    tensioner q's

    The belt should stretch alittle, but the squealing you hear is the pulley bearing. I would replace the tensioner.

    New Suspension left side lower than right?

    Were the control arms replaced? Tightening the contol arms bolts when the suspension is not under load (weight of the vehicle) can cause this.

    Did I do the valve cover breather right?

    I would get rid of the breather and stick with the PCV. The breather is just a vent, the PCV system has a small about of vacuum that evacuates the pressure in the crake case.

    Install of spherical bushings?

    I believe he's talking about the housing bushings. I have allways used a little heat and an impact (air) hammer to get them out.

    If you want to run a breather you need to block off the PCV.

    Ball Joints going bad...how do you know?

    Sometimes when doing it by hand they won't move, I recommend once you have the tire off the ground, place a prybar under the tire and lift (you don't have give it alot of force). I replace them if there is more than 1/16" movement.

    ANY INFO ON TRI STATE HEADS?

    IMO, at that price you are getting junk for the valve train. I recommend Thumper: http://www.thumperoforangepark.com/

    clearance question

    You should allways clay the piston to check for PTV. Even if someone has/had the same parts, this does'nt count for differences in factory machining, deck height, gasket quench, and how the cam is timed.

    Engine acts like it hits a rev limiter at 5k rpm?!?

    Stock pushrod length with new rockers and valves? Did you measure for length? Valve train geometry could be way off. And you didn't say anything about valve springs. You didn't use the old stock ones did you?

    High speed stability

    Toe does help center the wheels, but caster is what primarily centers the wheels. Stock suspension in fox's have very limited to no adjustment for caster and camber, this is why caster camber plates sell like hot cakes.

    Low battery Voltage/CCA and or poor cables and grounds can cause this problem. The solenoid is arcing and welding itself inside the housing.

    $2500 for a turbo and install? I would find out what kind of parts this guy is using first. That price is cheap, too cheap.
