Got the car back.

Its plugged ATM, but I have a lokar on order. I'm a poor college kid, working full time. .

Dang, hope everything turns out ok, it really does sound like somethings wrong. Everyone ive heard whos done a PI swap has had great results, im hoping to do one later next summer. with Full bolt ons and a Pi swap you should be feelin pretty strong.

 

[Tbuck07]

Yeah..Ill see after the 02 sensor, and whatnot.

I mean, yeah its got noisy valvetrain, blah blah blah, explained this already a million times..

But I came to the point where I'm tired of everyone saying what they think it is..and I'm just going to drive it. If it breaks, im in the same exact boat I've been in all summer. (being without a car). And Ill just buy a PI motor,s wap my cams over.

Im holding fast to see if this valvetrain noise goes away. Had a few people said they had the same noise and theirs went away with time..I have aprox 250 miles on the car now.

Eh..These cams dont need a dyno tune. Just an idle tune. Im sure a tune would help but I dont have 600 dollars to throw at it anymore. TBH guys I'm pretty disapointed with this. I floored it in second gear and it didnt even attempt to spin the tires. Ill swap out the o2, see if that helps..

I picked up almost 20rwhp and 15rwt after I had my car dyno tuned and all the drivability issues were solved. This was after the PI heads and CMS stage 2 cams.

bro, just fill the tank and go 5thgear that shit somewhere for a while and just spin the motor letting everything get nice and broken in. do some drops to 3rd and 4th across a really long highway and see if you cant break it in some more.

^^^^

PLEASE!

AND POST SOME VIDS LOL!!!

 

[Tbuck07]

I just went out into the country..went through the gears.
Without powershifting.

Was very impressed. It picked up. Wow.

 

[97GT4.6]

Congrats dude.. I am in the same boat.. well i just got my car back, and it's not as fast as i thought it would be. Altough i haven't put on any of the bolt on parts yet, and i haven't tuned it yet... my exhaust is so loud, that its unbearable to drive around town, (and no way to get away with it), not to mention it has a blown left front strut that i can't get off and i don't have the money to fix it.. damn it.

It sucks being in college doesn't it?

 

[greenscobie86]

^Tell me about it... :BangHead:
