Just to give you guys and gals a bit of an update...
After taking her all apart and testing the cylinder head, it turned out that the aluminum got wrapped pretty bad when the car overheated. So, instead of having the old head rebuilt, I decided to buy a new one. The new one is a Stage II head, meaning it has a 5 angle valve job and some nice port and polish done to it. This head should flow much better and should give me some nice gains, especially combined with the new chip I just got and the raised boost.
The new head shipped out last monday... so, a week ago as of tomorrow. hopefully I'll get it in soon and can start putting it all back together. Being car less in this area really sucks. I can't get anywhere, nor do much of anything.
