Most definitely. Gonna also measure stock piston-to-valve clearance and the clearance with the .030" milled head, each with stock cams and these cams. That's the plan anyway.

According to this video, black has a better thermal efficiency. So it will supposedly shed more heat than the standard aluminum finish.

I send 3 emails and got no response. after a few weeks they posted a hiring ad on here, so I told them they should hire someone to reply to customer service emails. 5 mins later I got a reply to my email telling me to contact the vendor who sold it to me and they would decide how to handle it/contact ED if necessary.

The person obviously didn't read my email, because I specified that I bought it from them and attached the invoice to the email. The dude just tried to send me on a goose chase to shut me up.

I replied and re-informed them it was purchased through them directly, and re attached the invoice. Nothing yet, and I'm not expecting a response. I'm very disappointed in their customer service.

You're the second person who I've seen that happen to. c130aviator had the same thing happen. I don't think I'll ever buy their hoods for that reason.

I am still getting a tiny bit when rolling into the throttle with almost no load. Definitely false KR. So far it seems to only pick up KR on cyl 4.

So far it's MUCH less than with tip in enabled. A few more days of logging and I will put the tip in KR back in and do some more logging!

Well today I put my new tires to the test in the rain. I slammed on the brakes hard on an empty road and had absolutely NO problems with the tires breaking loose. That puts my mind at ease a lot.

I also bought OTTP springs and rack spacers(just in case) and some other random goodies from ZZP.

Mounted new winter tires yesterday and machined the front rotors. No more Michael J Fox when getting off the highway.

Omg I got to see the best thing. A loser ass guy in a Prius passed a 73-80 Chevy truck and honked his horn for no reason the whole time, then got in front of him. So the truck guy got super close and the Prius acted more like a *****. So the truck ran him into the shoulder and took off and the Prius couldn't keep up. Then I flipped the Prius off with both hands and passed him and left him in the dust.

Don't buy a Prius kids.

Lol you find the weirdest driver ever

Washed the car, cleaned the engine bay up a bit, tried to align the headlight so it wouldn't have such a big gap to the hood still not enough but better than what it was

Kinda bummed that my front bumper has alot of rock chips but can't really complain for a DD car.

Also put that on the grill and took off the big ss emblem

Shoulda put a "supercharged" badge on it for the troll factor. I must say it's odd seeing your old pics when your car hadn't been painted white yet.

Might have a boost leak, doing a second gear pull would go up to 23 then started going down to 17 psi
