Only if youre slow.....I did Lightning in 3rd/4500+rpm during my paced laps on 195/60/15's still needed to shift to 4th, 3500-3800in 4th was much better, if you drove that slow in a hotlap situation youll get plowed in the ass, and youd be wasting youre money.

how about leaving the stock valves, using the zzp 78# springs and getting that one guy.. whoever it is around here to port your head for $500~ or so. hell he was able to get better flow with the stock valves than my shop could get with oversized.

**** a bunch of $2600 on a head lol

oh.. and u should definitely buy a phenolic spacer for the intake "because it works well on a completely different application"

Outside the box , maybe. But outside the budget definitely

Also a proper racing seat is gonna make the car more of a hassle to live with.

I am obviously all for proper equiptment, but the seat is honestly gonna reduce the livability of your car day to day, by the same degree it improves it track ability.

Carbon is great but its silly to waste money on that when you dont even have stainless brake lines, or (my guess) any personal safety gear.

well if we knew what your mods are 3000 is a lot of money i think putting it in heads is retarded if you dont have a fully built motor you could build it to handle anything for 3000 prolly 1500 in parts and the other in install if you cant yourself. ported heads wont sell for much when you decide to move on.
