horsepower tv 07 gt
between you and me, that "rattling" was the vavles getting into the #2 and 7 pistons, hit it with a hammer it'll be alright lol. damn cam phasers, alls well that ends well though
My understanding from the guy we ordered them from is the replacements basically act like a locker on a rear end, I didn't really have the opportunity to ask many questions unfortunately :/
+1^^^^^^. Also your saying that one of the reasons that it took so long is because they had to change the cam phasers? Was this because they didn't know they had to do that? Also is it just the 07 S197s that have to change the phasers? Im just wondering because I'm about the do a cam swap and I really dont want to mess it up.
Well, it adds up, because you know you have to do a cam upgrade, the stroker kit itself full balanced from Eagle sells for around 2,700, only machining you have to do is clean up your bores even though to take full advantage your going to want some head work of course. I honestly couldn't tell you how much we have tied up in it, but I think if your going to do it right, this is the way to go. You really should do a cam upgrade before you blow a motor anyways so this is just keeping you from shooting a piston through your block, and the #'s don't lie. And also, Eagle's offering something new called Eagle Armor, check it out its a polish I have it on my crank and rods, where some of the hidden horsepower is coming from, but now if i'm not mistaken they are offering it for pistons too. I really honestly think though that if your going to build it, build it right the first time and be done with it. Got anymore questions lemme know man
My understanding of it is half the problem was the added noise from aftermarket pistons, but I also know they said it's a good idea to change them with any cam upgrade. I'm going to warn you though, if it weren't for our connections we wouldn't of found someone that would sell us these cam phasers they are HARD TO GET, at least 8 months ago anyways
