Not all "1gn" was DOHC remember? :tardbang:

I'd much rather have a 2gn than a 1gn SOHC.

Thanks for all your comments! ;)

I ran 15.4 on old snow tires (not on theses new rubbers) with theses mods only : Mopar PCM, home-made cold air intake, eurethane filled motor mounts and booger bobble strut.

That car is pretty quick and i love it! :D

You don't need new hubs (well not unless the bearings are ruined)
You can change out a broken wheel stud in like 5 minutes.
Align it with the proper slot, hammer it out, put the new one in, and put a steelie on there so you can torque it all the way in without damaging your nice bubble alloys. Remove steelie and you have a new wheel stud.
