Besides Abacus, what are some places you guys have had good experiences with? Looking into a possible high compression NA, and I have no desire to work on this car anymore myself.

If I killed myself...How would I "let" you do anything? How about I "let" you pay for someone to build it, I drive it for a day, then kill myself being happy

sorry for your misconception of our abilities.

I'd recomend:

.5mm overbore stock SOHC KA24E pistons
stock rods
ported head
jwt S1 cams
custom millennium header


setup will yeild 11:1 on stock hg thickness and about 180-200rwhp.
