the heads are being done over due to a broken spring. also switching to a super vic/4150 setup while it's down. it seems like i spend more time wrenching on the gto than driving it

Advanced induction heads and camshaft, full bolt on's, subframe connectors, torque arm and a tick level 3 t56. 12 bolt will come asap but right now it was more important to send out the heads.

I just dropped the k member to inspect the motor due to a oil pressure problem. I will be most likely doing new heads, Cam and possibly a clutch. One of my pistons shows the valve hit it so I am going to switch the cam out to something that wont have this problem. Glad it didnt make a mess when it hit !!!

I think I'm gonna splurge this year; go for an air freshener. I'm thinking one of those ones that look like a little tree. Maybe a nice aromatic vanilla scent. That would liven it up a bit inside. I wonder if they make any that add horsepower.

If you go with vanilla make sure you upgrade your fuel pump and injectors. Coconut should be ok on the stock fuel system.
