what are you doing to the engine? I see the parts you got but im just curious.
im swapping out the old CSFI spider injectors for the new MPFI Delphi setup, I gotta take one valve cover off to do the install so I Figured I get some roller rockers and a couple guys here (tscherbi and 98slv) suggest I pick up the 1.6 Scorpion roller rockers, so I grabbed those.
In a previous thread, michael hurd posted a link to a nice article explaining the differences between CSFI and MPFI also shows some install photos, its a pretty quick read...

bluex1 turned me on to the Vmax 1" spacer, I also did a bunch of research on the VMAX 1" manifold spacer. Some people say it will Improve power, others say its a waste, One guy on FSC said it was the only thing he swapped out and he went to the track before and after and said he picked up 3/10 of a second, He also claimed a very noticeable improvement in power ( I know there could be alot of variables involved) any ways, I figured what the hell, in my mind with all the spider injectors inside the manifold, a 1" inch spacer for the whole upper manifold is going to increase the cubic area in the plenum by a descent amount giving more air flow. and its cheaper then a marine intake. Which from what I have read, is unnecessary for the modifications I have now or coming up in the near future.
Its all getting installed at once so I guess ill never know where the improvements came from. im good with it.
I also got all the Felpro Gaskets good valve cover gaskets and a good quality lower Intake Manifold gasket that was recommended by skylark in another thread.
After all this, I have been searching craigslist on the daily and other websites for a used or unwanted set of Doug Thorley headers so far no luck, after that I was gonna read up on tunes ive lightly read it takes a little work to get a good tune, after I have some knowledge, get her tuned and then leave the motor alone until she hits 200k.
Meanwhile Looking for headers, I've been in contact with sampuppy1 who is going to help me out and set me up with LED'S for the interior, and Hid's for the headlights.
Also looking for some used 18" Z71 wheels to put on with some new tires, so I got plans coming up for her.
