Looks good. That isn't the header you will actually use on the car is it?

The only thing I see there is a lot of torque steer w/out LSD or sometype haha Looks good though.

Do you already have the Tranny? It's not bad but I like the 4.10 final drive gears that comes in the stock ZX2 that are in my sedan. With that kind of power setup you'll reach 100 fast, then die off because their tranny lacks a good top half I was told, it was geared for 0-100 right?

Anyways, looks like you have a nice project going.

If you need any help just PM me I'll come out. I don't have extensive tools, but as far as escorts go, any make/model I I pretty much know like the back of my hand

I'm guessing he's shooting for around 250-300 with the 100shot.
