I might've made your car slower. Just because it FEELS faster, doesn't mean it's actually faster..

ie - my car goes faster without my K&N SRI.. stock works the best.. tested it out against my winter beater... but K&N makes it FEEL faster.. I swore I could feel more power. But in reality, not so. You don't know until you dyno it..

well today i took the time to figure it out. so we got the timing light out and a stop watch and ran it down the road. and it is faster with it on, that is unless the stop watch was wrong.

hey biggs...
just bought my AEM cam gear this week. im about to do the install, but im just wondering if you did a DIY for this at all, or is it basically just by the instructions that come in the box? it sounds like a time-consuming install, but is there anything you recommend i DO, or DON'T DO??? or just things to watch out for or be careful with??? well, its late, so im gonna crash now that way i can get an early start on this sucker in the morning??? oh yah, wut tools did u have to use throughout the install?

i basically went by the direction in the box. just make sure you remove the back cover behind the gear itself. i learned the hard way and found a clicking noise, then had to do it all over again. all you need is prob a 10mm 12mm 14mm and a few other sockets and thats about it. if you have a question email me brianhoney_11@msn.com

Hey biggs, I've had the cam gear installed for a couple weeks now.. It's ok I guess... I've got the timing advanced like 2 degrees on the cam.... how much did you change it and what other mods do you have?
