Mods on the way.

Starting out with one step colder plugs and the SC Pulley/Tune combo. Just going to take things step by step and see how they go. It sounds like it's going to be very promising, though.

Hey, settle down everyone. :p

Mods I plan to do after a while will be headers, TCU tune perhaps w/o rev limiter raising, phenolic spacers and a larger heat exchanger. Basically about the same to what I did to my C 32 originally.

I'm still a little skittish on raising the max RPM limiter, but it sounds like the TCU will be a nice add-on. As it is with my current mods, I shouldn't have a problem with the tranny as is, right?

Koru, sounds like a solid plan. Do the HE along with the SC pulley/tune. Belt wrap kit should be on that list as well.

Nice starting point and nice future plans! You should have no problem with the tranny at any point in your list. Good luck and enjoy in good health!
