So with a GT42R setup I would think you're looking for over 550HP. So why did you choose a half-bridge motor setup and with 3mm seals? Since you're going to have Steve Kan tune your motor 2mm oem seals would of been ideal since 3mm seals are basicaly made for tuner error and Kan wont make errors. Half-bridge, there is a whole thread about PP, Half Bridge, Semi P, forced induced motors with respected tuners discussing the subject. Steve Kan even mentioned in the thread with his Half-bridge he was only able to go up to X amount of psi before having problems. N/a is a different subject, bp, sp, pp will work well but not with a boosted application. Nice streetport with oem seals and nothing else fancy would of worked just as well. Keep it simple stupid. Then again what do I know i'm just another guy with a FD, its just my opinion. Take no offence just do your homework before you spend $$ don't go by hear say the proof if out there..

Update: GroundZero finally got some more of their LIMs and Oil Pans instock! I ordered one of each. Xavier will be porting the LIM at RX7Store. Also I am having just about everything you can think of polished under the hood. I looked into chrome plating and even called a few places in STL but chrome plating is high $$$$$$ and I only have $. For my exhaust I am going with 2 14'' Long, 6'' Round Case, 4" Center In/Out MagnaFlow race series mufflers. Along with a 4' section of 4" OD SS pipe. This should work well with my 4" DP. Hopefully having 2 mufflers will help tone down the exhaust note some, so that Johnny Law doesn't get too bent out of shape about it. Here are some random pics of my empty engine bay.

Update: I got my Steering Rack back from Maval Engineering. They converted it from a a power steering rack to a manual steering rack. The cost was $221.67 shipped to my door. Not bad considering just about every part was replaced and the quill shafted was welded as well. This will take the slop out of the steering wheel at high speeds.

Update: Dowel Pinning the block is a no-go. Jason at RX7Store quoted me an estimate of what he thought it would cost to have the block pinned. He later found out that it would cost almost 3-4 times what he originally quoted. So based on the extreme, high price for this option and other people having much success with big power without dowel pins, I have decided not to pin the block after all.

I also got this in the mail today. I traded someone my stock piece for this pettit steering wheel column gauge pod. I will be putting my Innovative XD-1 standalone wideband gauge in this pod. That way it will be right smack in the middle so I can keep an easy eye on my AFRs.
