Get your car tuned and let me know how the Spec 5 drives.

I have a spec 5 with an unsprung hub...mine does great not too grabby at all. I'm sure you are still battling your tune or maybe its because I don't remember the last time i had a stock clutch...

yep open headers, CMS is pretty damn busy so the exhaust won't be built until next week. Don't know what his problems were from but I personally setup the valvetrain for the cam I'm running so I know it will work. Didn't have any geometry problems as the 210s are an l98 style head. Running .35 quench with about 12.5 compression, DCR is about 9:1 so I'm not worried about detonation either. Good piston to valve clearance as well. I think his valvespring weren't sufficient, and he got detonation from those thick *** headgaskets. Maybe he was babying it and didn't get a good ring seal either? I drove the **** out of this thing on its first drive and it ran like a champ up to 6k
