-Titanium retainers would be a good thing,not only for performance but for valvetrain life expectancy.
-Lonewolf S1 cams would do nicely(Wallace says about 50 HP)
-FWD adjustable cam sprockets
-large plentum intake
BTW:what are you running for a HG? Cometic and studs I hope right???

mark ...
ever run ur car ??? (if so what did it run / put down)
im pretty much planning on running the same set up !!!

well...
lets say it was my first time at the drag strip with a manual car...
2.8sec 60'
had a problem shifting into 4th (arm quicker than left foot) and had to fiddle with it for like 1-2 seconds because i did it twice each run jamming it into 4th
trapped 97mph at like 14.9
it might be a solid 13 second car easilly if driven correctly. my gtp's best is like 14.2 and this car feels much faster than my gtp.
I only made 2 track runs, and both results were similar. bad launch, dork shifts into 4th... after that I just parked it and went and watched the races.
after i get the trimcal and the .63 housing on, There is a dyno like 2 miles from my house i am going to. I'm not expecting much.
