welcome you got a sweet ride there. you may want to take the rockers out as they are hurting you more than helping. just do a search you will find what I mean.

When I do the heads Im probably going to a jesel setup and manley springs. i bought the car from a customer of my parents with the cranes. Ive seen problems when installed incorrectly or when trying to run with stock spring and or pushrods especially when stepping up the ratio to 1.8's. this 1.7 setup showed an 8 hp gain plus 4ft/lb gain and nowhere did they drop below stock numbers.thats not much for the money but the added strength over stock is. its like anything else incorrect setup or combination hurts power. thats my experience with that kiinda thing. I appreciate the welcome from everybody
