Started for the first time with new cam.
Started for the first time with new cam. I just started my car for the first time with the new cam 224/224 581/581 on a 112 and ASP pulley kit. The lope sounds badd *** and the car started right up with no unusuall vavle train noise. I also had no lights come on. My car is a M6 it idles between 650 and 700 rpm. I love the cam so far, I'll see how it drives tonight. Thanks for all the help from everyone that replied to all of my questions and especially Speed Inc. for reccomending me to do the cam install. Thanks, Jessie

Re: Started for the first time with new cam. Congrat on the new setup!
How hard (tight) was putting the ASP pulley on? I 've already reinstalled the stock crank pulley on my car, and it was very hard to get started. Just wondering becuase I plan on installing an ASP pulley when I do my cam. Thanks!

Re: Started for the first time with new cam. Tommy the asp pulley went on extremely easy. I put oil on the inside of it and slipped it right on. It went on just far enough for me to start the bolt and then i just kept tightening the bolt until I couldn't tighten anymore and then made sure all of the other pulleys lined up and pulled the old bolt out and installed the new one. I just drove the car, it pulls hard throughtout the power band. I had forgotten that I had set my rev limiter to 5700 so I just kept hitting it. The seat of the pants power gain from the cam is far greater than the power gain I got from all of the bolt ons combined and I have a full bolt on car. But the true test will be at the track and on the dyno I'll post once I get the new results.
