    Basic upgrade list

    no prob. right now i'm still deciding on the head. i don't think anything special is needed at that power level. i wouldn't mind bc 264's and some porting, but i've been told it's not necessary.

    Serious problem during assembly.. I am screwed?

    just get a roll of gasket material and make your own. you'll always have extra. any parts store will have it.

    aem v1 tuning questions...

    from everything the tuner has said, we're running out of fuel. the stock coils should be good at this power level. we're going to see how many volts are actually getting to the pump when the motor goes back in.
