Yes its normal its all the oil and fingerprints and what not bruning off the parts your fingers were all over. Make sure your oil pressure is good and moniter that coolant as well.. What size cam did you put in?

 

g5x3 theres only one pipe shooting smoke

 

Let me guess passenger side?

 

yuh y

 

when i was driving they wer comming out both just fine... one thing is i have to keep her alive everytime i stop

 

let her get used to the cam, getting it tuned immiediatly would be best but it will try to adapt on its own somewhat. congrats on this install, you inspired me to document mine heads/cam install when i get them.

 

When I put the cam in my GTO I kept second guessing myself.I even tore it down again and checked it with a degree wheel.The tune made a huge difference.That's all it needed.

 

oh yeah did you get the ORY from qtp? if not then what did you use?

 

the y pipe is custom from a shop here in chicago. lol i told how to route it and wow i didnt realize that i now cant get a driveshaft safety loop on... guys honostly i thank all you im a very paranoid person as you can see i practically told you a life story on this cam install lol... also i hope this inspired alot of people. theres nothing like a built car when you literally put blood into it. ouch.. ill get more vids..

i drove it some more tryed to teach it to idle and i finally got it to. it still dies alot and i mean every chance it gets. nothing smells better than fresh motor parts getting broken in

 

 

2 vids

 

Nice job man. Go pound the **** out of it and it might fix the idle!

 

what is the specs on that came? is it on a 114 lsa???


other than that.. CONGRATS!!! i bet u feel good!

 

i feel reel good i still cant believe it.. give it a month or more ima be like HEADS HEADS.. i believe the g5x3 is a from what a tool told me 236/242 610 or so and it is a 114lsa

 

um yea i cant get a tune for like a month due to snow weather comming up but i am have someone comming over to minor tune it to just cruise around to get the miles on the new stuff till i get dynoed tuned.... what am i or should i or hoping to expect at the wheels? im more of a 1/4 mile time guy but hoping 380+

 

Congrats man, it feels really good doesn't it! Mine put down 401rwhp, so you should be close to that since its the same cam. Don't know how much of a difference yours being auto will make.

At least you don't have to worry about a clutch. My pressure plate broke 5 days after the cam install.

 

i have stock a4 so boom soooner or later

 

Congrats man she sounds like a beast.

 

my car with the tci 3000 stall in it put 340 to the ground, that stall with my current mods in my sig except the yank. if the manual put down 401 your probably gonna be around 380-390 range. but it will be a strong 380-390, i routinely beat the **** outta mustangs on the bottle putting over 400rwhp and 450rwt. they cant explain it and neither can i but i do it lol. my only explanation is you cant outshift an automatic.

 

Well, congrats buddy. Im damn glad to see you made it thru. Nothing better than knowing that you are solely responsible for your car's progress!
