Ok Fella's. I (think) have just bought the last part for my '08 setup. My current mods are in my profile. The parts i have in my room waiting to go on the car are: MHI 16g,750ccFIC's,dual image stage 3 keydiver,devilsown water injection,timing belt, tensioner, OEM mitsu head gasket and some ARP's. I may have forgot a few minor things, but those are the main components. My question is im wanting to max out that 16g, but i was wandering if i could benefit from some minor headwork since i will be pulling the head anyway for maintnance.I have also been cotemplating getting some revised lifters and some evo beehives. Any one using them?

Also my compression across the board is 162psi on all cylinders. Should i be concerned beings that im getting ready to throw some power in this thing. I know that normal is about 180psi.

Thanks in advance for any help!;)
 
Well if you're just itching to buy more stuff and there's some money that's burning a hole in your pocket, you could look into a set of cams. You may also want to consider getting some port work done.
 
I wish there was money burning a hole in my pocket. It has taken me since last september to aquire these parts. I hope this setup knocks my socks off. Atleast till i get used to it. Which i hope will be a while:thumb:

Could i really benefit from cams at this point? I have bigger plans for the car down the road. I was thinkin of getting cams whenever im ready to run a holset. Whats your guys opinion?
 
Cams will definately give you a good shot of power, but it all depends on what the car is used for.
 
Pretty much DD, but i plan on frequent maintnance. I have a tendency to run the piss out of things.Also the occaisional track day;)
