The hotter it is, the better the fuel burns because it doesn't have to be heated(spark plug) as much to ignite. Doesn't heat help prevent detonation as well? Thus allowing him to run an ass load more timing than anyone else on this forum...

Fail. ******* Fail. Check for a unbiased dyno with that header. It is GARBAGE! Wait, do you work JBP? Related in anyway to the owner? I bet you could trace the banzai tree back to a common ancestor because you both are on teh same fail boat

You can get regrinds, but that poses problems too.

Look waaaay back when a certain blue G5 GT played with JBP's cams.

And stay away from JBP.

Nope.

Well at least not L61 cams.

LAP and LE5 IIRC have the same heads/cams

It's a shame you don't have an L61, because there are some wicked cams out there for them.

And I am not talking comp **** either.

ya i chose the 2.4 due to at the moment finances i was able to afford the 2.4 and the maintenance. but i think this will be a fun challenge to see how much i can get out of it. there's been a few 2.4's in the junk yards in calgary lately so i'm gonna try and get a second motor for the summer and build that motor up so i can still drive my balt.
