yeah, that i assumed... and if i end up dropping the 3.0 in and trying to get that to rev high, then i will probably do all 3, but if i decide to just go with the 2.5, then i'd likely do the new damper and accusump until something breaks, then use that as an excuse to get billet rods, redo the bearings, etc. basically build the crap out of it...
of course, none of this will be in the immediate future, i've got to get out from under my bills first... heh.
and i'll have to do some more research on the 3.0 as well, but you've all given me tons of useful information.
