so do you think that it is a battery? And what do you recommend to replace it? I have to check funds to see if i can get an optima red top, if not what is the other alternative????
I told you she was cursed. The battery probably didnt like you storing it and not getting any charging. I'm afraid to go start my car after sitting so long in the cold storage unit too How was your drive? PM ME!

We did have a bad story, we just took care of him well. We had a problem with a camshaft and it broke the timing chain, bent a few valves, etc. We took care of the problem free of charge to the customer...

You only hear bad things when people arent taken care of, if you take care of them accordingly, and get back to them, they're happy 99.9% of the time.

Exactly, you took care of him so it's no big deal. When you can trust the shop to take care of you, you'll go back to them time and time again with larger and larger builds hopefully.

That sucks man, I have an optima yellow top and IMO it is the best battery out there and the red top is right there with it. I would surely get a new battery, if you have the $$ go ahead and get an optima. if youre strapped for $$ you can use pretty much any battery out there, diehard, interstate.

They think that probably because the overlap is biased much more to the intake side, which usually costs you top end power. Your combo seems to have overcome that. Good job man.

well today, i got a optima red top. put it in the car, damn thing fired up w/o hesitation

driveability with the cam....

if at around 1500 - 1800 RPMs the car bucks/jerks. I need a 4.10 now to get up in the Rs quicker.. Idle is set to high for i think. It is set at 1000. you can hear the cam lope, but i think that lowering the idle you will hear it lope more?? i would like the idle around 850-900 RPMs???? Another drivablitly issue i am having i think that it had a lot to do with my battery. If i am crusing and i take the car outt gear, the RPMs will rev and staty at 2000 RPMs till the motor it selfs slow down. I told my tuner about it, says it was prolly that batter, b/c it was reading low... So he is aware of the problem and i am dropping the car off again monday for some more tuning..

Yea it really pays to research. My numbers are impressive....

I too thoguht that having the +4, i thought that it would peak sooner too. but nope it still revs till i think the graph said 6800...

As far as pictures go for the graph, i will get them up.. i rean outta bandwith at photbucket so i have to wait
