The T56 Super Mag has a 6th gear ratio of .63

Even with a 3.73 rear I'd be looking at 2350 rpm at 80 mph.

East Coast Supercharging is finishing the wiring. We used a retro kit that replaces every wire in the car. I don't want to worry about rotted insulation or a bad ground while cruising.

New dash and gauges are in and are a nice upgrade. I'm trying to keep everything else as close to factory looking as possible.

Targeted completion date is April 1.
Scott



New rear will be a custom spec'd Moser M9 that will be able to crush rocks

Everything has been done except the rear diff that was custom spec'd from Moser.
They recently completed the new dash, wiring and replaced every wire in the car.

I'll be getting an update on Monday but it's the last piece to go in before they tune it.
Very stoked
Scott
