Thread: Acid's 2005 Top Swapped GT: S2X Cam Install

You could always just shim your hood in in the rear like I did:

his hood should close with only a SSIC

Eddie us right. I just need to adjust latch and get hinges that aren't bent.

Installed a boost gauge in the car. Looks like 9psi on the 3.5, f yeah flow mods.

looks good! i personally would have bought an a-pillar gauge pod from zzp and installed gauges there ive always been a fan of gauges on the a-pillar lol

Saw my first KR last night since IC install. 72* out, low humidity WOT was 4.5* =/ only one time.

Thanks!

I will get one when I get the AEM WB and PLX

make sure you get their more expensive one because the cheaper one has been reported to warp in high temperatures. they say they fixed that problem with the more expensive one. i think its around $80, but its worth it since its specifically made for our cars lol.

So it would seem that I have developed lifter noise in the front head. Oh well I will change them out when I do the cam in the spring

sleeping monster.


sometimes i think about how much fun it'd be to sleep my car.

but i like showing off too much sometimes lol

Have spoken to many with strange issues with only certain brands and grades of oil.

I've been using castrol edge 10w30. I put 5w30 in this time. Still there. Its sooooo faint if it gets worse I will worry.

Independing testing proves Castrol Edge to be as good or better for less $$

The IC alone no, but the 3.5 YES!

I run a canned ZZP top swap tune BUT, I have the stage one blower cam from Intense that I am selling and will be buying the XP cam with new lifters. This will go in around april/may so I will invest in the $500 tune then.
