Nice build! I was thinking of doing the Kooks with the speed eng x. Other than cutting the x for the offroad pipes did it pretty much bolt on. Any other recommendations before I tackle it?

You have to cut the back end of the kooks connection pipes, and cut the front of the x pipe kit. Then you have to figure out a way to join the two, by either swelling one, welding them, or if there is a clamp that does that or not?

What track do you run at? If I end up keeping my car we can run together.

small update
my wheels should be finished in the next few weeks, after that, lots of track times will be to follow I got a sweet deal on a 3.73 rear differential, and waiting for it in the mail. I had originally ordered a GForce aluminum driveshaft last week.... but after seeing what happened to Pray's gforce aluminum driveshaft, I have cancelled my order and ordered a QA1 one instead. It's more money, but you can't put a price on safety imo. Also picked up a set of the poly BMR differential bushings to throw into the new differential, while it's out.

3.73s, differential bushings, driveshaft, and converter are in. Tuner has the car and is trying to dial it all in.
I drove my car, untuned, and without any exhaust (open z pipe) to my friends shop, that's 45 minutes away, with the gears..... at 12 am. Therr are a lot of neighborhoods in the greater Pittsburgh area that aren't fond of me right now. Lol Getting close to having some fun with this thing....

I've always been an advocate of "Dont fear the gear". In my 5th gen, I had 4.10s and I didnt feel like those were enough. In my 4th gen, I had 4.30s. But I can honestly say that if they made 3.90s for this diff, I wouldn't buy them. It's on the border of too much for me, which is exactly where I like it. Lol.
Hitting 8th gear and having the converter already locked before 40 mph is funny.... the car basically lives in 8th gear. Mpg has suffered... running on e85 and with 3.73s, I'm averaging 16 mpg now.
