Well, that's actually a step in the right direction. Sounds like you're finally learning. I owe you a kudos bar. lol

I've been doing camshafts this way for almost 6-7 months now.

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.

Can't wait to see some new videos. I guess I'll live vicariously through you till I can afford my own turbo build.

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!!!

I have ran into a lot of issues so Im just hoping I'm ready in time. I have a misfire and I can't understand why but if and when I get to the track ill make passes at the same boost level

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.
Before

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.

Maybe it's just me but I like the stock hood better lol but if you're gonna rock the cowl the red looks pretty good.
