW...that oil pump. SLP is expecting mine before they get me a new one. That is the frustrating part. I sent it out today, even spent money to have it rushed a little bit.
Once they get it, they will take their sweet ass time too....

damn.. thanks for the heads up about slp then... wont be goin their way

They normally aren't too bad. Just this time they are saying I did it. Just admit that not everything comes out perfect and work with me to replace it quickly.
They have always taken a little longer to ship stuff to me, but they are in New Jersey and I am in Colorado. Couple days at least.
SLP is overpriced, and after this experience, I assume they aren't the best with customer service.

Understand this as well though. I haven't talked to them directly. I have been going through my dealer. Things might be a little different if I called them and bitched. Maybe I should. Anyways....

Luos, that thing is truly going to be a beast of a machine. Might warn any passengers to bring a fresh change of pants, or just plastic wrap their seats.

Seeing all those Texas Speed parts you're getting makes me feel all warm :) I live maybe 20-30 minutes from TSP here in Lubbock. I found a friggin crapload of parts that offer stage III heads, intake and throttle body work for my 6 and I have plans on getting this lined up for the summer w/ a tranny swap :evillol:
