I drive my car whenever the weather permits here in Wy. I still get 30 mpg on the highway and it has no ill manners on the street. (ie. no surging). When at the drag strip or auto cross it has tire melting power all day.

Just call and talk to anyone at LG. They are great to deal with.

Love my EnglandGreen Whiplash cam. I think now he goes by Gulf Coast Performance. Cam would be the best choice IMHO. Do not forget the Parts For Sale section here. You can get parts at a discount, which helps the budget alot.

I would def agree with the other posts that a cam would be your best choice for a next mod (mabye even just gears as a second choice). I just did one on a tight budget as well but make sure you upgrade the springs and port the oil pump at least. This obviously adds to the cost but you are risking a lot by going with a 'bigger' cam and not upgrading accordingly. If that means holding off for a few months, which is almost impossible i know, it is the best thing to do. Good luck
