What about the air pump, the egr system, the stock air silencer/donkey dong on the intake, the stock air box with all its baffles, this is just a few I thought of even though most are not super important like something such as fuel. But just because a factory designed it dosent always mean something to me. Time and research is what matters to me. The car has been out way longer that the amount of time it took to design all of it. Lots of time for changes/improvments and finding out you dont need certain things anymore. Brad

And yes, this leads to HUGE amounts of fuel because it's a large leak from the pressurized rails...

I had holes in my o rings....thats why I leaked fuel. The injectors didnt move at all much less pop out. Drove the car today and guess what. Injectors didnt even move...even though they can be pushed up and down a decent amount. I thought hotcam springs would be pretty nice springs for my b body cam with 1.6's but oh well. I dont care what anyone views me as. I just come here for help and try my best to help others.
Oh and I didnt actaully cross the plug wires. They were already in my wire looms and I just plugged them up. The car hasent run in 3 years because someone built a motor for it and it spun a bearing the first day and he set up the plug wires.
