Screw that, too much sugar for a dime on that one. But if I had them off, I would go ahead and do it, if even he doesn't do anything but remove the egr bumps from the exh ports. Think of it this way. Sometimes we get things built up in our nasal cavities. Think about how small some of these things are when you get them pulled out and how much easier it is to breathe through your nose.

I ran a stock cam, stock intake, stock TB, ported and decked heads with 1.7RR with other bolt ons(electric fan, full exhaust, no smog, underdrives) 3.73 gears on street tires I ran a 13.7, on DR's I ran a 13.5. With ported intake and 65mm TB I ran a 13.3 on DR's and now with the typhoon intake I ran a 13.2, everything else the same.

When budget is king, details, details, details. I have just under 250 RWH before the new intake, but with the minor mods I have, that is almost 60 more RWH than stock.

IMO, if you have the time and no money, pull it apart and play with it...it is the only way you will learn. Will you be satisfied? Maybe, but it will payoff when you watch those tenths fall off your quarter mile....that is what hot rodding is all about, not just ordering parts and bolting them on.
