make sure you get it dynoed soon... if your car was like mine.. I dont know if it would be since you got shorty headers... but when i got mine dynoed. My car was running at 16.5:1 AFR it was bad, and that was with an SCT flash tune made by americanmuscle.com... Mabye the tuner didnt know what the hell he was doing or it was just my car.. But anyways the tuner brought it down to 13:1 and i gained 10rwhp and 15rwtq. and fuel economy...

worth the money..i think so, the sound in unbeliveable, the video doesnt do it justice, who ever said stage1s sound like crap is just an idiot, and even untuned the car simply hauls *** in the upper end, what a difference,no port and polish..yet ill get to that in the summer, not enough funds for it at the time, and yeah im gonna go to XX for tuning, they seem to be the best from what i hear

just cams is cheap, if you do stage 1s you dont need to do the springs..however i opted to do so, and the whole job ran me 2047.88 exactly cams and valve springs, machine down the heads all that good stuff

Why did you mill down the heads? Also I did the springs also, comp cams recommended it for any cams that had .550" lift, which all three 3stages have... So whats your static compression ration now? Any clue?

my machine guy said its better shave a ****hair off so you dont have to worry about anything when it goes back together no problems, VT says that their stage 1s dont require new valve springs and would be fine with the stockers, but like i said i did them anyway, and im not sure what compression would have been bumped too, but i know he didnt take a lot off at all so
