I like the catch can setup too.

the steering rack from the 1995 Camaro can be used.
The trans T 56 will line up perfectly
the diff will take the hp and the tq
you can swap to the auto 3.90 diff if you want.
No one that I know and are telling, has integrated the dash yet.
not sure how the steering rack affects the handling
weight balance is 53-47
progress-- this is from the fellow in iceland that is running one around.
get this --he is still using the oem fuel pump turning a 11.4 quarter mile time and running a 150 shot! Amazing.

Sounds about right. After the swap the Car probably weighs about the same as a c5 vette. That time suggests he's running the older ls1 (about 300rwhp) which should allow him to run high 12s without the juice.

Guys - The S2K and RX8 kits have been done for months. We've been focusing on many projects in addition to these. We work on pricing for these parts as time allows. This will improve dramatically with our new hire here at the shop. If you guys really want to place an order, give us a call and we'll make it happen for you. Thanks for understanding. We're looking forward to working with you soon.

Done for months, eh? Months. Really. So, the arrogant excuse is "we had to work on parts pricing."

Well, that's it. I'm out. No LSx RX8 for me... not a chance.
