Low numbers after cam install
- Thread starter NateDogg
- Start date
It was discussed when I dropped the car off that these were custom spec'd cams and they needed to be degreed. I'm working with them to get it done.
Unfortunate for me. I ordered these cams July 2021. Waited a year for them to show up, and waited on the shop to get them installed because they were busy. Now I have to wait even longer to get them redone..... Very frustrating.
Man that's tough. Hope the get you set up right
Its all good as long as its right when I get it back.
They'll be working on it next week, so hopefully I'll have some good news then.

I guess I should clarify that was just the exhaust cams. Once they were brought into spec the intakes were dead on. Obviously if the exhaust was off 9 degrees and once fixed the intake was correct, then the intake was off 9 degrees to start with too.
At least you're making some progress with the shop. I'm really surprised they didn't degree them after you specifically told them it had to be done. This shop is high regarded? 
I'm really hoping you get this done painlessly from this point to completion.

Sorry to hear your troubles Nate. If it wasn’t so far of a drive for you I wish you went to MHS and had Jordan so your cams. I hope it all works out for you and I can hear it in person.
Curious, any updates?
Nothing yet. I plan to call for an update today or tomorrow.
Hoping for some good news.

Let us know what you find out Nate.
Anything, sir?
Talked to them on friday, Cams are good to go. re inspected all hoses and bypass to ensure there was no nicks or cuts in them.
They also did a compression check just in case. All cylinders were within in 5PSI of each other. So that was reassuring. Was told they would start the tuning Monday or today. Hoping for good new sometime this week. I'd really like to be able to drive it this weekend!!

Fingers crossed for you bro!
Hopefully good news soon!
So they actually degreed them this time? What did they find after inspecting everything? I hope they're not charging you extra for this after you told them they had to be degreed. Best of luck and fill us in on the process.
That's who I plan on taking mine to when I am ready to do cams.
Any updates, Nate? I hope everything is going well, or did go well, at the shop.
Car is still dropping boost at 4k rpms.
Sounds like a failed boost bypass. Others had the exact same symptoms. So I ordered another one from whipple.
Also ordered a new tensioner to rule out any belt slip that maybe occurring.
The wait continues.

I hope that's the case. Easy enough fix. Hang in there bro, it will all be worth it.
Guilty, same reason I have them. Would I say I regret it no, dollar for dollar waste kind of. I stopped messing with the car, WOT is pretty much pointless and gets me in trouble.
Like above hang in there. You're not a true car guy without a nightmare story.
