Oh well, its not like I'm in a hurry to get this done anyhow. The gf is coming in a few weeks and staying for the summer so this will be on hold until she leaves. I'll just watch her wash my car to keep my busy, lol

stock dx trans is going to be a really weird tranny under tons of boost, really long gears, will be fun to hear how you like it...
installing the obx lsd, well, its not easy! its as far into the tranny as you can go, under the final drive... your going to have to get 2 new differential bearings pressed on the obx lsd before you even start and your going to have to get your speedo gear pressed off the stocker and put back on your obx lsd, the obx has a much smaller ridge for the speedo gear than the stock one so i dont know if a custom speedo gear is needed or if you can just use the stock gear, i had major problems with this part of my install, i didnt have the dif bearings and i would of had to order them, so i had to install it back to stock after HOURS of labor..
and another thing, be careful when tearing the trans down, there are a bunch of little ball bearings behind screws and springs and they like to fall out and roll under stuff. i popped off my tranny cover and almost fainted, its a VERY scary place to be without knowledge of teh area 
p.s. i wish my gf would wash my car
