So your motor went cuz u didnt put arp rod bolts and u where revvin the **** out of to get all the power out of the cam right? I am also looking into this cam, but i really dont want to go through the hassle of doing rod bolts...

pretty much raised the limiter to 6800... went 10 k... just do it then get a tubular k member and swap the bolts then

If you don't mind flycutting you could always go with the PRC 5.3 2.5's and have them milled down to 59cc. Awesome combo with the MS4.

Need a big stall, gears, Poly motor mounts, Poly trans mounts LCAs, relo brackets, poly rear sway bushings, some serious tuning. That doesn't include cam swap parts.
Heads as mentionned 243 stage 1 if no flycut

What is the purpose of your car and what do you wish to achieve?
