Just adding some VERY important information for anyone who might read this down the road. IF you go to your local machine shop to get your crank keyed, there's like a 99% chance they're going to use a broach and a press to key your sprockets and you're gonna have a bad time. This is a *NORMAL*...

I would totally buy one of your knobs if you can make me a custom Skeletor head shift knob lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea, there's absolutely no doubt that it's a quality CLUTCH, pressure plate, and flywheel surface machining. All that is beautiful work and absolutely recommend-worthy. But the ring gear NEEDS to be inspected for proper seating for anyone who buys this and the lip design on the flywheel can be...

My machinist’s concern is that the flywheel outer rim lip is flat and not tapered, and with the ring gear compressing that lip it’s constantly putting pressure on the lip and making it flex in. Over time and with heat, that’s a perfect setup for that gear to naturally want to pop off. That’s why...

Got mine today. This thing is super light, welds look solid, powder coating is decent, plus it has a purple TB logo on it. Who doesn't love purple logos? More info to come later once it's on the car.

So, it looks like everything is working itself out. Got the flywheel fixed, got the internals balanced, all is well. However, in my infinite wisdom when I took the crank to be balanced and keyed, I may have inadvertently forgotten to bring my crank pulley. That might be a little necessary for...

By the way, here is an EXCELLENT video series testing race fuels. The test car is a Corvette C7 with a forced induction DI motor. VP’s C85 (E85) *cut* to C40 (E85 + 93) went on to win the test overall and made the most power, beating even super expensive race fuels. Pump E85 *cut* to E40 was...

My bad, your response came right after mine and with no quote it’s hard to tell who you’re talking to. I would think taking both of our comments into account, however, E85 is neither convenient nor beneficial. The thread you linked has instructions on taking apart your fuel pump, cleaning it...

That only applies if you’re going over E50 and as I said, there is no tangible benefit to E85 over E50. Metaphorically speaking, putting E85 in your tank is like putting a Magnum condom on a 5 inch dick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

50/50 E85 + 93 octane is like E46. Close enough and ridiculously easy to manage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is no real performance gain between E50 and E85. Numerous studies and tests have shown all it does is consume more fuel by volume. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just called their phone number. I forgot the first guy’s name I got Friday. This time I got “JP.” Trust me... I’d much rather have dealt with the same guy lol Edit: My machinist is competent. We’re just going to re-seat the ring gear properly and roll with the first one they sent out since it...

Well, things went downhill pretty fast. I got my replacement flywheel and this thing looks like hot garbage and this ring gear is not seated either. I called South Bend to express concern and an individual named JP seemed to be both in disbelief that I was sent a replacement and that I even had...

This is probably the extremely rare circumstance in which I believe the BaysonR knockoff of the GV grill is probably better for most people than the actual Garage Vary version. I got the real GV one, which is high-quality fiberglass, but fitment was a gigantic pain in the dick, there are no...

I take mine out at least once every 3 months, so mine will be nice and easy lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Video of Matt’s engine swap first fire on base map! It’s louder than normal because exhaust still isn’t hooked up, but she purrs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cork gaskets in 2018? Even spray gaskets are better than that shit!

Setback #2: South Bend flywheel ring gear was not fully seated. However, South Bend was absolutely awesome and is rushing me a replacement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

On a side note... I put the South Bend box in this picture just for perspective. Inside that box is the flywheel and whole clutch assembly, so it’s not a small box. What’s in the big ass box under it, you wonder? Just 2 cp-e motor mounts lol. Sheesh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
