The rear out of an 02SS with 4.10s is still made of glass. And it is highly debated on whether or not strut tower braces actually do ANYTHING, but it is agreed that they do NOTHING but add weight to the front of the car in a drag car.

Was that a typo on the exhaust valve sizing?

Assuming you have the stock crank with that hardware spinning to 6500 is plenty safe.

I have doubts about that cam with the wide LSA. What's that about?

I'll debate with you...lol...it does indeed stiffen up the front end quite a bit; especially if you have lowering springs, big aftermarket swaybars, and subframe connectors (basically a car built to handle and pull over 1 g on a skidpad). I could immediately tell a difference; why do you think the new Mustangs and ZL1 come with one from the factory?

Granted, it has no place on a drag car along with most of the handling mods.

Its just not an optimum NA cam. Huge duration split and real wide LSA.

For nitrous I wouldn't worry about a special grind unless you are spraying a big shot...
