Default Hey guys

I'm in Iraq now and will be home around the end of December. I'm looking to do some work to my 01 Z28 A4. I'd like to pick your brains online and hook up with you guys when I make it back home to Shreveport.
Thanks, Matt

I thought about putting one of those jap engines in my truck and then I thought how stupid it would be to see this big 67 chevy sound like a pissed off bubble bee.

Mine has been at 6800rpms for 4+ years now it wouldnt go any higher then that unless u have a ls6 block. Thats all rod bolts can handle safe. I think b4 i had the cam,pushrods,valve springs. with just a few bolt ons it was set at 6500rpms

Im running the VRX4 with the new TSP ORY into a Jegs catback. Sounds good in my opinion considering it's half of what you'd spend on a name brand catback.

I also spin mine to 6800rpms but I've upgraded my rod bolts also.
