Just to get an idea of what i'm running

redtop740cc topfeedsgt2871rle @ 14psilarge fmic

safc controlled with z32 maf dynoing 340

and some other mods, big intake and equal flow headers, anybody had problems with busted rocker arms besides over-revving? Its mainly a commute/drift car so it doesn't get up there in the rpms too often

its a cheap mod, i'm just a lazy man and don't like to remove the head =O

thanks

uhhhh... since when did you need to remove the head to installa RAS?

Pop the VC off, loosen cam cap bolts, install, tighten

Literally takes me 30 mins.

I didn't know it would be that easy, and they are cheap

i guess it would be healthy to have them in place, i'll go ahead and spring for em

and yes, valve cover, not head

I'm not going to jinx myself by saying "I've bounced off my rev limiter (8200..Mines ECU) numerous times without damaging anything and not having GRAS"......Remember, I didn't say that........I'll be putting them in over the winter so yeah.....do it now.

which sr do you have?

if you have an s14 you have to take some of the meat of of one of the baffels on the valve cover for it to clear the RAS. its not very hard, but adds a bit of time.
