Nothing Supertech valvetrain won't do. Don't really see the need for new valves, even if they are Ti. Don't get me wrong, nice parts, but worth the money when you can just up the boost to make up for the lighter stuff?

Valvetrain, main studs, head gasket, headwork, and cryo freezing (which should only take a few days). Its EXTREMELY close. I grow more excited by the day. When ever I think about my car, all I say is FUUUUCCCK!!!! So sick of driving the 1.9L saturn, unlike hondas its both torqueless AND powerless

Once my car is back, its going to be even more torturous. 400+ hp, and can't use it for like 1500 miles (break in period). I'm setting the rev limiter to 4500, and limiting boost to like 50%.

Ok new update. Not a performance mod this time (earthquakes began, wars broke out, ect.), but my friends with 240 SX's convinced me to do something with the LOOKS of the engine. So today the valve cover, blower, and intake manifold got painted. Valve cover and blower got wrinkle finish black, and the manifold got a low gloss black. Looks pretty awesome, heres the valve cover. It is T3H 5EX!!!
