Default finally got my car back today!!

After 5 weeks of bs I got my car back with all the new stuff installed. Drove it from the repair shop to my house with open headers, man does it sound sick. Gets no traction with the tires I got but those are soon to come haha.

Given that you have an SN95 and a new cam I'm going to assume that you had it tuned after the install...got any numbers?

going to get it tuned in the next couple days. Mattadel I messed it up that is why it took so long lol. It was my first time doing a head cam swap. So After spending two weeks on it myself I had to take it to a shop and they had to tear it down fix the cam timing, and i kind of messed up one of the heads. Plus I had to wait an extra week for stupid crap.

yea lift is still pretty decent with this cam with the 1.7s, 528 lift. I would have went with a bigger cam but my brother bought me the E303 for my 19th birthday last september so it was free.

Well I had some extra problems and crap to fix but straight up installing a cam and heads including the gaskets is around 1400.
