Thanks whitefish for being the only person to directly answer my question like I asked <P>Well this board's been up long enough, so I guess basically most everbody's questions should be already answered then right? We shouldn't be able to post new topics, since our questions probally have been answered before.

just to add my personal opinion

Also, I'll add that using the Millenia-type curved ZE manifold would be best, as the MX-6 ZE manifold will come in contact with the brake resivoir. Unless you're RHD, like this guy [KLZE Presso owner]:<BR>

Those sites are a guideline. It's not an instructional video, cause you're only going to really <B>GET IT</B> when you're under the car eating coolant cause you forgot to drain the system. Some things like bracing your breaker bar against the passenger's axle and cranking the engine to remove the crank pulley are good tips that I can share, but as far as general questions like "how much can i boost a kzle cauZe i hErd that thAt iT haD to0 mUck CompresioN" etc show that no research has been done on it, as somebody can search on the web [as I have done] and find great articles like <A HREF="http://www.motorsportsdigest.com/forced2.htm" TARGET=_blank>this one</A> on compression versus boost.<P>When someone comes to me with a question that shows they've thought about it a bit, done some research, and they still don't know, 95% of the time I'll answer them with what I know of what they need the day I get the email. Too bad all the people I've helped over the years aren't very active on this board. Just takes a couple of bad apples to spoil the bunch, I suppose. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]
