nice ride man, looking real good. only thing i'm not really feelin is the tails . . i did that back in the day too but it looks to flat to me know. stock tails or red/clear is the way to go for the clean look IMO.
also u should get that vafc tunned so u can use that to control the fuel instead of that FMU. dont worry about the short gears, they wont make big of a difference once u start boosting more. i have a type r tranny and i blow through 1st and 2nd real quick but then a shitload of power still comes out of 3rd and 4th. my buddies is almost exactly the same on his LS tranny
