^ :lol:

I heard you loose a little low end... but with my tune and the correct timing set, I didnt notice any loss, just gain.

rob you should probably warn him about your confetti show...


after rob did his cams the car started shooting out sheets of carbon, like confetti out his exhaust. because he had no Cat, and an str8 through muffler it was not an issue, but IF you have a Cat. you could clog it.

PS. it did stop after a bit, and its suspected that the higher lift of the cams was causing the valves to scrape the carbon off the walls of the head to produce this effect.
