Thanks to the help of Dan-d and a few others, my Crower Stage2's and Kent gears are installed. Of course the cursed car made the installation more "fun" than usual. One of my brand new oil seals was defective, and we didn't notice this until about 5 minutes into the break-in period when oil was kind of spraying everywhere. Not fun.
So after we had a beer, swore, took it apart, ate, and put it back together...the car runs great. Idles a little rough with the Z-engineering motor mount. Performance is okay, but I really didn't expect much since I am still running a stock header/cat (waiting for the FocusSport 4-2-1).
Pretty worthwhile investment, but just a word of advice........order 2-3 oil seals if you plan on replacing them. Better safe than sorry.
