Very interesting. I had to go back and look at my build list from a few years ago to remember if I ever replaced the toe rods or not. Which I now realize I didn’t. I put in a set of Pfadt trailing...

I assume you have stock internals except for cam? I would think you will be getting pretty close to the limit if you push it to 12psi. It certainly could work with a great tune. How long is...

If you wanted to pick just one single mod that will give you the most power…I would think it would be to just add a cam. Plus that’s fairly easily reversible back to stock if needed. These motors...

Thanks for the input guys. I definitely need cradle bushings. Will probably go with the poly ones. After watching that video…I’m convinced my cradle is deflating heavily under big pulls.

2016-2018 hood vents work on Gen 5?
