Cams and Retune, A day at Road Race Engineering
Cams and Retune, A day at Road Race Engineering
I recently installed an Evo IX turbo, Invidia 02 Housing, and Works 3in Downpipe. All I was waiting for was my cam install and retune by Rick. Road race was nice enough to make the appointment conveniently one week from when I called. The car was sitting for a week till I took it in today, Cams were installed flawlessly and I was up on the dyno, After the second pull. BOOM Clouds of blue smoke blowing from under the engine bay. We narrowed it down to being the oil return line that I didn't Tighten down enough. They were really nice about it and layed out my options of what I could do, one of the techs tightened down one bolt and the leak slowed. I decided to finish the tune and afterwards they let me use a lift to fix the problem even after all the techs left. My expectations were a bit high but here are the results!
Previous tune: 277HP 280tq
Added EVO IX Turbo, invidia 02 housing, Works DP, and GSC S1 Cams
Current tune: 313HP 319tq
Peak HP gain wasnt crazy but, on the previous tune, at 6500RPM it was making 265HP, The power no stays throughout the band which is exactly what I was looking for.
Big thanks to Rick, for working with me and coming out today, and of course everyone at Road Race for always making me feel like family and not just another customer! Overall not a bad day

you should do e85, when I was in cali I saw it everywhere. Rick and the guys at RRE are good people, I brought my evo 8 to them when I first bought it to have them do a quick run through and they were very helpful
. Heres the graph tho
