New heads and intake here also, along with a new distributor and crank trigger. Swapping the stock lower control arms with a set of tubular control arms. Hopefully find out in a couple weeks if it picks up any.

You say tubular...Are they moly or mild steal I learned the hard way about 15yrs ago when I bought the Global west "tubular" arms thinking I was going to save weight....yeah I sure did I saved a total of 4lbs on the uppers and zero with the lowers.yep they were mild steal.....BUT the added caster they provided sure made the car noticeably easier to drive......now my TRZ MOLY upper and lower a-arms that I run now took a full 30lbs off the front of the car......the kicker was the global west a-arms were quiet abit more expensive than the TRZ moly a-arms


And fwiw those global west a-arms wound up being yet another gift to my dad for his green. 69

They are the Global West ones. They aren't light for sure. I figured I would bend up the light weight ones when it comes down hard from a wheelie.

I haven't bent my TRZ arms yet. Quite a few bumper dragging wheel stands with smashed oil pans and heads, arms are still like new.

They are standard port SD 340/350 E-heads. I bought the package from GTO (Eric Vogl). They should be a little better than the ones I had on there. Not a lot, but a little better.
