So, standard or blackened? Just curious. They are easy to take off and put on so I can change them around if I want. And a gratuitous pic of a sweety with the same year and color as mine: <a href="http://s59.photobucket.com/user/rx7turbo929/media/hot%20mama%20and%20cayman_zpsvytjo1xq.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g293/rx7turbo929/hot%20mama%20and%20cayman_zpsvytjo1xq.jpg</a> View Quote I like the blackened look, myself. |

Definitely a clean install? Have you had it on a dyno or track since the install?

I live in West Texas, so quite a bit of dust for commuting within the city limits of an urban area...
My car looks like I was prerunning some Baja routes if I leave the garage open during a windy night. I have heard good things about Chemical Guys, might have to order some products. Thanks for the tip. |

My car is currently insured as "storage" due to seasonal changes. So I haven't been driving it.
After I installed it, I took it around the block and I did notice that the surging/bucking was smoother at 1500 RPMs. My cam has a 110 LSA with 25 degree of overlap. My NW 102 TB and Halltech MF108 just got delivered and installed yesterday when I took that picture. It'll need a retune for sure before I can really get a feel for how it will drive. The install is straightforward. The build quality on it is so-so. There was a lot of excess plastic on the mold lines. I trimmed and sanded all those down. But if it makes the power that it's supposed to, then I'm a happy camper. |
