1. Take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt.. When somebody says its just not possible.. sometimes it is.. sometimes it isn't. This has been proven time and time again.

2. Respect other peoples cars, no matter what they drive if they have brains enough to respect you.

Peace,
Josh

1) Researching stuff in this tech page has helped me make some excellent choices on parts, and the gains have been more than I would have expected because of it.

2) Personal goals are the #1 thing that you should aim to meet. Trying to beat every guy on the block... well... just isn't gonna happen. This board has taught me to set a goal for myself, and try to meet that, rather than just try to have the fastest car in town.

Two things I learned:

1) Drag Racing has a lot to do with the driver's skill and getting your car to hook.

2) My 10-bolt might or might not go kaboom at any given time.

1 - Tuning with a STOCK MAF is the way to go, less headaches.

2 - When you have low oil pressure after a oil pump/cam install, your O-ring is probably the problem.

1. Before you start any modifications on your car, you should have a plan to finish the car.

2. It's not the components that matter, it's the package

1.) I have learned alot about cars in general. Cams, gears, and so forth.

2.) Making these cars fast and durable is expensive.
