I have seen a weld up job somewhere, Im pretty sure it was for a race galant tho.

is this for the Cheater beater ? are you sliding in some larger valves as well
Indeed it is! Yes those larger Ti valves will be sliding in, once spun down to size. Lots of de shrouding to do in the combustion chamber.

Re: gh struts on UNBOOSTED galant

Cheaterparts runs his race Sigma unboosted, I cant remember his setup.
I prefer the feel of unboosted, but dont run a boosted master cyl without a booster.
I ran sigma struts in my galant unboosted and had no probs.
