Suggestions...
 
Heads and cams came in a couple of days ago. I think Im going to install them myself but not for sure yet. The guy who installing the heads is dropping the engine out of the car so he can do it faster. Any other mods I can do while the engine is out of the car?

Also is there a write up on how to install cams outside of the car?

Go to that link I posted in the sticky I made. Youll be able to figure out what you need and what you dont.

I just got prothane, they are just as good as energy suspension and 40 dollars cheaper, good motor mounts make a big differenece, i baught them from summit for 100

Whats the point in changing the mounts?

mega dittos on that question... why bother unless your stockers are destroyed?

03gt... you can install my headers for me. It's always been a PITA for me.

Better motor mounts Eliminate engine twist in chassis and Transmits more power to the ground. Frees up HP. Since the motor is out and its only $100 then i dont see why not

Headers are in the pain in the ass even with access to a lift, pnumatic tools, engine hoists, and all that other expensive stuff. I dont see in any way how they are a halfway decent install. My mechanic and I did mine at my work which is a dealership and we have access to all that and it took 7 hours from pulling in to pulling out.

Polyurethane is stiffer than rubber so it will reduce the amount the engine twists from torque. Plus, usually the aftermarket mounts are much stronger and last longer since unlike rubber, polyurethane isn't sensistive to UV, chemicals, etc.
