For those following along, the T5 swap is done. The heater core was also replaced at the same time. I managed to get the car back on the rollers before leaving Phoenix, and it put down 235rwhp, 277rwtq. Still seems low for the build to me, but this is still through a stock air-box, stock belt-driven components, and some crap stock-cats. I say they're crap, because the car didn't pass emissions prior to the re-tune (which was the motivation for the tune). I'll have to get a replacement mid-pipe with cats on it to pass emissions and hopefully there-after I'll get a MAC pro-chamber, or bassani x-pipe. I'm also looking to get an electric fan with a 130amp 3G alternator mod. I'm hoping the combination free's up some power.
The 4.10's free fine with the t5, I was a bit worried at first that 1st and 2nd gear would be useless, but that's not the case. The motor has a decent power band, and we set the rev-limiter (in the tune) to 6,400rpm. She spins up nice and quick right now.
