What's the benefit of getting the gaskets and roller rockers?

 

You aren't going ot need retainers unless the ones you'[ve got are really worn and or broken. Retainers are pretty much a waste of money.

 

your gonna need the gaskets, whenever you take the head off you really should replace the gasket. The roller rockers are stronger and better for the cam.

 

Has anyone ever got an Ultra Performance Bottom end rebuild kit or the top end kit?

 

I am planning on getting the top-end kit this winter and the bottom end kit when I do the turbo this spring.

 

Wow lots of people around here are turbo'in next year.

 

Cause there is no replacement for displacement.



If I had the JackRabbit Motorsports picture you'd understand.

 

I know there isn't. I plan on it at some point too. Just probably not next year. Buildup time next year.

 

Do engine mounts really increase performance mainly in acceleration? Are they worth it?

 

Yes, they do. They eliminate quite a bit of engine movement which translates into lost torque. With performance mounts it transfers the energy that would've been lost to the engine moving in the bay under load to the wheels.

New mounts will help out a lot.
