Rflow runs without ECU..will check my AFRs and everything anyways...ECU upgrade next week...I just wanna run the beast...
Need to punish those Kleemann, Evotech 55 and 65s and mod M5 with M6
: anyone who dares LOLI hope those Cams will deliver in long WOT runs
Bad things that they Cams wont be installed today...so I would have race with current set up...
Well that means...heads and cams will be done together...

You should be fine. Seems like ole Rocket and me were the only ones that needed custom tuning so far. Besides the guys that just elected to get it done.
Let us know what ya think and good luck Mike!!

Give the man a chance to drive it a bit and get used to it.. lol..
Remember, the last time he saw the car, it was only showing 470rwhp on the dyno.. its going back showing 570rwhp... it's gonna be a bit different for Jim since the last time he drove it.

Thanks bud! Yeah.. I am loving the sound it makes.. The next VR700 car you will hear with this setup will have custom VRP mufflers in the back.. That should really wake up the neighbours.
I think we are at the maximum with lift on these cams. We went pretty aggressive.. If we go any bigger I think there will be binding in the valvetrain.. I am looking into it though.. Maybe rocker change...
That should really wake up the neighbours.

With my idle down so car was super lumpy, the car would just sit in traffic and the WHOLE car would rock. Had to hold the car brakes down hard.
I'll never forget looking over at people staring at the car is shock.
Sounds dumb but best memory is at a McDonalds drive thru. The wall on the left acted like an amp for the lumpy cam. Imagine an E55, bone stock, sitting in line to snag a drink and the entire car rocking back and forth and REALLY making lump noise. People were stopping and staring on their way in.
Good times.......

Just called pretty violent over this and they are tracking down the driver now. Think he might have had some engine trouble coming through the mountains.
Just my luck.
Will keep you updated.
