Thanks. I was really surprised at how hard her death hit me. Turns out I bonded with her as much as she did with me.
My car is currently at DDM. The T56 is all part of the upgrades. We are also going to be testing a GTX2867 to see if that has any gains over the GT2871 Turbo. In theory it should spool quicker than the 2871 and push more air up top.

There is a members journal section of the site that would be good to swap your build thread over to.

Wow, I have not posted on here forever.
So the engine build did not go as well as planned. I chased some demon's for a couple of years and finally the timing chain broke and took out the top of the engine and 2 cylinder walls cracked. I briefly contemplated dropping a 2Jz in it, but then I had a crazy little car catch my eye. As such, I sold the sky with a blown engine. On top of Car troubles, I had 3 more surgeries on my hips. The FAO surgeries were successful, but the hip sockets were destroyed and I felt like I was walking on broken glass. Only option was to replace both hips. I am now a partial robot. I sold the Jeep because I could not 4wheel anymore and took some time off to heal. But Fear Not, I am doing well now and seriously upped my car game. I managed to buy back my 2006 Buell Lightning Bolt. The wife drives a Ford Focus RS and my current car is............... A 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider We also adopted 2 retired Greyhounds. I need a new photo hosting site and then I will create a member journal For now, you can click on the link in my signature to check out RYUK.

Thanks. I uploaded all my pertinent photos to there and will go back and fix some broken links as well as create a Member Journal.
As for the 4C. I love it. It's literally the most affordable Super Car out there. The company that makes the Carbon Fiber Tub for McLaren, makes the tub for the 4C. It is then shipped to Italy where they put the car together by hand. It's super light and super fast. To compare it to my Sky, My best and last Dyno was 380HP and 390TQ car. The 4C has 237HP and 258TQ at the engine and is quicker. Stock 0-60 in 4.1 seconds with an insane dual clutch setup that upshifts in 120ms. Here is a teaser pic before I create the Member Journal
