Well my CR tranny went out this weekend. On the upside it kept me from entering the state of Oklahoma but on the downside it means I am in the market for a new tranny. I like the CR 5spd but it just seems to be missing something on the low end. I am running it with a 3.70 rear end and while gas mileage good in first it's somewhat of a pig. My current setup is as follows: Block: Fresh F54 with High pressure/volume oil pump 1mm HKS Headgasket Cooling: 4 Row Radiator 76.5 Thermo (the 82 was to hot for Texas) Intake: CAI Port-matched & Polished Intake Manifold New AFM Headwork: Polished & swirled valves (not sure if it helped but hey they were the same price as the stock) 5 angle valve job Comp Valve Springs Schneider Cam .480 lift 274 dur Drivetrain: Lightweight flywheel Centerforce II clutch Aluminium Driveshaft 5spd(FS5C71B) other option is F4W71B 3.7 R200 rearend (NOS BABY ) Tire size 225/ 50 16 I know changing out the rear would produce better results for getting power to the ground but with the current setup does anybody have any other ideas for trannys? I wouldn't be opposed to trying a different gearing but money is somewhat short right now so going to full custom tranny is not an option.

You know I must be a moron. I've been looking at wheels for so long I didn't even pay attention to the fact they were 5 spoke wheels. Those are some awesome wheels. I might have to bite the bullet and do the 5 lug swap.

Does anyone know of a 4lug wheel that is similar to Cragar Series 61 or the American Racing Torq-Thrust wheels? I'm sure I could have them made but hey I ain't that rich. Also has anyone purchased the MSA 17x7 Flashbacks? I'm somewhat against 17's on a S30 but its starting to look like my only choices are 15 or 17. I'm starting to hate this 4 lug 0 offset crap.

I've done the suspension already only thing left on it is the strut tower braces and possible 15" or 16" wheels. I've done the Toyota 4x4 brakes. Would varible spark ingition help that much if I left the fuel management stock?

Before I get flamed I did a search and couldn't seem to find an answer for what I was looking for. I just did my N42/F54 swap and was wondering what plugs work best with this setup. I currently have NGK ZFR6F-11. Is there a better one to run? Also I have some money (approx. $600) left over from my swap that is burning a hole in my pocket. Is there anything I missed that may help get the most power out of this motor. Here is my engine setup: Block: Stock F54 with High pressure/volume oil pump 1mm HKS Headgasket Cooling: 4 Row Radiator 76.5 Thermo (the 82 was to hot for Texas) Intake: CAI Port-matched & Polished Intake Manifold New AFM Headwork: Polished & swirled valves (not sure if it helped but hey they were the same price as the stock) 5 angle valve job Comp Valve Springs Schneider Cam .480 lift 274 dur Drivetrain: Lightweight flywheel Centerforce II clutch Aluminium Driveshaft 5spd(FS5C71B) other option is F4W71B 3.7 R200 rearend (NOS BABY ) Ignition & Electrical: Stock 76 Dizzy <--- will upgrading this really help?
