It didn't sound good to me at all. Like Tommy said though, the way the sound is, it is hard to really tell what is going on.

Still doesn't sound good though.

What is the next plan/upgrade?

Steigemeier and a big hook up from APR. Im actually gathering packing material as i type and want to take out the blower off the truck today. Hopefully send it out too.

I really wanted to do the valve body upgrade first. You can tell it needs it...with the extra acceleration it has now.

Here it is. The damage. Seems like the bearing on the drive side of the rotor pack must have gone bad or something but either way this could have been quite fatal. Well its gone and on its way.

Ok. so they have it and the list goes as follows:

Front drive rebuild
Venom cooler
Light weight rotors
Stage 6 porting with the TB and spacer
Throttle plate rework

With the OD kit and the 2.6 she should be spinnin at about 16k and i believe he said he was gonna add some timing to the gears. The speed was not a concern since u only hit that when u get up redline. Asked about the snakebite but he said that would be insane. It is a 30% increase in rotor speed. No no...

I look forward to the results of this.

Thanks Xru!!!

I am quite curious to see how much an improvement in cooling there is, as well as performance. How long is the wait?
