So, I just made a huge purchase on parts:

Wot-Tech:
Street/Strip N/A Cam
LX5 TB Adapter
26986 springs

Canuck 1.7/1.6 Springs

Moates:
Ostrich 2
ALDL USB Cable

TCE:
LS6 Lifter Spirngs

I have a 3400 going in the car with 3500 heads, 3500 LIM, 3400 UIM, LX5 TB.

I am going to send my intakes in to get ported, stage 3 upper and stage 2 lower. Is it worth spending money on getting a crank scrapper? Also looking into getting a shift kit, cannot really find any, the car is automatic. Any other performance mods you guys can recommend either from a junkyard or anything?

If you get a scraper, get the full one with nylon, not just steel.

I probably won't get one then. $160 is a lot to spend on a scraper when I can spend it on porting heads. Anyone know of any shift kits or anything for a th125?

I noticed you bought canuck springs, I have them on my car and they ride like sh*t. Is it normal for the 2 lower rear coils to start overlapping each other? They've been like that since new

Can't tell you right now. My z has stock springs now. I doubt they are suppose to overlap. Canuck has a lifetime anti sag/ failure warranty. Maybe you have a defective set. I would post in the suspension forum. If you keep an eye on the build. Ask me again once I install them. The whole car is getting stripped and all the parts are getting painted.

A cheap air compressor and a die grinder will do your head work for you. Then you can throw money at other things.

I dont want to screw anything up. I have never ported heads or an intake besides gasket matching. I do not want to make the flow worse.
