I just ordered my new set of pushrods. My mechanic said mine were bad, so I am replacing them with the racing ones. They were a bit more $$$, but he said they would be worth it. He said I should look in to a new head gasket too.

I thought they added a grounding wire kit but then I heard they were swapping out for roller rockers on the valvetrain.

Don't forget the kevlar timing belt to hadle the extra stress. My mechanic replaced with mine with one and I have had no problems.

The best way to have more Hp is to add a bigger and heavier connecting rod !!!! That worth it

With the variable valve lift they will have to change the cam profiles, won't they?
