    is it necessary to run a thermostat in-line with an oil cooler setup?

    Well no it's NOT really, as I stated in the post the hose I'm using ISN'T designed for pushlock hose and WILL blow off when it's hot so the clamps prevent that, they're not Constant tension (spring clamps) they're a lock type band clamp.

    Why must I sometimes put R154 in 1st gear to get into reverse?

    Ummm if the cluster is rotating when you try to engage reverse you could have dremelled hello kitty shapes on the teeth and it's still going to clash ;) Not many people here would have heard of non syncro crash boxes let alone driven them, you have no idea just how good modern boxes are :D

    How is the plastic lid inside the glovebox going to fit with the ECU hanging down? (You CAN mount it so it all goes back in) Take the ECU off the bracket and radius? This is how I did mine and it all looked stock when you opened the glovebox.

    So no glovebox with that mounting? Be nicer if you radiused the square corners on brackets Adam.

    Group A Head

    And there's an important distinction, I build fast road cars (hence my post in the Cam's thread) NOT race cars with number plates. I try to make improvements across the board so the car can be driven daily and never misbehave no matter what I do with it, last 7m was making 500+rwhp and still...

    How much HP will i gain with cams?

    . Open up the Lobe centres and you don't lose as much bottom end as you're making out and still get good midrange punch, my 280's idled like a kitten and drove very well.

    Why must I sometimes put R154 in 1st gear to get into reverse?

    WTF are you on about "round off teeth"? OP: If you have a worn box or badly adjusted clutch the input shaft can drag a little (thick cold Oil will do this also) turning the cluster gear which will make reverse clash on engagement, pushing the shift toward a forward gear stalls the cluster...

    How much HP will i gain with cams?

    I did say "on the street"..... How often in daily driving do you run an engine to redline and max boost? Midrange punch is what you feel on the street and any improvement will make the car "feel" faster. People get far too caught up in hige dyno numbers when the reality is 95% of them...

    How much HP will i gain with cams?

    Mid range "should" be much stronger though so it will feel faster on the street just not on the dyno.

    Google Muppet, End gaps are very important and worth taking the time to get right, too much and you'll have blow by not enough and you'll close up a gap at high boost and trash that cylinder.
