One of the problems the guy said was wheel spinning in fourth, must be fairly light, but I suppose that can also be attributed to torque.

What's crazy about it he's done a good DIY job, nothing wrong with it..................You're problem is, if it aint got a hairdryer attached it aint worth it. There's nothing wrong with being enthusiastic about cars and trying different things. And the N/A converstion is a good way to go, if you're technicaly able to do it yourself

One more thing every post about performance you've posted is always about horsepower, torque has alot to do with it and so does power to weight ratios, two things you never take into consideration.

Its a beast, started as a 1990 ST184 and stuck the V6 in it.
