hmmm.... i have HKS 272/272 cams on the car for 40k miles, stock springs and stock headstuds. oh, and i'm running at 35r at 29psi with meth, approx 500whp according to DDL. stock block, stock ecu, and did i mention stock headstuds?

Springs and Retainers- rev higher

Headstuds - keep the head secure, stock headstuds DANGER to lift head

ECU - better tuning ability
