so this forum was down when I started all of the install but wanted to take some time to catch everyone up on this site since a fair amount of folks asked me to post progress... keep in mind the trans is installed inverted with a custom Chevy bellhousing but the S4 comes standard upright with the Porsche bellhousing.
it would be nice if this forum allowed more than one pic per post as it takes a long time to upload progress pix one at a time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Started off with installing the Kennedy Stage 2 dual 8" disk clutch - good for 550 ft-lbs of torque (at sea level racing I make 438 ft-lbs so should be plenty). The flywheel is 10" diameter overall and the custom pilot bearing installed in the Chevy crank  |

Using slightly more compression and limiting the image size to 800x600 will cut your file size by 5x. Your copy of the attached image was 250k. Mine is 50k. The board software limits the image to 800 anyway (unless people click for the bigger version), so for most users the extra large image isn't necessary.
