Sound deadening works well...lighter and much cheaper than dynamat. I'm also experimenting with www.koolmat.com over the transmission tunnel.

Suspension works well, but the Bilstein TC shocks aren't stout enough to handle the VPD springs, so I'm getting HD Bilsteins.

As for the dyno results...I'm not sure why the results were lower...the numbers were significant (8-10hp, same for torque) Which is way more than I'd expect from a lightened flywheel for example. Found a similiar issue with our 122 project...dyno numbers much lower after a OD install. I wonder if its the oil pump that builds pressure? Car is running well otherwise...just "pokey" after installing the M41.


Oh, and I've located a set of Panasports...so the "ugly" wheels are for sale with new tires
