I'm pretty sure the stock radiator cap is SUPPOSED to open at 13psi. I recomend testing them periodically, even new ones can be way off.

Well, at least it'll keep you cautious and you know a lot more now than you did at the beginning!

1. sure it's worth it... peace of mind? Worth a fortune to me. Besides, it was a great lesson. (you DID remember to chase the bolt holes in the block with a tap... right?)
2. plastic baggies, masking tape and a marker.
3. why the hell not?'
4. agreed!
5. yeah, but if you need a car in the interim shouldn't it be running?
6. mmmmkay, whatever you need.... I needed a case of Kleenex.
7. Nah, there's enough chemicals floating around while doing this job that it'd make the drugs seem week and not worth the time.

No and no. It may be a bit faster, it's not uncommon to find that we've fixed a number of other problems on the way.... won't be more powerful than stock, but you might be surprised to find it was running like ass before; Happens often.
What's wrong with wingless? The OEM wing is just a "make pretty" part, no major effect on the vehicle's aerodynamics.
