Given my cars current setup, anyone think of anything cheap that I can do to increase performance? I know cams are a logical step but thats pushing another 1k or so.


Any ideas welcome! Thanks

So some exciting updates.....


the block is being shipped on Monday the 6th, I have a new timing belt tensioner coming as well as a replacement headstud for ther one that rounded off when being removed. 


I also have a dyno tune appointment arranged with Junior at P&L motorsports. Although I will have Ron make me up a break in tune as his services were excellent last time.


I also spent $100 on other goodies, oil filter, assembly lube, sealant, heat wrap sealant, new plugs etc.

Getting excited now to be honest, the chance to get a dyno with Junior and have the car put down its true potential will be great.


Lets hope we make 350whp!

haha my garage is full of crap right now!


Well UPS still didnt deliver my one headstud and I am still waiting for my oil pump so my brother and I assembled as much as possible without being able to attach one of the heads.


Pics as promised, even though they are crappy!
