BTW, do the Spyder owners think there is a lot of body flex? I was pondering a roll bar and some weld stiffening...

Thanks all,

Sorry about that......its a Spyder turbo.......

I have the rear suspension hung with the AWD gas tank. I am taking out the interior to do the drive shaft mounts and then I will drop in the AWD tranny and TX case....For the work I was thinking of doing the motor at the same time (stroker kit and EVO turbo with upgraded fuel manage) but I am not sure yet.....

I agree, drive train isnt electroniclly controlled(unless you have some sort of ACD or DCCD which GSXs didnot) so I would assume he fine with the one you got

Thank you for the input. The are listed diff in the crach book and I was not sure if the AWD trans and FWD trans were different sensor/ECU wise.

Thanks all,

Val

get435 -Thank you for the advice...

Small story...

So I called Jackson, asked them for a quote to build the long block....told them I had 3-4000 to spend. I was ready to send them my 2g head for work.....

.................... They send me back by email a quote for $11,000!!!!!

Back to the drawing board....I was all fired up.....
