nothing wrong with it, but don't expect to fly at mid-high speeds.

oh yah, and it should also spool very fast!

Definetly fast spool up. Fun to drive (Around town). Weak top end. If you want to beat V8s badly, you gotta get a T3/T4 at least.

those AR numbers are pretty small, I assume from a Volvo or Saab? Prolly a 45 or 50 trim too, which is small on a T3. If you are looking to save money, get urself a T3 with .60 comp, .63 turbine, and 60 trim wheel from a 85-87 Ford Thunderbird TurboCoupe (5 speed manual ONLY).

Then, if its still too small for you, u can either auction the thing off on ebay, or have it made into a T3/T4

It will work but there are much better sizes for your car. T4/T3 would be more ideal, better response and more horsepower. In this case bigger is better no matter what your girlfriend tells you!
