I have the Greddy TT setup w/ 20G's upgrades & ceramic ball bearing cartridge. Basicly the same as Sharif's I beleive. These are the same ones I had with the last built engine.
Should be enough to push 24PSI before starting to run out of the flow band.

Noah, Where are my GT Spec parts.... 
...
Hey man, I am still waiting for my engine to be finished and then the car can go up on the lift. I also need to get Sharif paid before he does too much work
Regarding the Diff.... It looks like the ATS will stay for the time being and I will hold off on the 3.3 fd. But who knows, maybe something will change and the diff might be up for grabs.

Brent, good to see that you have somewhat resolved the previous issues and moved on to getting your beast back into action. It would seem that quite a few of the old timers are shifting to the 4.2L strokers. It would be interesting to see how that concept takes off in the VQ community.
Best on your remake and looking forward to catching up with your roadster this season.

I have been looking into a remvable rollcage for the last year. Just have not had the car long enough to get it to my shop so they can really look into it.
As it is a street car, the cage has to be removable (ie only installed for the rallies and racing) and can not inhibit the top from operating when the cage is not installed.
As for the tranny, I have not heard of any reason to upgrade/replace it yet. I know GTM make some gearing sets, but right now I do not think I need them.

Well, I hope the longblock is completed and shipped today...
Everything else is lined up and ready as soon as the engine arrives. Hopefully it should he be completed in the next week. (fingers crossed).
Am trying to wait patiently (although I am sure GTM and Forged are tired of my constant calling )

Well she is up and running today... idle is perfect and honestly I can't even tell the engine has been changed. Cams and everything run real smooth. The twin SSQV's are loud as hell though...
Still have a # of minor things that need to get added, but right now she is up and running.
Will provide more updates when time permits.
