Maybe a dumb question, but how fast are you spinning the M62 with the 2.7" at 8K?

Oh, we'll definetly do it. I'm just not sure how many days from work in a row I can dodge. Regardless, between Wes, Dan, and I it will be done in 2 days tops.

something about the 07's p32 makes the car a bitch to work with.

ghaaaaaaaaaaa.

most of the people at the chicago meet didn't know i had cams in the car just by listening to it

The reason why nobody could hear your car is cause everytime you started yours the other brian decided to start his at the same time. His car is a little louder then yours at idle but I could definatly tell that something was up with your car.

well, then you may want something a little less then the 272's.....since they don't come into their powerbad until around 5k.

But yes, if you wanted to grind just call him and he'll know what you're looking for

you can start to feel the cams come in at 4k. really come in at 5k. then go smashing into the limiter.

bryan. wek sos

the only time you will hear the cams in my car is when the afr drops below 16.5. any richer than this. it's smooth as silk. still pulls an indicated 17.75 inhg


they do just fine for daily driving. no issues thus far.

im pulling the valve cover this weekend to check the wear

You think a grounding kit might help smooth things out along w/ some more HP tweaking?
run as little accesories as possible. having the battery in the trunk doesn't help either

I've heard it in person couple times now.... the first time prior to the tune fix you could really hear the cam!

Now to be honest... you can't really tell it's there unless you know what you are listening for!

The only thing I run is the engine. Radio, maybe, while highway driving, but not city. In the cold weather, having the heater on actually helped stabilize idle and coast down. We'll see how it reacts when A/C is needed...

I really just need to pick up HPT so I can tweak the hell out of it from day-to-day and see what it seems to like best.

Thanks, btw.
