Its either that or a Kirk Racing roll bar which is i think around 450-500. I heard it doesnt protrude into the passenger seat area as much as the autopower. But...that BR harness bar wont affect seating at all which is nice. I dont know if it would matter in my car since my seats dont recline anyway and are fairly slim
Got the 2 mixed up, kirk takes up more passenger seat room, but only good thing about kirk is its bolt in, while autopower is weld BUT autopower makes a rollbar with removable cross member so no space is taken up for the passenger seat (kinda wish i spent a little more and got that now since i use my z as daily and parts hauler). Yeah had the same dilemma M6 about the harness bars so spent an extra $100-200 for the autopower over the sparco bar.

Why u need it photochopped? Just tell them what u want and show them where to paintback. Just seem like a bunch of extra work.

shopped cause there is only ONE CHANCE to paint it black... if they mess it up then the car is in the shop longer or they say... well you should have provided a better pic with more detail. would like to avoid the possibility of getting something i dont want

if you do cams do you have to do Valve Springs and Retainers also or can you just get away with Cams?
also, on average how much should the install cost. I found a set that says OEM valve springs are fine so i guess that answers my first question

http://www.enjukuracing.com/brian-cr...de-p-7396.html

what are the power gains on cams after a proper tune?

and yes... don't go cheap on something that could possibly save your life one day.

cusco roll cage is just for show... ask any of the track guys, they know. cusco roll cage looks good. but is not approved for racing and stuff. mostly for looks... and it does look fukking good.

no no... did i have a typo?? if you have harness... you should having a roll bar.

cams?? wtf? just get a built engine while you're at it... wait.. just buy a 370... all your problems will be solved in one shot.

haha cams are $1,100.... built engine is $10,000... big difference lolz... i remember how much of a difference cams made with my honda so i bet the gains with the VQ would be pretty decent as well

labor is going to run up the cost... might as well built everything else. save up more money... i mean hell... why open up the motor several times and pay for all that labor. you know what i mean? dood, supercharge the damn thing... the used vortech kits are very affordable these days for the de motors.

i don't hear many ppl getting just cams for the vq. i know they do for fi applications.

cuz fi is cheaper to do for the amount of power, NA gives you less power for alot more $$$ but engine response is amazing on a built NA
