I ran mine for a while without the spoiler
 
I like it on there much better and on yours as well. Makes it seem lower in the front.

I love your wheels. Are those DPE's or Forgelines, I cannot remember

Well the transmission is coming back out of my car. I have been fighting a vibration at highway speed in approx 85-95mph range. There has always been a vibration in the 2600-2800 rpm range in the motor. Wouldn't call it a bad vibration. In fact I rode passenger a few days ago and really didn't notice it around town. Just thought it was solid mounts/body mounts. In 1-4th gear it's really not that big a deal. In 5th more harmonics are transferred and it stays in the pocket longer. Orginally I thought it was pinion angle. Until I pushed in the clutch in the pocket and it went away. I was also able to go through that mph range in 4th and beyond with normal vibration.

When I had the engine built it went beyond schedule and they were impossible to reach for a couple months. They were supposed to send the flywheel I paid for. It didn't show and I couldn't wait. After a ton of research and talking with the engine builder. I have a gen vi block with a gen iV crankshaft. I assumed since they used a gen vi block that was the proper flywheel. Turns out you can use a gen iv crank with a adapter for the rear main seal. Keep in mind this is an external balance engine. After some research it appears the weight is in a slightly different place and the imbalance is 33 OZ in the gen iv and 41.7 in the gen v/vi. 8 oz is quite a bit a weight on the end of a crankshaft. I am surprised it only showed up between 2600-2800. I hope I haven't done any damage to my engine. :rolleyes: Would have been nice for them to put something in my paperwork indicating this little fact!!! Oh well....time will tell.

See the difference?

any reason with all your engine work done, your builder did not internally balance the motor? on the 496 i built for vinny, it balanced very easy with taking weight out.
hope everything's ok

That is exactly what I was trying to explian. They are a few grams different and different location. Hope this fixes you, it sounded like it was a few grams out. I doubt you hurt the motor though.

Car looked killer BTW, Appreciate you bring it out to the party. People we GaGa over it. But I missed that ride.

Next Year!
