Hey, want to say thanks to Buschur for installing my HKS 272 cams, ARP head bolts, and fuel pump the other day. I drove 2.5 hours to their shop and they had my car done in less than 3 hours.

The car is running great...even with the Vishnu Xede

Nice bunch of guys, great looking shop, and good magazines to read while I waited.

I can't wait for PRP to open in April so I can see what the new mods can do on the track...

 

Congrats.

 

Nice

I've had them do a lot of my work.. always a pleasure. I'd have to agree on the shop.. it's always nice to have things to keep you busy while you wait

Did you get to check out their new bumper table?

 

nice

 

Great post, thanks for sharing!

 

I didn't see the bumper table, too busy checking out the back issues of Drag Sport mag with the import models

 

I'm jealous . Were the ARP bolts recommended with the cams, or just something you did while working on the head anyway?

 

People always say to do them just in case and thye are right there when doing the cams so be stupid not too.


I actually just got my cam gears done last night from a buddy in the Cape and we thought the gears were tightened and didn't have access to an allen wrench and my exhaust cam skipped too like 6+ or more degrees advanced, I went to leave a place and my car bucked, then I went to recreate it and the valves ticked for like 2 seconds and I shut off the car. Fixed it etc.

Seems fine now but I may need to rebuild my head which I will anyway... Thats why people never recommend doing cam gears.

 

The ARP bolts were recommended because I plan on getting a bigger turbo for next year. And since the car was apart anyways, why not put them on. I know Buschur didn't recommend cam gears, but since I am running Vishnu's Xede I didn't want to make changes to the maps at this point. Vishnu's stages include adjustable cam gears.

The plan is to run the car at the track and see if I can get it into the high 11's on race gas and possibly with the cat-delete pipe on. Then I will probably need to get a race clutch installed shortly after hitting the 11's. That's why I probably won't have the money until next year for the turbo upgrade.

 

Here is how the new cams sound sitting at idle.
