Brian,

<<! ever try to buypeformance parts for your wbx?? cam, headers etc? not much
out there isthere??  just my 2 cents>>

Yes, I have and have done it...

I have a counterweighted crank, bigger cam, lightened flywheel, mildly ported
heads, performance muffler, hi flow K&N air filter, ratio rocker arms, Rhino
swivel valve adjusting screws, 3 angle racing valve job, full race engine
balance, match ported intake, exhauset and oil pump, quad tip platium plugs,
cut to fit Cromoly push rods, Cromoly spring retainers, racing clutch bolts,
racing valve locks, solid rocker shafts, clip on aluminum racing valve
covers.  I have also add a SA five speed with a .457 ring and pinion

Plus I am soon adding the ECU chip upgrade that will boost HP to an ESTIMATED
140 HP plus. (Chip adds 10% to a stock engine and the % increases with the
addition of performances modifications)

I am able to cruise at 75 mph with ease and the mileage has increased to @22
to 25.

Robert
