I looked up the ZZP cam and it looks like they're giving some really bad advice about swapping the intake cam in to the exhaust position.

So if they don't realize the differences, I would be very careful with their intake cam

Why is it bad advice? ZZP tests everything and has proven results, they aren't selling things that don't work. You can only purchase these cams if you are running their bwV3 turbo or larger. Also, they just hit 11.85 in the 1/4.

Engine bay needs some dressing and cleaning. Also, need a solution for the racerx manifold and the zzp e85 kit. The e85 kit comes with a mounting plate and a post that's supposed to mount through the hole on the fuel rail and into the stock manifold. This won't work on the racerx IM. I just ordered the racerx fuel rail with the bracket to mount on the intake manifold. Hopefully I can just tap a hole in the mounting bracket and bolt it right to that.

Just bought the ZZP IC kit, new ZZP TB kit, and the ZZP rear sway bar. Anyone with an RS have trouble installing the IC piping by the Fog Light? It gives a word of caution on the website, just wondering if anyone has any experience installing on an RS.
