Re: Performance Tips?

What's the rest of the exhaust look like?
You've replaced the valve springs right?
How's the air cleaner? Cold air intake, wide open 360* style?
What's in the rear end of the vehicle? Gears/posi?
Does the car run perfectly well, ie no bogs, sags, fuel problems?
What's in the suspension?
How does the car take off, pure tire smoke, wheel hop, etc?
Sub frame connectors yet?
