Default Just spent my tax return!

Well, the car seemed to be more in need than the woman...
Not to mention been giving me more pleasure lately lol (kidding!)

1. Got a set of "new" used dark grey leather seats for it, the white is in terrible condition.
2. TSP Torquer v2 cam
3. Set of 918's
4. Chromoly pushrods

Now I just need to get the timing chain kit, gasket kit, and an oil pump and it'll be ready to go in March 12th or so!

The best way to spend your tax return is to modify your toy congrats...

i run 918's on my torquer v2

These are hydraulic lifters which suck up a lil bit of lift.

Do not worry about running these springs, these are probably the most popular springs for the LS platform on the market.

MY tax return-Getting ready to buy some new PRC 5.3 Stage 2.5 heads from TSP, my car should def. be "rolling out" after the installation.

Torquer v2 cam is awesome, I love it cause of its killer power band.
