Coilovers are on now. Ordering some 60mm wheel studs for my 5-lug. And maybe buying new wheels next week. I had a rocker arm explode even with the stoppers and the two shims are lost somewhere inside my motor... :(

I found them in my lower oil pan along with chunks of my rocker arm. They down look real scarred up so i dont think they raped anything on the way down. Got the car back together and putting it on the dyno this saturday on 19psi.

Sounds nice and healthy.

What are you using for tuning? Any video of it driving?

Keep up the good work ;)
