Subscribing to this. Great build and love the T1 wing. They can still be had from Tiger Racing correct? Or did you get yours from somewhere else on the internets?

Thanks!
Mine was from the original group buy off of SVTP but Tiger did the work.
Not much new. Put a couple tanks through on a road trip and got 18.3 and 19.4 mpg. Not bad with 4:56's and the way I was driving.

Yeah I get right at 20mpg from my bolt on PI 2V but that has 3.73s. Can't imagine 4.56s...

I really don't see too much difference from the 4:10's. I'd say I will be over 20mpg when I get the T56 installed but this car isn't about getting good mileage.

Was going to go t56 myself but for way less money I can get a basically bulletproof t45 that bolts right in so probably that the route or even a built auto but that is blasphemy I know...

I almost picked up a buddy's Hanlon built T45 for $500 but it needed some TLC and the T56 I have is also beefed up so I opted to stick with that plan.
My clutch and FRPP IRS cover will be here next week but I think I will shoot for a winter/spring install since everything is still working and the weather has been great so I don't want any down time. I am going to pull my Autometer oil pressure and temp gauges and go with a set of Speedhut gauges to replace them and a temp gauge for the IRS.
Thanks!
