    Only person I've seen mad at them is BillBoost. Get him in on this.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I'm not mad at them. ??? The rods or Intense. The guys at Intense have always been helpful and quick with shipping etc.

    The pushrods though, do bend easier. When modding and spinning the motor faster, it's usually best to build a little extra safety in.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Hm, I probably invented my own reality. I do that. I thought I remembered you mentioning bending lightweight pushrods at some point.

    More to the point, found an interesting quote: "They fill up with oil, so whatever weight you save on wall thickness will be filled with oil. Oil isn't nearly as rigid as chrome-moly. The NASCAR guys use huge 11/42- to 91/416-inch pushrods. They may be heavy, but they don't flex."
