This Cam is super radical on the street and my crank up at 530AM is deafening. It was already way loud but now... I'm buying a mini-truck from Jerry tomorrow... |

Great Thread
Robert,
I took the time today to sit and read your thread from page 1 to here! Man what a great story! I can't wait to ride along side you guys on the way to Chandler this April!

I wouldn't trade any of it... and it's only going to get better... I can't wait for the Fest... I had to miss it last year due to a change in my work schedule, but after what I've done to get the car ready for this one, well, lets just say I'll be there, car or no....Several people already offered to allow me to ride with them if my car wasn't ready... I hope it doesn't come to that, but if it did, I'ld still go and share some incredible time with others... I'll see you in less than three weeks...

I sent a request for a general feel of Brandi this early in the drive and break in period...
This is Corey's answer... I'm stoked... The clutch "feels" great at the pedal. The engagement is very livable, not too chattery, easy to drive. But you can tell it's a not joke setup. The motor feels SOLID, and the turbo's sound BIG. No sissy boy high pitched whine when they start to turn. These things should lay out the boost. I of course have not put it into boost yet, but you can make them spin a little and not get into trouble. :-) The rear suspension is TIGHT. A little bouncier than before perhaps, and you hear 100% of the noise the differential makes. Other than that it's a ***** cat. He is going to try some different differential lubricant to quieten it down... But I am way excited and I wish I was on the way home already...

Quit looking at the clock
If you did drop springs, might need to time the bushings, some have complained of a 'bouncy' feel after dropping it.

Yep. Well, with my drop springs, it's usually pretty tight and will stick to the ground. But every once in a while, I'll hit a bump and that back end bounces up and down a few times. I REALLY only noticed it once. The ride is a lot tighter with those drop springs, though.

Busty Brandi
With those two big turbos and the mellow sound coming out the back I think you are going to be pleasantly shocked Robert when you throw the go go juice at Brandi. She is gonna light up like a Christmas tree. I bet the fuel economy won't be too bad either...if you can keep your foot out of it. But...with that thing spooling up it is going to be tempting at every light. Have a safe trip home...your baby awaits. BTW... great teaser video. Cant wait to see her on the dyno.
