Message	plus, you will be upgrading fuel delivery, so chalk up another $1k plus on top of the headwork, cams, springs and what not. It's a $5k mod if you are starting from scratch to bounce up from 530's to 700's, to even start to do it right. That's just my opinion of course, but it's pretty much based on experience. Right about now I'm sincerely doubting I made the right choice for entirely other reasons :( ____________________________________________________ 1991 Aztec Red TT bought new in '91 Way back then, added JWT chip, ignition advance, Pop charger, Stainless 3pc Borla cat back; 17 in.
