Got Questions On buying parts and the type of performance you can get out of them?

- Start date

and with the flywheel, not necissarily hp gain, but less rotational mass meaning the engine will rev quicker right?

:-( probably right... I think I'm just gonna get me a new head and get it all done so the car doesn't see down time. Maybe this is the reason it smokes every now and again lately...

What's that mean?
I'll post a video as soon as I got my clutch in and broke in. Hopefully it helps confirm or deny.
Also can I do a valve spring job with the head on the car?
Or do the valves need to be adjusted all over and I'm gonna have to dishout another 400-500 on a head job again....

can be done, but you need to fill the cylenders with air from a compresser via a fitting in the spark plug hole, or feed string in and rotate engine to mash it and hold the valves up. if you drop one it will have to come off.
though if doing the springs, might be good idea to pop the head and repace valve seals and maybe the guides at the same time
What are guides?
There was a valve job done on the car 5k miles ago. When my head was last off... Don't you think the shop would have told me if my springs where no good?
Had pressure check,bead blasted,valve job,decked cost me $495 bucks.

Doubt it. But thats not going to be your issue most likely will be something else.
Guides are what the valve stems ride in. If you had a valve job done 5k miles ago don't worry about it

Kinda relieving... Still have no idea what it could be. I'll check my timing tomorrow its 12degrees for 89 ? And is it a must to jump the 2 terminals when doing the timing?
Although the car doesn't seem to miss or idle to bad but ill still check.

timing won't cause it to idle bad or mis fire *to a certain point*
Ignition timing should be set at 10 degree's BTDC with NO CODES present with the E1 and TE1 jumped in the diagnostics block

Doubt old springs would be the issue, mine redlined just fine before the work was done.
Lighter flywheel will show on a dyno becaue it ramps up faster, not because it adds power (one of the limitations of a dyno...)
