Don't know. At least now I can pull the old parts off and get the news ones put on. Going to get my injectors to so that when the motor goes togather all I'll have to do is nitrous stuff. I really want to pull the heads off and at least do new head gaskets and studs. I'd also like to know what the heads flow as well and see if they can't be touched up alittle more. If I do the heads then I'm going to need to get 4 jack stands and a jack from harbor freight. That way I can get it off the ground to do the headers and mounts. Plus, pull the a/c stuff while it's there. Thinking about doing the truck coils and relocating them while I'm at it. That way I can do the Chevy valve covers.

I went out there for literally 15 minutes. I just chilled with some of my import buddies. I heard there were a few cars out there, but I didn't stay long enough to see anything special.

Just made it down to Barksdale yesterday afternoon. The 9 hour drive wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The car scene here is crazy, lol. I haven't really been anywhere yet but I've seen some pretty bad cars driving around. I still have to move my stuff down here so I should be back in Columbus in about a week or two though.

How's the car coming along Sheik?

Hey Karl I thought that it was a one of a kind car, that is what the car dealer told me and that it had 500 hp under the hood.... lmao
Well the first time I saw it I thought that someone was driving off with my car, then I noticed that the car had no window tint, so my heart start beating again...

I still need to do the brakes on my car. I might do them this week.

Wein, if you could get brake lines I would. They make for a firmer pedal and will get rid of the pulsating pedal as well.
