Perhaps if someone hadn't dropped by and distracted you for an hour on Saturday you could have gotten it in :suspect:Quote:

^Worth the distraction. Always nice to speak with fellow enthusiasts:D. Hopefully I can head your way for some fun on the Dragon sometime.
Somehow, I feel that my sister and niece didn't quite share our enthusiasm lol
You should come to BRG. Lots of people, lots of booze, and riding the Dragon. It's what all the cool kids do.
Your drive is inspiring.Quote:

Any issues degreeing-in the BC cam/gear combo? Are those 272's?
When is BRG?Quote:

Added benefit over 272 is a bit more lift, assuming my stock heads can take advantage. The .050 duration really isn't that extreme compared to race oriented options on other platforms. I could get the old 280's to idle fine, so the mirrored cam fix should only be an improvement.
The duration at .050" didn't quite match the cam card. (Can be inaccuracy in how you measure from the top of retainer.) I was undecided if I should match the lobe center to what BC recommends (stock), the opening event or combo. Ultimately I tried to match the .050" overlap front and rear so that both should have about the same compression. On my setup, 3 cams ended up at +4ish. Front exh cam was +1. For those not familiar with degreeing, this is my setup only. Difference in deck and head resurface plus tolerance stackup on cams and gears and even the limitations in measurement process (degree wheel to true zero, measuring duration off retainer, etc), all make a difference.
After break-in, I will readjust if there are any compression differences front and rear and call that my new "zero." Will adjust from there to suit powerband using virtual dyno.
Can't wait to hear how these sound with the 4" aluminum mufflerless exhaust I am building. I know it's ricer, but that is half my motivation right now!
BC springs, retainers, cams, and gears. Now I just need the BC stroker! Too bad I don't think it fits in a 2-bolt. If I'm going 4bolt, 6g74 is just as easy and costs less.
Not sure that the date has been finalized yet. There is a thread on the forum in the events section about it I think, as well as a facebook group (if you facebook.) Think there's also a standard website somewhere but haven't looked.Quote:

Rear wastegate fitment is almost like it was planned;).........

Can probably run it as is, but will likely snake an extension down under subframe and back.
Alternator mounted, but not much else. Travel for work for a few days, so won't get back at it until this weekend. Hopefully atx intermediate shaft will be here by then also.
Have you run your car much open exhaust? It gets pretty dirty under there ;)
Back when I had open dumps on JPDC adapter plates I used shitty flexible steel exhaust pipe to extend them... It actually worked just fine.
Was thinking about a flexible pipe. Would definitely be easy from where it is now. Seems like cheating though since I have the welder:)
