    custom PCM tuning & timing advance

    Unless you have a complete tuning package like hp tuners. I would get a mail order tune. 10hp is not even noticeable. I would go with a higher stall converter and a mail order tune if you wanna wake that car up. Then you have the bolt on stuff to add to that intake manifold long tube headers for...

    Are wheel studs routine for tire shops, or..

    By the time they put the labor into removing the hub. You might as well just replace the whole hub. It's like an 80$$ part you can change yourself. Less labor involved too.

    Is PCV Valve the stupidest thing?

    My answer to it. No smell or blow by unless extended idling. The smell is gone once you start driving not bad at all. I am going to run a line to the frame. That should eliminate all the smell. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3503985/goodbye_PVC_system.#Post3503985

    How does a PCV valve work VS. how it's supposed to

    pvc is emission control. Fresh air usually after MAF then into intake manifold. Where it just causes oil and junk to collect. Change an intake manifold after 100K you will get oil spill out of one. I just freely vent mine.
