im cool with the guys there too...the older guy with the grey beard knows me when i come in. But i know they have a policy to go by, and i didnt want to put them in a bind...

i jsut need to figure out where im going to do my heads at...my car is in NN at my apt, and i dont know if the hobby shop on base will let me do the swap there (they didnt want us to do a clutch bc it mightve taken too long), so im not sure where im going to do it at.

Chrs how long have the springs that are on your old heads been on there?? Miles?? Id say since your taking them off id have them checked out to make sure there fine and that way ya know if there getting week. Are they single springs?? if they are thats a must..... cause ya breaka a spring on a single and its dropped valve bye bye motor.

There really isn't much difference between 853's and 241's if you compare them side by side. You can make good power with both, you just need to pick a cam and intake that maximize the head flow.

Patriot Gold Doubles are probably the cheapest you'll find. Speed Inc. has them for a good price and free shipping!! The kit comes with all the hardware. I recommend you going with a custom grind cam if you don't mind waiting for it to be machined. That way you get exactly the cam you want for your combination of parts. keep us posted on what you decide man.

Droppin names huh Darren?? LOL, Its all good, just like I told Phil and everyone else thats come out to the shop. I do everything I can to get us hooked up out there. The older guy (Rudd's his name) doesnt mind normally, if he's not working after he leaves there... he works at home depot until all hours some nights...

-glad more guys are taking advantage of it though, come while I'm there and I can normally help out. I'm done in Nov though guys... just FYI

Glad to see you got up there safely Phil. keep us updated on the "scenery" . 22 mpg is pretty damn good. Good luck with everything that your doing up there man. keep in touch.

Hey guys, are there any install centers that you would recommend in the area? I know there is Virginia Speed and another one off Indian River (I forget the name). I was looking at having exhaust work done for now (headers and Y pipe). Thanks.

You can do all of that your self with hand tools and a floor jack.
