Thanks guys! Just a little detail to help set my car off a little. And let me know how fast I'm going when I'm really standing on it :shock:

Even if my car were capable of going 200 mph, I don't think I would want to try it :lol:

rally car & ragtop = bad combination which means not FIA approved. Nevertheless nice car with nice touches overall.

I got some new Titanium retainers and keepers from Crane that will give me another 0.120" of installed height and let me run LS-1 springs. So now I have several high quality springs I can choose from that will give me about 170 pounds seat pressure and about 430 pounds open. I wont have enough tip length to run lash caps anymore, so I may need to have my valve tips hardened. Should be a bullet-proof setup when its done though.
