Update: 8-1-13

Pulled my plugs yesterday just to check on how things are running.

The plugs looked beautiful. Nice brownish tan color on the insulator, ground strap and tips nice and clean.

Base-rings looked perfect as well. Nice to know everything is running good with the cams & GMR S3.

 

Subd would this be same for 2.2

 

Yep. Should be very similar.

 

NICE! The GMR S3 is by far my favorite & proven tune

 

Agreed Roel!!

 

Performed some testing with my Gtech Pro RR to see where the cams make power.

Out of an average of 4 runs, the S1 cams made peak power at approx. 7,207 rpm.

Out of an average of 4 runs (existing runs from last fall), the stock cams made peak power at approx. 6,769 rpm.

The only modifications I made since last year are the cams & valve springs.

So ZZP's claim of around 500 rpm increase in powerband for the S1 cams is pretty accurate.

Overall, I'm still very happy with these cams. Next spring dyno time.

 

Looks like I'll be using my own how to....

Just purchased the GMR Ported Head!!! Ships today

 

You gonna get some aarp head studs? Lol

 

awesome! congrats man, i will certainly follow any updates you have on that install

 

I'm putting a list together of the parts I need.

Def getting MrB's upgraded timing chain guide bolts.

Thanks man. I was nervous, because there was a lot of interest in the head.

People just didnt post. I was the first to offer, so I got first dibs.

Thank God I did. Ted from Jannetty is shipping the head out today for me.

I did not plan on messing with the car this winter, but it looks like it's going back under the knife again, haha.
