    I did an ebay long runner header,
    Megan Y
    HKS Dragger II
    SRT Intake
    AEM TruTime Cam Gear
    Aluminum Pulleys

    Hotchkis Sways
    Tein S Techs
    Tokico Illumina Struts

    among other less significant things.

    a lot of people say you can make 8 whp if its set right (i believe its -4 retard for us GE guys) but i didnt notice that much of a gain. maybe a LITTLE more low end torque. it was just sitting in my garage so we threw it on.

    Pictures aren't that great (lose the angles), but that car is very nice looking. Later, QD.

    No problem.

    But I didn't say anything being a pro. I'd tell the "pros" the same thing, lolol. Later, QD.
