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.
