Thanks Lee! I want the car to be lighter, but I don't have the heart to gut it out.. I'm trying to find a clean FC to swap this motor into and build a dedicated drag car with, but the way my wallet is looking that may not be for another few years...

Only compressor wheel that comes to mind is the billet 76mm which is good for 120 lbs/per min Unless you not going to run a borg warner compressor whee but they are the best bang for the buck

Sounds exactly like something I'm going to be looking for. Can't wait for results! Mike's got a great reputation. I'm sure it will be a solid performer.

Thx!! Tranny is a G Force 4 spd clutch assisted, the diff was a stock S4 T2,, but
Now I'm gonna try the kazz 1.5 diff,, my best 60 ft was 1.33 with a factory diff
Out of a junk yard,,, no joke... IMO the factory Mazda T2 diff is a beast!!!
