Oh well.... Just looking at options...

As they say horsepower helps on the straights, but weight reduction helps EVERYWHERE...

Thanks guys.

Sorry, should have made that a little more specific. Yes, the 16v distributor runs off the camshaft, the 8v off the balance shaft, and the diesel just runs.
on the diesels it drives the vacuum pump + oil pump.
If you can't beat them, drop the top and pimp by 'em!
