For sure guys, I know your focused on your build, and answering question when you can, no worries. You also have a PM when you get a chance, relating to tuning after I do my upgrades listed in one of my threads. Thanks again. Stellar project, and great write up.

Will do.

Yeah I knew the BR Race FMIC was the way to go. Just trying to figure out these cams now. I think the BF272's only go on the 8's, correct me if I'm wrong.

Yea, you right about that. I know that you can get the GSC S2's for the IX though. Just make sure if you do the dual springs (which I recommend) that you also get the smaller diameter valve stem seals. As the dual springs pulled my stock seals off and eventually took my motor down.

It worked out, I got a built short block and a ported and polished head only to lose my job once the car came out of the shop and then sold her in Jan and now the guy that bought it is selling it but I cant purchase it back right now.

And no problem on the help, anything for a mellontuning guy.

I would not put cams on a stock turbo car, unless your goin for all out kill mode.

Not on a 9 anyway.
