The build by Skidd is actually pretty cool, but...seriously, cost/performance/time ratio, do you see yourself bothering to do all that?
I agree w ya. Once upon the time, I thought bout making my RS SC, but it was too complex so I gave up... but if you look at Raptor's SC, it's fairly easy to set up & give you helova good hp/tq for low psi. As for the cost, just bit cheaper than doin' the swap... so in the end, I was saving up to do H6 & 6sp tran swap til FT-86c came up. lol
