3. ummm..... 'lambo doors' are you freaking kidding me?!
the pros of that...
1. the motor would respond rather well to stupid 'small' mods.
2. great gas mileage. (considering a z06 gets high 20's in 6th gear..i know its not the same trans..)
3. torque...need i say more?!
Updates on the truck..
We just ordered my last cam gear today. Which wont be in until early next week.
All the cam gears are off of my motor, BY HAND DIDNT EVEN STRIP THE HEADS off of them. plastics will be in tomorrow. Need to either send the UP and DP out to crucial, or just wrap them in insulation. Then check the valves.
If anyone needs a 4EAT let me know, I have one. 80k miles on it.
thats about it for now.

the truck CGM or some other sort of silver.
primer is fun though. All the door dinging F*Tards. Or better yet, my doors and tail gate just got shaved. And all the stock 80's OEM vinyl all over the car
primer all over car > spotty primer.
