    How much pedal play do you all have after Disc Swap?

    no it engages the MC right away, it just doesn't firm up until after 3 inches. I have fairly new brake lines but they are the cheap ones without the plsati reinforcement rings that come factory. I might buy those and try them out. Or stainless lines. I have no other idea. I mihght block...

    Removing burnt oil from header?

    NO NO NO, BE extrememly careful cleaning coated headers DUDE, if you use laquer thinner or any other harsh chem, it will remove the oil and the coating. This is worse than leaving the oil on it. Call the MFG of the coating. They state only soap and water, not any cleaner that is basic...

    Let us know NY Eric when you get those 05 wheels on. My new SVO is white so I am not sure if I want white wheels like the 89 Saleen or Chrome, but I know I don't want painted grey wheels. Hey, you guys should post some of your SVO's here with aftermarket wheels.

    Did you loose power taking it out (or busting it out). Some guy with an 84 SVO told me the back pressure reduction made his turbo lag big time and made it slower. What do you think?
