Thanks, mang! I hope it does too . The car runs awesome. Since the idle was put in open loop, it hasn't missed a beat yet in the first 500 miles. Not one stall, hiccup, or anything.

Adam, do you happen to have a degree wheel? I would really like to degree my motor so I know exactly how far I'm off before I start WOT tuning.

I'll order it up. I may need a hand degreeing the car as I've never done one before.

However, the only reason I'm degreeing my motor is because of my Fidanza Cam Gears......Maybe I'll just pick up some normal cam gears and do the ole 3.75* deal.....

What is wrong with the fidanza gears? It should be the same thing.

Fidanza's castings have been randomly different throughout their entire time of production. On my 2.0L I had them in the Evo hole, and to even get them to run the ignition timing had to be completely wack. Put 'em in the DSM hole and they worked perfect and were perfectly in time.

So, I THINK that they're on when in the DSM hole, but will never know for sure until I degree the motor.

Here's another post showing how the set that the had was off in both dowel holes:

Good man. That's where I'm at with all of this BS. Not to mention I have to hold the back of each bolt to tighten them down after I degree them!!

Awaiting a returned phone call to order some AEM gears.

I had no issues with the Fidanzas, just confusing... and since you have S2s, I am curious as to how the cams will be degree'd, please post that info when you get it!

I'm curious as well. For starters I'm going to do the AEM gears and just advance them 3.75* each, and later when I get some extra time will degree the motor and see what exactly it comes out to.

I'll surely post up when I do that! Fingers crossed the normal cam gears will solve this mess.

I've been denying that I needed these for awhile. Such a high quality piece, especially compared to the Fidanzas.
