OP, don't waste your money. stock is fine. If you want them, buy my ARP studs. I decided not use them, based on the reasons Warrtalon listed here.

actually no you dont. There not "cam over bucket" like Toyotas and Nissans etc. There have hydraulic lifters the rockers ride upon.

and that is what you should do, as the people that do the 1X1 are cutting a corner that is gonna bite them in the *** later. you of all people done need me to tell you that


however, standard arps are more than enough. but some people only want the very best and would purchase the L19s over standard and that is fine. but i need proof that the standards are inadequate before i buy the L19s.

With the Green you might want to grab a set. I started pushing coolant with the Green @ 29psi.

What do injectors have to do with headstuds? What do headstuds have to do with a camshaft upgrade? This thread is nutty!
