Hang in there John. You have way more patience than I would ever have, but you are going to have a great car when all is said and done. I remember the first time I saw my car in person, it was so surreal. So are you back in Phoenix yet?

Tin,
Congrats on your build! This is the time period that can be stressful, believe me I know I currently own my 3rd SPF.
I agree with the Avons for your car. I have had different brands of tires on other SPFs, and found these to have a much superior grip in all aspects. The other posts above about getting the power to the ground are correct. In the past I could 360, or roast the tires at will, with a much smaller motor than you have.
On the Roush vs Kieth Craft issue I have other thoughts.
My build Great Asp's Superformance - FE Build is similar to yours. The Roush selection is easy, especially if you have ever been to Roush's facility (I have 3 times), or seen their marketing. I selected Kieth Craft as he could build exactly what I wanted, even using the components I wanted. I really loved the personal side of my build at Kieth's place. Two different ways of marketing. I'm sure your 511 will serve you well, and I hope it does. 
Keep posting the pics and toss in a dyno vid (pleeeeeaaaasssseeeeee)

GA, thanks for the words of encouragement, I know Avons are in my future and will make the switch after I have had some quality time driving on the Mickey T's,. I will be in transit back to China tomorrow and will post several of the pictures of the install that I took when in California.
Regarding the dyno test results I would dealy love to upload the specs and the video of the engine being put thru its paces at Roush, its awesome, the sound is unbelieveable but I do not have a clue on how to upload a large MB base file to the Club Cobra, is there anyone out there that can advise me? Remember I do not have access to You Tube in China since it banned by the Sphincter Police so that cannot be part of the solution.
GA if you send me your regular email address via PM I can send the video to you........
Cheers, John, AKA tin-man

Just passin' thru and will be China bound tomorrow. I'll be back within a couple of months to get my car and get it registered here in Phoenix at which time we'll do the lunch I promised the Arizona Club members. Hope to see you at that time.
