    How thick of a head gasket will drop 1/2 point?

You could gain across the board by getting them cleaned and opened up little and not los the quench by installing a taller/thicker...

    Pan hard bar assist with lateral load and thats just the kind of load you will be battling. If you stiffen chassis and add lift assist like an anti roll bar you rear end being a four link setup will still want to track laterally given one tire hooks up better then another which your car will...

    You should always degree the cam on install unless its bone stock rebuild (even then it wont hurt) valve events are crucial and if cam is ground for certain event timings and its not installed correctly then its worthless and you might as well not have performance cam.
