Got my ARP main studs and ACL Race Bearings in hand. Still working through the little details on the exact rods/pistons I'm going to get with Real St. Very knowledgeable and helpful group of folks when it comes to the 2JZ. Glad they are helping me to make sure I end up with the best bang for the buck setup for my goals.

Also, got the transmission in. So this is the new Collins A340 adapter kit. I also got his new transmission mount and ditched the old version. Routed some Power Steering line for the new PS reservoir. Good thing I got my helper cracking the whip. He loves his hoes!

Very cool! On the compression note, I would go lower compression and compensate with boost. It's safer for a street car and more forgiving with variation on climate conditions, fuel quality, etc... My evo is 9.0 to 1, no complaints on spool, drivability or power, and it's got around 20k miles at 770hp with no issues to date.
