Haha, yeah I just cleaned out under my bed so that whole pile is a bunch of misc. junk! Haven't played airsoft in over 2 yrs.
I'm probably going to end up swapping them sometime late May/early June timeframe.

Man, that is a familiar package. BTW, they sent me an aluminum tc gasket with mine... no idea why. I prefered the paper one that came with my lower end gasket set.

Nah, I'm not pulling the motor again. Got a VERY knowledgeable guy from the club giving me a helpful hand/watchful eye... he's done 8 or 9 cam installs on GP's, with the motor in, and he's definitely a smart guy.
To install the cam in the car, you just have to lower the engine cradle which from what I've heard sounds painful but really isn't a big deal. But I'm not too worried about it, hopefully it'll all be worth it in the end.

That cam should give you the results your looking for ,and as long as you have someone helping you that's done a few of these incar installs you'll be fine they are'nt easy but doable.Chico.

Yeah lets see how that goes.
Wonder if the fancy GT cam is just blowing raw boost out your exhaust valves by cause of valve overlap...? Just a thought.

Re: Look what arrived today! - 05/10/07 09:09 PM
That's what I'm thinking. The N/A cams are designed to allow what's called "blow by". I think everything else is setup just the way it should be, but the cam itself is hurting.
