Mike drives a 10 ton truck (for work) and was using it to stop at home for lunch one night, and the brakes in the truck went out, just as he was pulling into his driveway. He not only hit his car, really hard, he pushed his car into his house and through his bedroom. When he backed the truck out of the house he was caught on the front of his demolished G5-GT which also started to get pulled back out side. Mike never noticed that the car's gas line was ruptured when it snagged on a broken 2x4.
He was pissed at what he had just done to his car, so to calm his nerves he lit up a joint. Well he hadn't removed all of the seeds and a red hot one exploded and set of the leaking gas from his car. His house went up in flames so fast, that he not only lost the house, his car but also his work truck in the fire. Well the company he worked for sent him to a drug rehab but the loss of his car was so hard for him to take, he snapped. They had to sedate him and send him to a safe place (they had him committed) Now poor Mike just imagines that he still has a G5-GT and when friends come to visit they let him use their blackberry's to post here. This seems to actually be helping Mike so much, that the doctors are going to let Mike have access to a computer as part of his therapy. Once Mike can accept that he has no car, or house, or job then he will be ready to be released. Hurry up and get better Mike, we're all here for you.

if the car runs great,this might be a side benifit to having a free reflash at your dealer,cause they said" there was NO running problems, so our computers might accept the cams without a performance tune,furthermore saving 2.4vvti owners money cause they may not need a pro tune

Well, I hope it's all finally worked out for you bro. You deserve to be treated to some power gains after this whole fiasco! Good Luck and enjoy the hopefully new found performance!

Assuming that you left to pick up the car from the dealer? How is it running?? Is there a significant difference with it now??

Well gang, the car runs awsome,cams sound a little more agressive than stock, I have no idle issues what so ever and the commputer accepted the cams instantly, I really can not elaborate on performace gains, cause i have to wait a few days for the "new" headwork to seat itself, but my assumption was correct, our 2.4's love these cams and I dont know if it's our commputer or vvti, but we are more fortunate than the 2.0 guys, in the fact that tuning is not nessasary, but will of coarse net more gains

Mike, phone in sick, go to the gas station and fill up. Then drive to west vancouver using only city streets. Then drive to Mission and back to Richmone, again only using city streets. Repeat this procedure until you have put on at least 500 kms and then "punch it" going onto the freeway.
