Do what you want I guess. I just do not want to see a car with a lot of money under the hood go to the *******.

you do what you gotta do but your leaving a lot of safety/power on the table by half assing it...if your going to spend all the money one the heads/cam/spray, why not fork out the cash to make it run like it should?

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend going out and hitting a 150 shot on it the first time. I say get good @ pulling the plugs & checking them out and start with a small shot & go up.

It is not just about safety, it is about getting the most potential of your car.

Why did you modify your car in the first place? To get more potential out of it.

^^^ yay high-powered LT1's in the Iowa section!

You better get some tires Mike if you plan on spraying on the street! Put some MT drag radials on the back, you are not going to break your rearend on the street.
