I think Bilstein can rebuild your shocks/struts.

I was wondering what would be a good ignition for the set up I have now? My stock ignition breaks down at 6,000 and I have a Jacobs ignition that is also wired into the system but I switch to that and it breaks down at 3500,think that is the box. Anyway the motor being balanced and a cam that builds power until 6,500 it seems to just start pulling really hard when the stock ignition shuts down! Hopefully soon I will be able to play with the car I spend way to much time on comp. just dreaming now

Does anyone know if Saleen used a different spring isolator? I had ordered some and they were very thin, the ones I took off were about an inch thick. Thanks for any help
