The car goes in Tuesday with my laundry list of stuff to do to it, Getting the timing belt replaced, Crower stage 1 cam installed ( yes stage 1 ), Fidanza lightweight flywheel installed and the head is coming off for a full Port and Polish, originally i just needed the headgasket replaced and timing belt but i said screw that and figured i might as well do a fair share of this years upgrades now.

Sounds good to me. Depending on the cash available, if it was me I would replace some other internals as well. Seems like a good chance to replace more with the head opened up for porting.

Just got the car out of the shop FINALLY, went in last tuesday. First impression, feels like a totally new car. Louder, quicker accelleration, new flywheel is just great. I'm going to take it easy for the first little while to break it in but after that i'll have to get it dyno'd...somewhere lol

Hey minorc are you running a piggy back ecu or stane alone? Is the stage 1 cam from crowers pertty mild where upgraded valve springs and ECU tuning is not needed.

I'm running the afc neo, just a piggy back and a lousy one at that. The numbers from the wideband a/f are bigtime different now. Used to stay around the 14.7-14.8 numbers, but now whenever i step on the gas it goes as low as 11.3 and when the car is cold in the morning its around the 13.0 mark. I would like to get the aem fic controller but i have no laptop to monitor the thing. Next month i'm going to get it dyno tuned in Toronto before i go visit a friend, hopefully i can squeeze some more power out of my current modifications.

The Cam is pretty mild, and no valve upgrading was not necessary. I've heard how the stage 2 cam sounds on youtube and im not liking it. I am planning on turbo next summer for sure so i'm wondering what my options are for a standalone fuel management system are.. i'm guessing i'll have to buy a laptop. Next thing for me is new bumpers sides and a paint re-spray.
