    Engine Lifespan..?

    if it is built properly and tuned properly it should not just last a short time. there is a human error in that part that prolly is not admitted.

    new clutch slipping

    thats what i was taking about(so i tought i was typing- agreeing with you.) but a flywheel can only take so much machining. my flywheel is about done if i ever go threw another clutch as i would guess that its about 2-3 finger nails thick( wish i measured it) and even my machinist said holy...

    new clutch slipping

    the pressure plate mount location to clutch surface on the flywheel has direct action on how the clutch will hold.(if you can get that-my brain is losing my thoughts as i type sorry). think of it this way: the more you machine of the clutch surface the less tension you have from the pressure...

    Engine Lifespan..?

    ^yes and no. kinda completely depends on the owner/driver and how well it was taken care of or how much it was beat on. what you said tho has a lot to do with it.

    Wondering about lights

    sylvania silverstar's are a great up grade. i use hid's so they dont compare but they are a great upgrade over stock.

    Boost Creep - No Boost Leaks

    i have a 57trim and have no creep.. well a lil in the sorta high rpms(high for me) like 4500-5k but it only creeps like 1-2 psi. this is on a stock gauge tho but it has never gone past 8.(i have 1 washer on). and before the washer i only hit 8 a couple of times when it was like 35*f out.

    Car Dies When...

    take a piece of the hard piping and get a flange welded on and and stick it in with the stock piping. stock piping isn't that restrictive for stock power. the exhaust is a huge restriction.

    new clutch slipping

    your fine. when i replaced my clutch+ tranny had the fly machined and boy is that sucker worn out. the clutch surface is just barley above the mounting surface. no probs witha 57 trim at 7-8 psi so far with about maybe 5k miles( i dont race or red line). that was with stock disc and a reman pp.

    Cams

    heads are the same. exhaust cams are the same. intake cams are different. using the shims in the same location might work but best bet would be to check the clearances. for the cps you need to rotate it slightly counter clockwise and then it will slip in as its not straight tooth gears.
