exactly Hymlee---bad syncos do not go away with a shifter change---it only made it liveable a little while longer.
I know it was the synco as when double clutching--it goes away. The oem shifter pushs/pulls things slower therefore more liveable at present? I would still have my ss in if the trans was good. i still remember going from redline in 3nd to 2nd at Road Atlanta with the oem in!
But -- I am willing to sell mine if someone wants it--its all relative. My trans issues (other than a little noise) has nothing to do with the ss. Period.
I used too much Royal Purple in it maybe?
Rote 8---pm me any news

YEA!!!
Well--- i hooked up a vacuum gauge with boost readings on it also and ran around awhile. I dont know how accurate the gauge is but it seemed my system kinda struggled to get to 8 lbs and that was after 7K. Is that about normal---or maybe by bypass valve (turbotecnic something) needs "upgrading"
That was with the w/m on.

I'll ask again since it was really wasn't talked about when I first asked...
I get a really loud raspy airflow noice near high rpms with different throttle positions,,,
Its not the ports its almost like something comes loose and is blowing in the wind, like a small flag in a hurricane(thats the best I can do for a description of the noise)...
It comes in under throttle and is anywhere from 53000-8Krpms depending on engine load,,,
It doesnt seem to effect my performance and generally my needle in my boost gauge stays put during the transition into the noise...
Anyone have any ideas???...

Okay guys. I had to know for sure if I was making any improvements. I reset the MAF scaling back to stock. I figured out another way to keep my AFRs in check. Keep in mind my MAF scale is now the same as yours and Pettits'. How does 360g/s sound?? Ambient temp of @65.

Juan and I are heading down to Pettit/PBIR tomorrow for some drag race action. Although my car will be sidelined, I am bringing a fairly high horsepower camera to record the action for everyone's enjoyment (ok, mostly mine).
Hopefully by the time I get back from the event a nice box from UPS containing the Exedy Stage I clutch kit will be waiting for me on my desk.

Hmmm, just got in my 1000 mile break in. Contemplating a before and after run. The only thing that sucks is I have 225 tiny tires but traction isnt an issue yet so I might just hold off. Im in the market for a good deal on a sexy staggered set of 18 rims, maybe a 285 rear and a 265 front.

I'm much nicer to my clutch now that I'm no longer a rookie with a manual transmission (this is the first MT car I've owned). I didn't learn to drive stick with this car, but I might as well have. I think Stage I will be good enough to last me a while. This clutch lasted 36k, the Stage I will hopefully last twice as long.
