 Subject: Still More Mod's To Go...
IP: Logged
Message:
I had a post earlier about what modifications I should do next and the biggest responce I got was Nitrous. But I definatly do not want to do that. I dont want to decrease the life of my engine what-so-ever. I need to get atleast 200,000 out of it. I've been reading a lot about roller rockers and cam's. What exactly are the functions of these two things and would either be a good addition to my list? If not... what would you suggest?
Thanks!
