That looks like a killer starting point! To be the guy with the crappy comment, I'd think twice about that T5 if you intend to beat on this car. The 306 you mentioned will eat it alive, as the real torque limit of a T5 is closer to 300 lbs, rather than 350 (within reasonable driving limits). (I just sold the same combo earlier this year--the motor was great.) I'd spend a couple extra bucks on a TKO, which might require more sheetmetal work, but will not require removal after a couple track days . . .
Progress looks great!
