that's awsome man,
Now, I do believe that some motors are made slightly better than the others
A lot of 5AT guys with Non-Revup motors are making ~<225whp mark (corrected). So mine being at ~246-252whp corrected would put me in the same line as the 6MT folks
You should've kept your strong & solid Z dude.
I'm going to try out the new type of Coilover Setup from Function and Form (not the previous one that Eddie Reviewed nor the AMR Engineering's ones).
They've sent one to Nikki Cash and still awaiting the review as well

I'm hoping that my custom setup will arrive soon.
I've been very busy lately, will try to snap some pics this weekend for ya
