But certainly I have the power to stop it with no booster. I stood on it REALLY hard when it hit the 'shelf' half way down. So hard in fact I worried I'd brake the pedal arm. It did nothing to stand harder on it.

Sound fantastic.

Only thing is I've seen guys put much bigger cams in their 5th gens and not skip a beat. I'll test it all for sure. Starting with the easiest.

Bitch about it is I only have one day a week to really fool with it.


I really have to give you props for sticking with that car over the years and all the work you have put into it. I used to have that passion or some say compulsion for working on cars. Now I just buy what others have produced and I don' t get nearly as attached to them.
