      But it looks like you've found the right path.

      Go with the Blueprint ultralight rods and a set of typeR pistons with an extra thick ceramic coating on top. Most drivers do not have the patience for forged pistons, they turn the key and start driving right away. If you try that with forged pistons you will wear them out very quickly and score the cylinder walls, forged pistons must be close to operating temps before you start hammering on the engine.

      Thats exactly why I sit in my driveway for 5 minutes before taking off. People think I'm retarded or my car is broken.

      Not retarded at all very very smart in my opinion. I always get my car up to operating temperatures before heading out on my way. It is always smart to get that oil heated up and circulating properly before driving anything. So I guess 9whp is pretty good off just the intake manifold. So was that fifth gear that I saw in your video going 140

      Ok damn, who would have thought that newer factory cams and really a factory motor would pull so damn hard. Great job on that man, this would be the perfect build for me living in california with the smog regulations and such. How much do you think I could get the a2 for? Do you have the 4.3 final drive as well.
