    I will shake it down in the spring with the 4.10, if it needs gear, I will base a new choice on 28 tires, so a 4.56 plus would be likely

    It will be interesting for sure, I might get bored if it makes it that far out without a gear change :) Lots of potential good news, I should be able to run much higher tire pressure, it has great splits so I can adjust cam timing back, etc ... I just need to be able to get at it enough to keep out of a bog.

    Yes more tire pressure can fix the bog problem

    Been hung up on what I was going to do for nitrous controls (switches). They make a panel to fit in the ashtray, and there are a few other options, but they all mostly suck to reach from the drivers seat when belted in ...

    DynoTune makes a gauge type control center, but it has more switches than I need.

    Picked up an Autometer gauge pod, and a blank gauge from ProSport and going to build my own. Will mount it on the column beside my shift light, should be easy to reach ... Will have my Arm switch and purge button in there.

    Been wrapped up in other stuff and my real job, but finally getting some wrench time with the Capri. The good news is that it now has a G Force installed :)

    A picture of the clutch before the tranny slid right in :)

    The car should be ready ... A lot depends on break in miles between now and then. I don't ever plan to run the opener

    Not new, but it's a shame this is hidden inside my cold air intake :D
