Default Winter Mods Jan 24

I guess it's not really a mod party since it will be mostly my car but a few friends and I will be getting together on the 24th and 25th at my house in Haymarket, VA to do:

Pull the heads and replace the lifters (current ones getting noisy)
Dewitts rad and oil cooler (laying that down)
Change out the air intake stuff to run a 100mm MAF and 4 inch tube setup instead of the airbridge.
Corbeau A4 seats
PFADT tranny brace

So far Chip (Willfulone), Jack (JACKS996) is flying in from Texas, McLeod are coming by to help. All are welcome. A good time will be had by all.

A couple of the Caddy Racing lifters got a little noisy. It's not hurting anything but some people have had issues with them with aggressive cams. My cam is fairly short on duration but is .660 lift with BIG springs.
