Shiloh, what's you rev limit? I raised mine from 5280 to 5400 afraid to go any higher, plus the power band is basically dead by there anyway. I'll get a video of my 0-60 soon.

I'm not sure what the rev limiter is set at, whatever it is stock. I don't have a tuner yet. Anyone notice my freakin loud *** intake? lol

I gotta post a vid of mine sounds like a giant vacuum cleaner at high rpm's. I made up my own for the sound. Got some pipe and a cone filter and stuck it in the old square box with the top off.

i reccomend the 1.7 if you have not got them yet along with the fastman they both help with the low end grunt , i would open up the exhaust like the y-pipe needs to go its a botle neck, get some longtubes

Once again does anyone have a link to the 1.7 rr's? I like the idea but money is tight right now so it will be a while. I plan on after the level kit doing some exhaust work and see where that gets me.

THE POWER OF GOOGLE! lol Well I found em on Summit but DAYUM $350! Those are gonna be a ways down the road, not like I make my money racing anyway.

edit: I feel retarded asking but what do the different rockers do differently with the motor? Does it time the valves differently or open them farther?

check out that thread i posted evreyone talkes about what they do


i noticed alot more throttle responce, just any speed your at you put your foot down and just notice that it want to jump ...i dont plan doing a cam so i took the cheaper route and its worth it ... you will also notice the truck will sound alot beefier it sounds as there is a small cam in

if i have my cutout open , people at red light ask me if i got a cam lol

its simple too install also southwest sells for like 275 there light weight and cause less friction

whats southwest? guessing a performance comp? also non-adjustable 1.7's fit under the stock valve covers right?
