i have a c16xe in my car... it has about 90k on it....

it has a manztel power box installed but i'm still on standard managment....

should i leave it as it is untill i can afford to rebuild it then get a unchip and ARP's?

or

should i wack the ARP's in now and get the unichip and mapping done now? and do the rebuild some other time?


The engine appears to be fine to me doesnt seem to be showing its age at all and it bullet fast...

its ok get a vice you can hold in your hand and will sit flat on a bench put the drill bit in the hold and it will naturally centre its self in the cap, just keep the drill vertical its only a tiny amount of material that needs removing so ya canrt really get it wrong, but if ya do ya will be forking out for new rods as the caps are specific to the rods, yes i will help ya matey
