I wanna redyno with more stock parts. I bet I can get those numbers up quite a bit.

Bad? Why? These SHO Bros cams are just slightly hotter SVT cams, they use the stock valve springs. Once they're ground, they could be in the car in no time.

I do agree with your assessment, though I don't think I've "ruined" it to the same extend he did, there's no roll-cage in mine.

I could put a 2.5L or even a non-built 3L in there and call it a day if I wanted and it'd be all good.

The D2's . . . I never had a single problem with them in the maybe 1000 miles I had on them before the engine went kaboom. I think you going with the crazy aggressive spring rates is hurting you there. I dunno, maybe my way of thinking is a little different, but I expected the ride to be kinda harsh, and unless the roads are crappy, its really not.

just cause theres a cage in it doesnt mean its ruined. i got used to it real quick when i had to drive it every day. the camber is race prepped now so it not really good to drive all the time

Not in your eyes, nor mine, but my car would be much, much easier to return to stock-ish form than yours.

that is very true. but even my grandma got in and out of the car with a busted hand
