No good to just buy something and chuck it in (I mean the plazmaman is a good cooler but still will only get you so far)Dont forget...if you push decent boost through it to make bigger power...your ba will more likely than not need valve springs too + injectore + tune...how far you gonna go?

The extra coin I spent on getting the tunes and parts that now sit in the garage would have me a built bottom end right now.The power bug keeps on biting most ppl Im def. a sucker for it.
