Finally forced myself to find time to lower my FMIC to fit properly in the new front bumper.

Used to use the tweakit, but since I personally saw multiple bearing failures, I am now using the Pineapple big turbo idler. Have not had any issues, since the bearing is properly captivated.

Decided to go with the Greddy Rocket Bunny rear spoiler. The RB Type II has been bothering me for years, but I just could not find anything I really liked.

Going to paint the front red to match the car and the sides/rear black to match the taillights.

We are so swamped, the spoiler still is not painted or mounted. I have decided to just paint it black to match the trim & door handles.

I also found the limits of torque capacity of the Exedy Twin Disk, so I have a new Exedy Triple to install

PS2s are a little bit older tire technology at this point..... I'm assuming you were limited a bit on your choices by the sizing.

There are not a lot of options for the 335, but if they are good enough for O.E. fitment on the BMW Alpina Z8, McLaren SLR and Porsche GT2/GT3 models, I figured they would work OK for my car. They do a fantastic job of holding the power, enough so that we just had to upgrade to the triple disk clutch. So sticky, that they pick up speedy dry when rolling around the shop.

Why the A/R change? Was the other hot side insufficient?

Depends on your definition of insufficient, car made over 750rwhp on our Mustang Dyno. The Exedy Twin Disk became insufficient at that point, so I decided that if I had to have the DP out for the clutch I may as well up the hot side. I see no difference in response and the 1.16 turbine map looks like it should make a lot more power at the same level of boost.
