    Dont mean to get OT, but how are you getting this car inspected? I cant remember your tune, but I think its a dme tune, but did any inspection person say anything about your turbo or lack of 2ndary air pump during visual? Sorry about the ot again, im in the process of getting mine ready for inspection and Im having to remove the Tec3 and replace stock stuff to pass.

    Nice setup how is that f1 Clutch setup working out for you? I Have the stage 3 kit with the flywheel. I'm going Trm stg 2 and hoping that the F1 kit will hold up.

    Clutch works out great. A little bit noisy on engagement but otherwise no issues.

    Got them from Jim at Metric Mechanics. I'll have to get the specs from him again. I wrote it down when I ordered them but can't find the piece of paper!

    Calling Monday to find out when I can get it tuned!

    Yes this is with the TRM tune for m52 cams. The idle smooths out when the car warms up and AFR's are in the 14.7 range.

    I need to get this body work done so I can get to ATL and see what kind of gains we can put down!

    Yeah you got it, spline shaft on intake cam.

    I should have noticed, but it was just one of those things! I've taken cams in and out quite a few times. We can all make mistakes, expensive though!


    Just took it for a ride, feels good... running rich.. time for a tune!

    Anyone want a free paper weight? Just shoot me a few bucks for shipping! lol

    I would have thought that the tune would be leaner with the new cams, not richer.

    Did I miss the cam specs?

    Haven't posted the cam specs yet, need to get them.

    But I realize now that I need to recalibrate my wideband. It is an innovate lc-1 I believe and I remember before having to re-calibrate it after everything had been disassembled. There is a procedure of turning it on and waiting a certain amount of time with it out of the exhaust.. or something like that. I'll do that tomorrow and swap my power steering pump as it has been making more and more noise lately.

    Is that the final product of the fender flares? Looks kind of rough, did you just pull the fenders? Great car, hopefully a new tune will come soon.

    12.89 at 120mph. I'm waiting on a stainless clutch line as my stock one is giving it up making it very hard to shift, if you couldn't tell it took forever!

    More coming, I hate uploading videos!
