yeah we were trying to take every little advantage out of those heads that we could with the cam, especially since they are out of the box heads.

OH one more thing I think I forgot to mention, which should be interesting once its working is my cutout...this tune was through a full exhaust cutout closed, I have the borla exhaust but I had a plate fabbed up so that it would direct 100% of the flow through the muffler to quiet it down, since I live in Cali and all I don't need the extra attention when I don't want it LOL.

Just goes to show what our state really cares about...CARB? pfffffffffd LOL

When it comes to this stuff I take the car out for a drive out in the country side through the hills, stop and just enjoy our California weather, just so that I can remember why I still live here LOL.

We had a fairly warm day it was tuned, some where around 78-82 degrees maybe. The humidity shouldn't have been a factor though, didn't seem too humid that day.

I'm sorry I'm still learning the lingo lol, what does cr stand for? I put just under 500 miles on the car before we dynoed it. I will PM you my cam specs.

thanks, i lived in fremont ca for a little while and sunnyvile.
