Definitely looking forward to all your products for this motor. 300 hp NA V6...can you say glorious!?! What tranny are you using?

the DBW on this perticular ECU is quite nice. the reaction is instant. there's a 1/2 second lag if the ECU things the transmission isn't in drive, but if you connect the wiring harness properly (just two wires together) it reacts like a sports car should.
here you can see how I mounted the pedal (i sell that adapter with the kit)
for putting the power to the ground I was originaly using the exeedy stage 2 clutch & PP with a 1MZ fidanza flywheel and a stock E153 trans from my 1994 turbo. I roasted that clutch disk in about 3000 miles. when i pulled it out, the disk was warped and the pressure plate was cracked from the heat. thankfully it did not shatter. the fidanza was heat scorched but holding up amazingly well.
so when it goes back in after the car gets repainted (just a few more weeks tops) i'll be using the same fidanza with a new friction disk, a 6 puck ACT clutch with their HD pressure plate (one step up from stock pressure) backed by a stock E153 transmission with camry 3.625 final drive, new synchros and a quaife diff.
the lightweight flywheel allows the engine to rev from idle to red-line under a second, the exhaust ramp up note when doing that will make any car guy soil themselves.
