From a fellow CRX'er I love the cluster. Kind of funny to see your pictures because ALL of my rear interior is in my garage because I have been too lazy to put it all back in.

I should take a picture of the car with the interior all back in (minus a shift boot that matt has so graciously procured from the junkyard for me).

But it's not just the engine, the tranny final drive also makes a difference. But you have that covered also. It would be nice to know what FE gain you got from the tranny before swapping the head. That way I would have some idea what a tranny swap is worth, or what to expect when I get my CX tranny.

I'll be done with the swap in another week or two, and you can get all the resutls you want!

I know it's also the tranny, but we're going to quote them as working in tandem and pretend like I never had an auto.

Anyway, I can't tell you anything about just the tranny, since the auto is so much different and the gearing is closer to a 4 speed STD tranny than a 5 speed DX tranny.

You'll just have to wait and see what you get, dan, so suck it up.
