just toshing it out there.

also i think the pic with the hand on the door sill is showing how to use a cushion to aid in getting out of the car?
when i got out of my 240 with a bride zetaII seat with nagisa rails (LOW!), i used to put my left hand on the door sill and pivot to a standing position that way. a pad there would make sense for that.
Not 30, that would need a pretty big rev limit increase, but 20 is pretty realistic, increase lift to maximize power at like 7400 instead of 7000, get like 15hp out of it. I am looking at the picture and I don't see variable valve control (cam phasing does not count in my book, because it can be implemented without any serious changes to the valvetrain), I think this definitely isn't going to stay forever.

Yea I think those new emissions laws...restrictive catalytic converters or something. Sucks
