I would spend the extra 300$ on a meth kit. Too many guys I know say oh I'll wait on the meth, I don't wanna spend the extra cash. Few months down the road they need a new bottom end. Meth kit = Cheaper than a motor.

They are OK tires, but nothing special. I think its partially because they are on those lightweight Rota slipstreams.

He is boosting a stock VE. He is not putting a VE head on a DE block. I don't even know where that came from?
