Actually, for me it isn't that simple. I make up my mind exactly what I want to do, but then the sensible side of me tells me that I really don't need all that. It really wouldn't be so bad if I wouldn't buy all the stuff and then change my mind.
Good God man, you still doing that? Hell, I'm still doing it. Hows it goin' bub?

Hey John! I don't see you on here much man. I was beginning to think you were just using me for my exhaust. How did that work out for you anyway? I'm no longer in VA. I moved back home to Ohio. It's cold and it sucks!

Yep, I'm still doing that. It's pathetic, isn't it?

Good to hear from you.

I guess this is $.03
WKMCD, How much torque did that set up make? Was that thru stock heads?

Thanks~

If you want to enjoy it on a daily basis put the blower on it and maybe the heads and leave the cam stock and get a solid tune

If you want to dread driving the car on anything but weekends for spirited jaunts go h/c/i N/A.
