What did you do for weight reduction? Do you have a rough idea of the total weight loss?

Arp head studs , antenna ijs alright I have satellite xm anyway,

Stock turbo big wheel by Mikes turbo picked it up off the street for $180

I built the engine went LDK pistons and left stock rods they were perfect.

Ment the wheels are lighter and smaller rim less weight. Cars sitting now in my warehouse put away for one of those nights that the car everyone in town talks about bt never sees come out; )

Gotcha. Yeah, lighter wheels plus reduced moment of inertia do a lot.

Dang I'm running 24.5. How you liking the new clutch? Which one did you get?

mikeluis92

The Stock clutch on crateenginedepot.com with slave cylinder and throw out bearing is perfect

1-24239996 Pressure Plate and Disc
6-11570368 Pressure Plate Mounting Bolts
1-24242805 Slave Cylinder-Throw-out Bearing
1-24422067 Slave Cylinder Pipe

Im leaving it stock turbo with big wheel im just going to maximize this setup its very fast. I earlier did a 3rd gear pull, spins from 50 mph to 60.
I did all new front end suspension aswell, car suspension is a like a damn cadillac compared to other vehicles my friends drive lol

mikeluis92

I use it for daily driving its perfect in traffic disengaging and engaging.
