On the F-cam I am not sure about clearance issues, but you wouldnt see much power gain untill you upgraded the heads. Oh, and they make a cooler kit for the SN series that fits into the dipstick hole with a little radiator to cool the ATF that seemed to help for me.

They proably have something like that or would know how to get it. Im assuming that is the place that rebuilt your SN-92 unless you found a turbo shop or someplace that would do it.<br /> One more thing- all three of the units Ive had leaked ATF into the discharge tube- even after a rebuild! Check periodicly your plastic discharge tube for wetness from ATF blowby. They all do it.
