A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

sorry for the delay. the car is running great. im going to post pics of the gears and timing chain that was removed from the car. either he did something else, or the stripped timing gear was robbing me of throttle response and a great running car because the drive home was magnificent. I didnt punch it or anything, but cruising on the highway and light throttle she was ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!

Most definitely a slipped timing chain will kill performance... .

that is great news!  Yes, the injectors and chip will be better, but, probably not nearly the improvement you are currently experiencing!  I am happy for you!! :cheers:

that is great to hear!!!!!!!!! glad you confirmed. the only negative thing about the job is that the guy put a double roller on there.  he said that he don't like the dbl rollers but that was the one he could get the quickest. the car's response to throttle is beyond impressive.  i think i might put up a video. we'll see what happens with this setup.
