so your k20a3 motor blew up and you have and want to swap a k24a2 w/ 6speed LSD tranny and a JRSC? dude you have the makings for exactly what you are looking for. that combo right there is a nice 300+whp reliable daily drive-able animal.

If youre looking for more of a track care I would put some focus into your suspension and tires. The engine setup sounds beasty but there is no point if you cant put it down and utilize it. Good luck with build, post pics

Sounds like a good start. But definently need suspension if you want to track it very much. I tried to call you. If you need help let me know.
