any new vids of you getting on it?

 

lol u get the tool AFTER u replace cams.

 

well I mean zip ties can be pretty risky to use for the cams,but if they were working then why bother getting the cam gear holding tool,its honestly your car,not the people who bitched about it.Its like me I am probably going to get bitched at for making my own custom downpipe that is catless,but I paid only 13 dollars for the piping.Major difference in what other companies sell it for.

 

That tool helps a lot when you install the cam gears back on again.

 

Updates?

Dyno #'s?

 

been really busy. and Vince is still working hard on my tune to get it right cause the 2005 is missing the base running air flow table. but the 2007 have them

 

Cool, just keep up updated!

 

OMG LOL Jn2 LOL you said ... I never thought of using zip ties " AND I'M MEXICAN" mannn I can barely breath i'm laughin so damn hard!! LOL

 

lol yeah, but my buddy found the tool needed to install the cams at his shop, found it by part #, i didnt think the dealer would have it, seeing as how it is a ecotec specific tool, but yeah, so i am saving up for cams right now should be a month before i can have them

 

still working on the tuning for mine also... for some reason its still knocking...

 

So you guys are having problems now with the tuning with cams?Is it because of what year the vehicle is or that doesn't matter at all?

 

I hope not because i own a 2006 and im getting stage 2 cams. So if its because of the year of the car that messed up

 

Yeah that would suck,that would hold me back then for while once again.

 

In the 2006 and 2005 all the computer tuning is uncharted territory. there is a crustal map table that needs to be there but is not (base running airflow: which tells the throttle body to be open this much when at idle). In 2007 Gm switched back to the same ECU that they used in LS1's and trucks in our cars. that's why you see other company's tuning those year vehicles instead of ours. Vince is working very hard, and closely with me still trying to get it "perfect." My car is running great but i want it perfect and so does he. there is nothing wrong with the tune it makes the car run outstanding. but is a little shaky at idle do to the fact that, there is not base running airflow table in the ECU like there is in the 2007's

 

mine is an 07 and its knocking at certain rpm ranges. its not because of the tune, i think its because of either the iat is too hot or the cams are ground incorrectly... had to switch over to 91 octane also...

 

Hey Guys here is a video from inside the car. When i come to stop listen for the cam

Videos take a little bit of time there long (no 56K)

 

sooo, whats the point of the cams???

 

I wanta go fast like you

 

lol that needed a smiley face after it.

 

Seriously though, u have plans for N20 or turbo kit? Cams work best with FI or N20.

 

My plan is to eventually go F/I (turbo) wanted to do all the small things. next is forged internals. then turbo

 

VERY VERY SMART. That is the best way to go. Build the car from the ground up. You going to do tranny work? I would recommend this as well as soon as you go big power ( aka 300 HP+ ).

 

Yes for got to mention that! While the motor is out for rebuild then im going to put in a stage 2 fidanza Clutch and flywheel

 

U better change the tranny down the line. Sounds like ur off to a good start though. GL on everything.

 

give me 2 weeks and ill have some numbers... i just got home from vegas (two weeks) and im very jumbled up right now and im still tuning my car
