LQ4 S480 Build
I've been doing a lot of testing.
I feel I have to have quantitative and qualitative results before I can just start grinding cams based off someone else results or because I think it "might" work better one way versus another.
I don't feel it's right for my customers to be my test subjects. Thanks for the pat on the back, lol.

I actually was wrong about the difference in overlap. There is a 8 degree difference in overlap@.050" and 8 degree difference in duration between the old cam and the new cam.
New cam has 4 degrees, old cam had 12.

You gonna go back out on the same boost and try to perfect the driving first or are you gonna get a few passes in to check the tune then turn it up? Now that your forged I think your going to see some serious things from the s480!!!

Not to go into a long story but I needed a new hood. Got this one from a friend and had to do some work to it he fixed some of the scrapes and cracks thought about leaving some red on it I usually like a solid color but It looks pretty good.

Thanks My friend Jim did the body work to it and then Ed and Jim painted it no sprayer was involved since im strapped for time just testing the idea out for now
Keep it or make it solid black?
I still can't decide lol
That's what my friends said. I personally think the car isn't extreme enoigh to rock the highlighted 4 1/2 highlighted cowl until its got twin chutes and outlaw 10.5s out back.
Lol you and another friend of mine are the only 2 negative votes! I could go either way with it. Think ill leave it for a week if it doesnt grow on me ill paint the rest.
