Thanks, not looking to forward to it after doing the plugs. Got to number 8 from under neath when the trans was out for the clutch. Looks like it might not be too bad tho with the coils out of the way. Still debating which cam to go with (like so many of us). But I will be sure to post pics when I do it. Sometime in the next month or so...

Yep, I'm up in the NW burbs - Algonquin. I know the area you're talking about tho and if I'm in town, I'm on call Sunday, I'll try to break away from here and swing by.

Spent a lot of time on 83 up in Addison - 'Bout 25 years ago

Splat - The MS4 is exactly what I am thinking about doing. Still have the stock heads on it tho and I hear the T rex works well with those. Just like the power band of the MS4 a little more. Just need to make a decision and go with it. Wicked? Kinda, not much to look at tho but I'll try and get some pics up tonight...
