Hmm idk there's lots of dyno sheets that show differently but either way it doesn't matter I'll just stick with stock.

Should I replace the oil pump or do anything else when I'm all up in there? I know I need to replace my pan gasket. Someone said it would be a good time to do it

I am very smart with it. I do get on it occasionally but I never launch it, I purposely have **** tires that get 0 traction and I don't slam on it in 2nd 3rd or 4th to the point it downshift. So pretty careful I think. How much hp were you pushing when you did that?

Gesus. Ya that's deffinately more power then I'll be putting down with e85 and an s1x. Plus I only have 100k miles on the car and it was a grandma that drove it before me, and it was a gt so no real power, andddd all the fluids were perfect when I got it, so it wasn't a neglectful grandma lol

I haven't heard anyone on gpf ever talk about having to "degree" the cam when installing but I just want to make sure that's not something I need to do? Thanks

While you're in there I'd go ahead and change the oil pump

Thanks I've been wondering that. Most people seem not to care but its a pretty cheap part so I don't see why not.

I've actually had two pumps fail. Seen a few other people with pump failures. While its that far apart I'd see it as cheap insurance.

Is there a certain brand you've found to be the best quality?

I can't imagine a situation that would be more important than 500-1000k dollars and atleast a whole weekend of my life to replace an engine lol
