Default F13 is in and tuned!

You can read my post in the internal section...
"f13 cam install review"

I had alot of fun doing the work myself, and i've got to tip my hat to Ken and Jason for doing that kind of work for others at such a low price!

Bille did a great job with my tune yesterday, and she drives very respectable
for a street car.

I only have one thing i'm worried about. When i was dropping the oil pan, i noticed my o2 wires were hitting against my headers ( see pic ). What could i do to keep these from burning up? I don't see anything i can attach the wires to there. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

I took a adale clamp, much like a hose clamp, and ran the O2 sensor wires through it. and attached it to the oil pan.

Cool, I know you're happy now. It don't even feel like the same car does it? As far as the o2 wire goes mine was doing the same thing and Ken fixed it up when he done some work on it last so you would have to ask him if the above suggestion dosen't work.

ZR2877- I am VERY happy with this cam! This is how the car should have been sold to me from the dealer!!
I'm gonna look around for a clamp like BKHAWK1 suggested, but i'll e-mail ken too.
I'm sure he's got a few tricks up his sleeve!
Question- Is your 4.10's too much? I mean, you drive around here in this god awful traffic, are you swimming those gears or what? I've got 3.42's and could tell right away i needed better gearing, but i was thinking the 3.73's might be the "sweet" spot for a DD. What's your thoughts?

Go for the 4.10's. It's no problem driving around in traffic. It will make a noticible difference in acceleration. Didn't affect gas mileage that much. Don't think about it just do it. Well worth the $$.

ZR2877- Gas mileage? I can't seem to keep my foot off her now!! I'll need to get a ride from you or Ken or somebody so i can get a better idea of how they act. I'll be at hooters wed night, maybe see you there?

ZEEMAN- I will need some new tires VERY soon, i'll pm you. I posted my dyno from last night in my other post in the internal section, but i'll put it up here to.
It's about right for what i have, and she drives with good manors.

Have fun with it!

Congrats on the install and Bille can make one sing! It was fun hearing your enthusiasm about doing it yourself and thanks for pointing out how much of a deal it is for a cam install from me & Jason. Thanks Ken

Congrats! SS Vert? Man I bet that thing looks SWEET! Were the numbers on the graph baseline (I assume full bolt ons) and cam numbers? Is yours an A4 or M6?

DietCoke: What do you have done to yours?
Stark: Nothing much, mostly stock. I'm probably going to keep it that way, maybe a couple bolt-ons. I don't plan to mod it really.
DietCoke: Thats what you say now. Once you start, you can't stop. Just wait, you'll see
