Nice pick bro! Two thumbs up! That and the heads you'll gain a good jump in power! But you'll loose a lil in boost.... Non matter though! The power gain will more then make it up!

He wont really be losing boost he'll just be using it more efficiently and that will show less manifold pressure.

Also, I WANNA SEE SOME #!!! or a 1/4 mile pass

Indeed. I know how you feel. No use in rushing to install and tune when you're just going to end up needing another tune. That's the only minus once you start really doing work to the car. I have a P-51 sitting here as a foot rest (seriously propping my feet up), an accufab TB staring at me with a sadface, and I'm waiting for my spec clutch/flywheel to come in, and still won't be worth tuning since I'm saving for cams and P&P heads built lower end as well...Might as well wait and kill a flock of birds with one really wide stone.

Don't even know why I bother with this hobby. It's a serious addiction.

+1 not a hobby, it is an addiction.

I told myself I was going to quit modding when I got my GT because I wasn't making much progress with my v6....

Now I tell myself If I had got a cobra I would just have stopped after basic bolt-on.... But I'm sure that's a lie but I just don't know it yet.

What's sad is I've already decided to sell this car next year. If I hadn't lost a cylinder I would have already sold it. But it's not worth a dime broken and stock with a power adder it's still not worth crap so, I'll finish it off and swat her on her *** and send her to a new home. I want to either build a classic again or maybe something a little different.
