That was my original plan until we found the compression issue.

You know you want a cam. It sounds so awesome at idle with the cam in. If you don't do a lower pulley I would go witht the 2.45 up top. If you do a lower pulley then you might as well do a cam cause you are already halfway there.

Thanks. I am loving the stance right now. There is a tiny bit of rub on the drivers side rear but only over large bumps. The tuner even though the rear shocks felt blown compared to the other 3 wagons he has tuned. SO maybe once I do those it will raise it up like 1/4in which would be perfect.

So yeah I know I have been slacking on videos. I still don't have any yet though.

In the mean time I do have some news about finally being done with the break in and going feeling the power it really has. AND OMG HOLY SHIT DOES IT HAVE POWER! The first time I experienced it I was on a back road while out of town for business and got stuck behind a dump truck doing 35 in a 45. As soon as I got to an open straight with passing marks I down shifted to second and floored it. I went from 35 to 110 before I even realized it. Not to mention traction control kicked in on the initial pedal step as well as the shift from 2-3. Scared my self with how fast it accerated. I had tried to prepare myself that it would be faster but mentally telling yourself it will be faster and then finally experiencing it is two different things. Definitely have to make sure there is space on the rode and in my mind preferably need back roads to experience more than 2/3 throttle anymore.

Here is a picture a snapped on some back roads while on my trip.

Yeah I guess we will have to wait for that. I have been making a trip the first weekend in November for the last three years. We could always get 2 cabins instead of one and grow the trip. Been trying to coninvce the Penguin to come along anyways.

Ok so on took the car in in Monday and they did the oil change for the second round of break in oil in the engine. After this I will go back to doing my own oil changes. They also installed the Mamo LS7 ported throttle body and welded the bung for my Aeroforce oxygen sensor so I can install that next weekend. The tune was updated for the new throttle body as well. The throttle body should be a a required mod to these cars. The throttle response difference is night and day.

I had a ported stock throttle body on my car but after seeing it it looks almost like a do it yourself port. It looks terrible.

New Mamo LS7

If I'm adding up horsepower, I'm at about 520 hp. It came from the factory at 460 hp.

I went with the Tony Mamo one. It is around $400 shipped for one that is brand new.

Yeah it does. Mine even gets more dirty because my bottom panel ripped and so I had to remove it. I need to get another one.

Yes I did. It showed up Wednesday. Only took it out of the box to make sure it survived shipping before signing for it. I won out it on till they release the matching sides and rear someday. Unless I might out it on just for a show in August and then remove it again till then.

I think I only told J this but my driver's side wheel panel (covering fog light area as well) ripped off when I was going over a buck.
As it was ripping off violently (also took part of the front cover), it diverted enough air to shake the hood violently (rippling / shaking).
Talk about an o'shit moment.

Everything was good though. I didn't look hard and well for a replacement yet, bc considering doing a lip / splitter that may cover...
But the front cover is only like 20-30 bones.. Thanks GM! #winning

get a kevlar reinforced splitter...
I miss my wagon...the rdx isn't bad but...
you know.

Guys, after driving the RDX I will say that the throttle reponse is what is annoying me most about the wagon...so I will likely be looking into getting mine ported if the guy would do an exchange program.

I see LS2 / LS3 / LS7 TBs.. anyone know the run down on advantage / disadvantage over just getting stock TB ported?
