it also has some suspension work as UPR complete frontend kit. But the coil overs are setup for road racing spring rate. Probably around 75 pounds off the front end.

the only thing im missing from your mod list is the heads, long tubes, and spacer.. i have everything you've mentioned and mine has the diablo tune... so if your running those times im DEFINATELY gonna do the PI swap after i gear it..

im gonna buy some 4.10's within the next two weeks and then 2-3 weeks after that im gonna buy the heads..

how do you like those cams?

the cams have a nice sound at idle, really comes on strong after 3000-3500. Needs to be tuned as at idle it seems to run rich but I believe its due to the overlap on the cams.

the guy that owned the car before me did it. Just unshrouded under the valve area and cleaned up the ports a little. No flow numbers.

doesn't the PI swap cost alot of money? im not real familiar with 4.6s but i thought the intake, heads, valvecovers, brackets etc had to be changed. pricewise wouldnt it be about the same for a used blower?
