Can't wait to see the results with a tublar manifold. I love my FP race manifold

Ya I want to add more preload to the WG, but its such a ***** to get to the damn heatshield off :-(

I pretty much always have a bottle of that in the car, especially on road trips in case I get a sh!tty tank of 91. In town or on trips to So Cal, I just stay on E85. Nothing like a high HP car to shorten a road trip....

And you absolutely do not have to move the radiator to remove, install, or adjust the WGA.

**edit unless you installed a larger radiator. Then maybe.

I will post honest results, Although I'm going to be tuning the car on speed density this time around so I'm not sure how much that will cloud the difference. Hopefully not much.

Why not just unbolt the WGA then adjust it?
