I don't have personal experience with them. Friend of mine runs them and likes them. They work fine with dual S13 cams so they will be fine with the Kelford cams.

You could just do the Kelford 256/264 setup with stock or aftermarket springs and still make good power. I've seen enough Crower cams come apart to know that I won't be using them. Most, if not all, of your power will be made well before the point in the power band where you will need upgraded/overs...

I've seen VERY FEW KA's make it past the 200 mark on a NA setup. The most successful one being a guy that works for Garrett, he dropped more than 6k into his build though.

You are comparing our suspension to other cars for some reason. Apples and oranges people... S13 chassis has above 100% anti-squat property in the rear suspension, which means it does not squat like you think it would on launch. S14 IRS has much less anti-squat figured into it, which is why we switc...

On a hard launch the rear suspension gains about +1.5° of camber. I would put it at -1.5° and go from there that way you would hopefully get the wheel to go level with the ground when you launch.

The offset is the backspacing basically. Offset is from the mounting face out, backspacing of the wheel is measured from the back of the wheel and in. Google it if you're impatient.

Don't depend on him to get you what you want and save you money. They don't pay bills by being economic, they always want to sell you something.
Order a 3" to 3" resonator or baffled muffler online and then have it welded in. I've heard good things about the spiral-flow units.

If you already have an exhaust system I suggest having another muffler installed somewhere in the middle. I don't recall ANY aftermarket exhaust systems being the slightest bit quiet. They're all pretty loud.
At least a muffler would save you a few dollars in the end.

Just buy a good MIG. Stud welders aren't for reinforcing. They're for pulling dents without drilling. Besides, even if you did find a way to rig it for stitch welding that would only make it useful for 2 jobs. MIG welders are good for about a dozen different things, at the least.
