I trust SFR's fabrication work, I would not go to another vendor for exhaust work in particular. Expecially when I am on the right side on the globe.

How about the lower end? Rod bearings? Don't do a cam and high rpms with tired block.

While you are at it, might as well mill the head to
increase compression to 9:1. That would help offset
some of the low end torque that you're going to loose
by changing the cam.

J chen,
How much would you have to mill to get to 9:1? I milled fifty thousands and from what I'm told, I'm about 8.4:1 compression ratio. I don't think you can go much more can you?
I voted cam, since its biggest power gain and its something I'd like to see results on. Exhaust would be my second choice.

tconn,
can you show me photos of where you mounted your AMW catch can on a late style car. I have mine sitting around and I'd like to install it but can't find room.
