Yeah I agree.

However I'll give a little bit better of an explanation but most of the guys on here have heard this over and over again. If you are going to do mods to the car that are going to be serious hp adders, your going to have to upgrade your timing chain. Another thing to take into consideration is the milage of the car. Also if you wanted to, you can change the single roller timing chain to a double roller and go with an electric water pump which some people see small hp gains out of.

Good luck.
