you could try and get it close yourself, do they look way off ? glad to hear it running good with no tune the cam must have been a good choice.

the cam is around .544 on both sides i believe. the real reason it runs so well is the 114 lsa im sure.

You could jack up the rear end and run it in gear like they do in Ferris Buler's Day Off! lol

I spoke to soon, I may have a few issues. Seems I got a little oil in front of the lower intake. Got a code 121 last night-TPS voltage too low or high. Its starting to surge. My Anti Lock light came on as well. All easy stuff but I thought it was clear sailing after 5 days of straight driving. Oh well, I'll need something to do next week since I'm off until Jan 2nd.

I have 110 miles on the motor as of right now. I'm going out for another 30 mile spin in a few minutes. I hope I don't trash my front tires. Steeda can't do my front end work until Jan. 9th. Hopefully someone will cancel before then.

is that the only place that can do the alignment?

I hear you on the late coming gremlins Joe. My car ran like a champ for roughly 2 weeks when I first got my setup together and then all of a sudden the idle started to actup amongst other things. Good luck with it man, I'm sure you'll get it all figured out.

Thats a really good deal, especially since I'm assuming the tech guy knows what he's doing.

My Dad's Ford dealership has a real nice fancy digital unit, they charge ~$115, but thats for putting the car to factory settings.

It idles at 875 solidly for awhile. It may surge later when its hot but not enough to stall it out. I'll put a meter on the TPS and set it maybe tonight. I may have to the lower intake over again but I've done that so many times that it won't take long at all.

Got the TPS set last night. Idles like a champ now. I need to put more miles on the car before I put the PMS on. Jan 9th is my Steeda appointment for the front end work.
