Well everything is back at the shop but the shortblock. I spoke with Aaron yesterday, and they are just waiting on some parts to come in.

But the shep tranny and transfercase are back, and all the boltons, etc are there waiting.

Not sure yet. Either the GSC or the Manley's. I think the manleys because there was going to be a couple weeks wait for the GSC.

The Manley Turbo Tuffs are heavy as ****. Doesn't help the fact that we are trying to rev higher... just my .02 cent. I can't remember the weight of my GSCs off the top of my head, you will have to ask Aaron but I know they were lighter and the Wiseco pistons are lighter than the JEs.

Well, I'm kinda like you, and dont plan on staying with this small of a turbo forever. I have one more year of school left, then i will hopefully be making some decent money. I plan on stepping the turbo up then, and I dont want the rods i choose now to limit me down the road. There are always sacrifices, you just gotta choose your battles.. haha
