Then start looking for a back up tranny as its a Mitsubishi.I love those things but they are hard to find.Another good plan would involve a LS1,big T4 and Ford 9".

Re: Mitsubishi starion
actually im going to provide a little bit of input.
the first major thing you should do is rpelace the jet vilve head for one that doesnt use jet valves. replacing the valves or cancling them out does nothing since its the casting thats the problem. once you change the head, you need to start looking at fieling. fueling will be your biggest ocncern as your only runing a dpfi setup. some people dont worry about this and simply make 300 hp and call it a day. i for one would like to have mpfi, so get a manifold made up. other than that, the aitrflow meter is iffy,. but dont worry about it. the thing is, those blocks are amazingly stout, and dont be surised iof you make more torque than hp. i once had a buddy with a "flat sided" starion that made like 250 whp and like 340 some whp tq. it was insane. o well. fix those problems and you will have a nice street machine. also keep everythiong on the body ntact, no bodykits. also their intercoolers are pretty dang good, so an intercooler upgrade isnt really necessary untill you go really insane with the boost.
