Might want to visit our Photography page on Facebook....Black Framed Gallery. Kathy and I have quite a collection of photos...even have a Car Album to leaf through...

Thanks for asking,

I will check it out for sure! I am glad you are doing well!

Phone pic, cams are in and heads are done. Before firing it up the garage is installing the 3.91s, should be ready tomorrow morning. Going to plug the tune and put it on the dyno to see how much horsepower Z/LE puts down

Received the car, amazing sound! Cancelled the dyno run since the tune need to be adjusted and I need to do some tune logging to send forward to Ted@JRE, until then I have to drive the car slowly to avoid any engine failures. Anyone with a cam installed, I have a question for you guys. My oil pressure is at 1.0 bars or 0.9 at idle, it goes to 2.1bars at 2000rpm . Is this normal? Or is it something to do with the tuning process? Thanks I'd appreciate your answers

Oil pressure isn't effected by the tune that I know of, the pump is mechanical. That sounds a little low to me. I'll have to check my car next time I'm in it, but when I converted your numbers to PSI they seemed lower than mine. Not sure if VVT effects it. Check with Ryan/Rhino at GPI

It seems normal on other threads. Thanks for checking bro, I will try logging the tune tonight and see how it goes.

Couple of updates :
Sent the data logging files to Ted@JRE and hopefully the tune will be ready within a day or so.
Going to install the BMR drop springs as soon as I get the chance to do so.
Same goes to the 3D carbon fender vents.

Thanks a lot kurt!

The tune is ready, I will need to re-tune the car and do some WOT runs to see how it performs

Going on the dyno on thursday to see how much HP Z/LE puts down

Thanks bumblebee! Tuned the car and I am amazed with the power and acceleration! I want to thank Ted Jannetty and Ryan from GPI for their amazing services and help.

Going to have a photoshoot tomorrow after I install the lowering springs and rear wheel spacers for a wide stance

Dyno graph attached, the fuel is lean based on my knowledge. I was hoping for 450+whp, I will try to post the dyno video later on
