I'm at 500 already, so there's only one way to go... But I don't use the car for hard launches. Spoke with Weir today and he didn't think the m85 was any stronger than the stock unit; he suggested...

Does anyone have any real info on if, and by how much, the IS300 differential is stronger than ours? I could pop the 3.91 pumpkin in and send out the stocker, but if there's a big disparity in...

[QUOTE=BRZoomTX;2626797]Go with 3.73's. 3.90's won't be worth it enough. With 3.73's and stock tire height, my 4th gear tops out at over 120. Forgot the exact number, depends on how high I'd rev it...

Do you have any more information on these t56 swaps? I'll be up for replacing the stock transmission once, but I'd just much rather tackle that and be done with it. Which shops are you referencing?

Does that kit include the rotating dimmer switch for them, too? I don't think I see it pictured in their photos. It's easy to find the switch plate, but the dimmer dial seems to be unobtanium.

That's what I meant when I mentioned it rising by as much as 1 psi during a pull--I do watch my boost gauge creep up. It's not a significant enough amount to get worried over though in my opinion.

Very happy to hear it. Surpring, indeed. Despite the street mile evidence that is accruing, it's most assuring to know that they stand up to the stresses experienced only on a track.
