yea its got the arp rod bolts. im usin a skunk 2 manifold. i dont have money for the springs/retainers and i dont really have any intention of spinnin the motor past 8200 or 8300. im a poor college kid n this is my daily beater n i have to drive it from usf to land o lakes everyday. i just want a lil more punch. also, i was wondering if just usin a type r intake cam would make a difference. i kno it sounds wierd but i saw somewhere that there wasnt much difference in hp between the type r intake cam/gsr exhaust cam combo n usin both type r cams. i think it said it was only about 1 hp difference. i dont remember where i saw it tho. anyone had any experience with this???
