Some people cant afford to change their plugs pre-maturely and disseminating information that isn’t true is just plain ignorant. IF there is a practical reason for doing something then great, I was trying to ascertain that fact on the relocation kit.. You think because you can afford an fbody it means you can just **** money away? LMAO!! Any money saved is money earned, not my fault if you like to waste resources, just don’t call it necessary cause its not, its just pissing money away because you can, big ******* deal. This topic was dead until your late lame *** jumped back in and started again.
And no your not in my world.
You didn't get dragged back in, you were in it the whole time. This is an open forum and there are no rules stating that when a topic goes dead that you have to leave it there. I've seen posts get drug up that were months old because someone shot their mouth off before thinking about the consequences. That is why it is important to think about what you're typing before you let your emotions get the better of you. If you continue to argue and run down respected members of this section with rude name calling, you will be ignored by all. It's one thing to be "preachy" or give opinions, but it's something entirely different when you start the name calling and personal attacks. It's entirely uncalled for and it won't be tolerated for long. IMO I think someone deserves an appology but that's your call I guess.

If you care to take some friendly advice, relax, chill out a bit and don't take things so personally. Try to take a different perspective before posting. You have to remember that most of these guys you are interacting with have been on this section for a long time (years). Then you come on here with your opinions that come accross as if it has to be done your way or no way, then it's going to ruffle a few feathers and they are not going to just stand back and let it happen.

Just my .02

I just sent 3 pics of the valve covers & coil relocation packs to Josh to have him post them for me. I can't shrink pics from my digi cam down small enough & the video cam pics are crap. So hopefully in a short time you will see the fruits of my latest labor. Let me know what you think....

Thanks! I was worried about the temps too Bobby. But last night I felt mine & compared them to Ricks that are mounted all stock after we drove for 10 miles & they felt just a little cooler. Maybe the headers put off more heat than the radiator?

And it doesn't like much like an LS1 anymore, huh Chris? Which is kinda what I was after. I wanted an old school, dart motor look. Pretty close IMO. BUt like you said, what a major PITA those valve covers are!!! I think I will have to pull the pass side to change plugs. So from that perspective, having to remove the coil packs is easy.

Why thank you! I can hook you up with the sponsor if you are interested in buying a set.

I will post more pics when I get my coil packs mounted with the covers I have in mind.

Yhea they do look good, saw them at the race last week. He will have to do something at the shows for crowd control.

Now all we have to do is mount up a nitrous system, and then stand by.
