I say work through the issues and make it a reliable DD. I've always told people to keep it simple and always always put maintenance over modding. 2.3+35R is wicked awesome but the can of worms that can come with it can be a nightmare, which you are in right now. Stock motor + stock frame turbo and a little octane (E85 or alky) can make killer power and be a lot more reliable, but it still can be a nightmare if you aren't careful.

Can't wait to see the new numbers!
I wish I would have gotten the other one I was looking at.
