Litchfield didn't have stock of the hard pipes (only a sample), I think they're still in development. The pipes look good - they run from the throttle body down to the silicon hose from the FMIC, no joins and smoother airflow.

Mapping complete and big thanks to Ryan G for a really smooth graph. Pulls really well on the road and sounds awesome on full chat. Ryan said there was more to come, but happy with a really safe 620bhp (no adjustments were required on the road to timing which was nice to hear).

The torque could have been more, but I requested around 600lbft to help preserve the rods

The scenary goes past even quicker, glad I upgraded the brakes.

The car feels smoother than before, pulls hard to the redline.

Water temp seems the same, but I think it will only be of benefit on track or a high speed run where loads of heat is generated for long periods of time.

Get it replaced, worth spending to the cash to rid that horrible plastic oem tank

Litchfield upgraded the firmware on my Ecu yesterday, I'll come down tomorrow and see if Ryan can extract any more GG's from it.

I went to Litchfields for some more parts yesterday, Dodson gearbox clips and they fitted the Willall diff bracket. Some will say this is overkill at this power level, but with the warranty out the window I wanted some extra gearbox protection. At least the gearbox will be ready for a turbo upgrade sometime in the future

Diff bracket, supposed to help strengthen rear diff casing

No idea, nobody bothers buying whole gear boxes when Litchfield can fix at a much cheaper price

I think the price for a complete box has dropped a bit, the $20K in your link was in 2008 when the car was first released.
