What makes you think I didn't have an extended warranty???
My mileage was up already on my extended
I was over the 70K on 7/70
Oh well, got a '05 LSD tranny now and new clutch, about $800 was labor
That's why I am seriously consider retiring the car from DD status after this summer.
I am saving for a house, but I have budgeted for the Caliber SRT-4 I have been eying since the LA Auto Show...

Im looking to make 400 whp on pump, you think you can make it by porting the exhaust manifold of stage 3, port the intake manifold throttle body and spacer?

No - I have those mods.... 360WHP with basic bolt ons and that port work you mentioned

i dont see 400 on pump being obtainable with those mods...400 on HOM all day long.
ok i am wanting to go stage 3 with all port work and tb and what not.... what do you guys do to get it to spool a little faster or what do you do to get a lil more power

usually most guys upgrade to big wheel stage 3. either 44, 47, 48/lb min wheels are the most common. there are all kinds of options for us stage 3 guys. i have the 47lb/min stage 3 turbo with the upgraded turbine wheel too. i am hoping that ill be putting down about 400 on pump gas (which i am fairly confident that i will be). your stock stage 3 doesn't spool quickly enough for you? if you have a big wheel, usually you can go with some brian crower stage 2 cams or crane 12's to help spool it a tad quicker along with keeping some power up top. another thing that will help your top end power is an aftermarket WGA.
well, there are vids/pics of my install, but i haven't gotten them yet
here is the testament of my builder when he first did a low boost pull in the car. keep in mind that he owns a mid-11 second Evo VIII. low boost=12 lbs creeping to 16

ttyl,
