FRPP Hot Rod Cams are in (finally)
I haven't posted anything about the ordeal I had on here, so here's a short rundown.
I started putting the Hot Rod Cams in last night. We were almost done with the driver's side when I thought I saw something out of the ordinary. I pulled the front cam cap off to find this:
Not good at all. I have a theory on how this happened, but I'm not sure. Fortunately, I was able to get one of my buddies who is an above average welder to come and fix this for me this morning.
You can see on the top left in this picture a little bit that needed grinding.
We grinded it until it fit flush onto the cam, and installed the rest hassle free. Here's a short idle vid for you guys. I think I'm pretty much done with performance mods for now!
EDIT: We changed out the spark plugs while we were in there, no trouble there and I don't have that to worry about any more either.

Thanks, I have the idle set to 690 on the tune but the tach says it's still idling 750-800.

You guys are killlin' me. I've been considering (finally) to do something to my '07 but we're putting in an Agreement of Sale for a new house and cash will be short. Keep us posted.
