How much are you looking to get out of the kit and what does it include?

It should include everything you need, down to every bolt, except the heat exchanger coolant.

Yes, we raced around and he would hang with me from an over 40 roll. Anything under 40 my 4wd let me take him pretty easy.

This kit has taken me to a 12.0 @115mph on cheap all season tires. I'm a good tire away from 11s.

I do believe that this kit puts then engine at the max of what should run on a daily driver. Ryan drives his truck like he stole it and manually shifts all the time which puts more stress on the drive train as the torque converter is locked once you hit 2nd gear.

I'm contemplating building my engine. It just depends on how much I get back from taxes and have left over after paying all my bills. Maybe I'll put a circle D converter in there while it's out.
