Wow I so feel the difference with these over stock! It sounds great, looks good and pulls considerably harder above 3000 so stoked

no kidding in retrospect, so far I think it was worth it. It's like an investment, you put effort or capital into it once and it pays off for a long time if it were something else where I had to continuously maintain then maybe not

Yeah I definately feel it was worth it. It took me forever tho like seriously like 15 hours cummulative because I got stuck on a couple spots but if I was doing it again I could, like said above by some, do it in around 7 to 8 in a driveway with no lift.

On that note, I'll keep the Felrpos I accidentally ordered with my bbks not noticing that it came with gaskets - (I shoulda just used the felpros but I had figured on returning them, oh well)


I'm going to make my own "fire boots" for the plug wires that touch the headers using furnace insulation that we sell at Ace.
