Cams are in.

[Paul]

i don't know about f/i...but at idle, my car sounded like it was under water...you'll just have to hear it...it's hard to describe.

in a good way or in a bad way?

 

[stdntDrvr]

oh it sounded great...you'll love it

 

[Paul]

well today is the day. I threw the car back together last night. Last thing is to put the belts back on. Then start her up. I'm leaving now to work on it. So wish me luck and i'll report back in about 2 hrs when i get home.
Also is there a break in period for cams?

 

[msp35]

goodluck!

 

[Paul]

w00t w00t she's cammin.
sounds a little different to me. seems to run really good. not a huge jump in performance but a little different. I have only put about 12 miles on it so far, i'll let u know as they start to break in.
I haven't driven my car in about a week so it's really hard to say how the butt dyno really feels.
thanks for all the help everyone

[Paul]

Cam Gears

Cam Gears

no way, i'm not taking it all apart for a 3rd time

 

[stdntDrvr]

lol...have them installed...you'll get more out of your cams.

They sit on the outside, you don't have to take anything appart. See picture...

 

[Paul]

all the same s*** has to come off though. the belt.valve cover all that crap.
doesn't cam gears just advance ur timing?
and who makes them for the msp?

 

[stdntDrvr]

tripoint i believe...and SR Motorsports

 

[Aricjm15]

you would use the cam gears to get more overlap, you dont want more overlap being that turbo's dont like overlap
although you could mess around with the exhaust timing to try and get the turbo to spool faster

 

[Paul]

so how exactly do u "tune" cam gears?

 

[stdntDrvr]

look at the pics at www.srmotorsports.com you can see how to adjust them.

On a dyno.

 

[Paul]
