I'll keep my eyes open for cams on LR and the corral.

Thanks. Leaning toward CMS/Bullet stage 2s. I sent them an email to make sure they shouldn't have any PTV clearance issues, but I think they'll work OK. I've seen a few other guys running them. I would probably still be interested in some Comp Cams XE262AH's for the right price though.

I don't *think* you'll have PTV issues, but I'm pretty certain you'll need to beef up the valve springs.

I got an email back from them today. The clearance is fine with the stage 2s, and stage 2.5s will work with modified valves and no modifications to the pistons. May look into what it'd cost to do the valves too.

Friday evening Nathan and I start tearing into the GT. We worked until after 1 am, slept a few hours, got back up at 6 am, and started again. Now installed:

MM Panhard Bar
MM Rear Lower Control Arms
Rear springs
Bilstein shocks
MM front coil over conversion with Bilstein shocks and Hypercoil springs
MM Caster/Camber Plates

Still a pile of parts left to install, but I'm beat. The car drives dramatically different, and I can't wait to get the rest of it finished.

MM Full Length SFCs and Torque Arm installed this week. The ride is stiff, but manageable. Getting the front end aligned and daily driving it like this for a little while, but I've still got several more things sitting in the garage.

Yeah, not bad considering the knuckle head I let work on it.

Very nice! I'm sure it feels like a totally different car!
