There is not 1 cam for every engine. I just talk to each customer and figure out a cam that will work best for what they are wanting the car to do.

Currently looking at dumping the truck and getting into an M3. Yes... I miss this car the most. I still think whether getting rid of it was the right thing to do. Oh well, I just keep reminding myself that one day Ill own another Formula WS6 one day.

LOL! I was going to get it but the cig lighter doesnt work anyways and the new heater core was only 34 bucks. Easy fix. If people on the net didnt make it seem impossible to get at I would have done a week ago.

Those are some great results out of this build. I just glanced through the thread.

so the 12 bolt is 43.2lbs heavier then the 10 bolt?

what is the lightest (strong) rear end option?

you know us low HP guys scrouging for every ounce

Midwest Chassis and Performance Fab 9 inch. Fabricated housing with tons of options. Price starts at $2650 shipped with a CM torque arm. Look in the gears section. They are a sponsor.

My car is stock height and staying that way. Its a good deal on the TDs(Larry is hooking it up so I can always take them off. One reason I really want them is for the LTXshoot rules, Ill need all the power I can get out it, and meet the rules. Not to mention how Bad *** its gonna sound!
