CamS, plural because you have a DOHC motor, are a complete and utter waste of money in your situation. The cheapest I've ever seen 4.6 4V cams was right at 1000 bucks, on sale. That 1000 is much better put towards new rods/pistons, which coincidentally VT Engines has on sale for 1000 bucks right now. Tim Palmer went mid 8's on stock 4.6 4V heads and cams, they really are unnecisary untill you ATLEAST have a good shortblock in there.

They do amazing work, I have 3 friends running their motors. They have a sale on, 1000 bucks for new pistons/rods, and I think they charge around 400 to assemble your motor if you want.

Silver,

Nice car, mate. I could see the back coming up a bit, but the front look perfect.

Normally I would say that I need to raise the back, but durring that trip, my car had a full trunk. We was prepared for a extended drive.

Full tank, the Mach 1000 system. A full size spare. A small floor jack. 2 lawn chairs, 2 small bags of tools, spare serpintine belt, tire repair kit, air pump. cloths for 2 for a week, wash bucket with car soap, chammy, sponge, and wash mit, emergency road side kit, fire extingushier & tripod. ALL IN THE TRUNK! In the cabin, two sets of shoes and a small blanket and a small cooler.
