Default got a 3500 lb paper weight

I blew a spark plug out of the passenger side head so the car is going into storage a month early.

Hey man that sucks, but you definately dont want vt stage twos, get their blower cams, (this may be what you are talking about, as they call their blower cams stage 2's) but dont get the N/A cams. Definately port the heads while you have it apart, theres no sense in pulling it all, to not make it better...lol.

Yeah, it's like an exhaust leak from hell!

I plan to do a bit of porting on the heads, mostly I'll smooth them out. I don't want to mess them up though.

I'll be getting blower cams. I need to pay other things off first though.

I prefer the saying:

"when life hands you lemons, screw it, make your car a chit ton faster"

I'll get cams for it and port the heads somewhat. Just don't have the money or time to do it before I would have stored it anyway
