That heartbeat to your car sounds really nice reddozen. Thats honestly one of the nicest sounding idles I've heard out of an 8, and that wasn't even in person. I was definately going to get an access port down the road when I finally go FI, but if it gets me to pass e-checks Ill suck it up and buy it.
I would not be doing the engine pull myself, as I have no lift and never have done one b4 so I would have to go to a rebuilder. In such a case, what all should I be looking to get to get a good 100k+ miles out of an engine (later with FI). I was thinking heavier rotors, better seals, and a port. |

cant get heavier rotors, nor would you want them. "better seals" is kinda relative... you could get ceramic seals, but you'll have low compression at low RPM. I would highly recommend having your rotors and eshaft balanced, and keeping your RPMs under 8500 RPM. There's really no power to be had over 8k RPMs.
