Well i have been working on the tune and getting the meth consumption under control.

I bought a new set of leaf springs for my flip kit. I got new mounts for the assasin bars and FINALLY found some stock hangers.... I replaced all the bushings with new Poly bushings. I had to re-drill the middle leaf spring so i could slide back the middle leaf back 2 inches so the front mount of the assasin bars fit... I will post up some pics shortly...

If you lift a head that pushlok hose could pop off on your coolant crossover lines.

Yea...I spent 20 minutes and 2 cutting discs just cutting off a few inches. When drilling hard metal use moderate pressure, very slow, and lots of oil. Cobalt bits are really nice for this.

When I drilled the holes for my bars I had to use a carbide bit( got it from grainger) and spray oil on it just to keep it cool. I used a cut off wheel on a grinder to trim the springs.
