It probably will get worse, and with how crammed everything is in the engine bay it makes it way more of a pain in the ass to work on.
my goal is to hopefully be done working on cars within the next few years. I feel bad for the young kids who think they want to be mechanics for a living.
She's pretty much perfect now, I just wish I had the Shelby1000 hood lol.
Yes sir, I got him to do 800 shipped, apparently he had a widebody, holeshot package Super snake, he sold it. So he didn't need the splitter. I couldn't pass on the deal
I'm one of the guys that works on stuff like that lol. I've been working for Lexus as a technician for over 16 years now. I'm hybrid certified. When we had the early hybrid stuff like the Lexus RX400H, it was honestly pretty easy. Our new hybrid vehicles aren't as crazy complicated as they look...
I would recommend you send your engine to JDM engineering and have them install the parts. Either way, it'll be pricey. I paid around 18k for my engine with upgraded cams and all valve train components. If you don't want upgraded cams, that will save you a good amount.
You can do what I did and do the JDM engineering upgraded rods and pistons

3.73s doesn't make the car work harder, if anything it makes it easier on everything. 3.08s would be a different story.
What all do you have done to the car? What fuel are you using? Sounds like your tuner didn't know what he was doing if you "nuked a piston"
