Looks like it came out really good. Too bad about that cam failure, but it lead to something bigger and better.

Keep us posted!

The port work you did is insane, and the build is very impressive. That car sounds mean - get some video up of that thing buttoned up. I am really digging on those cams.

Finally got the injectors in lastnight, and bumped the rev limiter up to 8k. A lot of work to do on idle. Sadly I could not get my lm1 to datalog in evoscan. So knock, rpm, timing, and load was all I really logged, while looking at the lm1. So I don't have the afrs quite as flatlined as I would like. I still have not seen any real knock, and I have more timing in it then any other evo I have tuned. I believe this is soley due to the combustion chamber work. I am to the point where I think I am not even going to try to add more, and I'm just going to turn the boost up. Of course ill try to find the balance between the 2. Kind of hard with no in town awd dyno, and not wanting to make pass after pass. At 8k it seems like it is still pulling hard. Expected with the cams, but I didn't think the turbo would still be happy up there. Of course it may seem like that just because it gets to 8k quicker than it used to get to 7500 haha. We did get a better idle clip with a real digitak video recorder. Its being edited and hopefully will upload later. . Definite smoothing needed once I get the wb logging properly. I would say the way it sits now its a high one teen trapper on pump. Still about 12psi to go with race gas! I'm done rambling lol.
