sharkster,

The trick was to get someone who can build a cam from billet using CNC controls. We currently have a company doing it. Todd at Promotive reviewed what we are building and said that as long as the cam pointers are in the same location as the 996tt it will be no problem for him to tune. It will be done on the engine dyno. We intend to tune it for GT30R's and GT40R's. That will require another set of headers and miso parts but, depending on how we are going to play it will be a quick change of a few parts.

 

OK that approach seems reasonable and it's a good thing you're doing the hardware stuff WITH the tuner in sync Sometimes you can go crazy on the hardware side but if you can't get the tuning to support it, what's the use? I hear you on the custom headers etc.. that won't be too hard for Scargo to do but it'll be needed going from two different turbo set ups.

Anyways, I don't care how long it takes (although for your sake I wish is was done already), I got a ride in your car ages ago and that's all I needed I still blame you and your car as the inspiration for all of my subsequent madness. It's mostly you're fault, I'm stuck tweaking these cars It's commendable that you're still knee deep in this thing and haven't given up. Remember what your car was like a few years ago, I've no doubt when it's finished it'll be bad ***.

 

sharkster,

I just wish these cams would get finished. The problem has been that even though I have footed the bill certain people don't seem to want to transmit the info. They want to have it for themselves. I told Rob to politely expalain the facts of life to this person, otherwise it will soob become very expensive for him.

CJV, that really does suck and hopefully that type of nonsense can be resolved and you can finish the car!

 

Can't do that. We haven't hit 150,000 views yet.

 

i think this car is done...and waiting for the final call out for it

 

Obviously you have never done anything new, unexplored if so you would have never made such a comment........

 

You know what though.... when we hit 150,000 just think about all of the extra posts when the car is running

one thing's for sure.. you've been very open about the whole thing where as most people wouldn't be....

 

Chad,

A lot of people are still rooting for you and your team bud.

Can't wait for the final result no matter how long it takes.

All the best.

 

It's hard not to- we can all ***** and moan who long it's taken but the truth is likely none of us would have the patience, the will or the determination to keep at it. I know I would have given up... I got to meet CJV a good few times and what you said is absolutely true and more so if you get to meet him. He is absolutely car-nuts

PS No CJV it's not your wine talking either- my wife LOVES it!

 

Im sorry, I forgot to add some sort of sneeky emoticon...

I said that in jest, saying CJV is just waiting for that one guy who thinks hes a little better than he is. and then CJV will come out of the shadows with a complete KA

I too sit on the dge of my seat waiting for results.

Way to go Chad.

 

Perfection takes time.....I know she will be done right!

 

Thanks for the kind words Phoenix. It is a little frustrating having everything but the cam issue sorted since February. Rob at S Car Go has been very frustrated also. He has worked with this one guy for years and then this happens. On the bright side, I spoke with Rob late last week and he assured me the issue with this particular person (company) has been resolved.

More later this week.

 

sharkster,

I really love the 996tt car. Twenty years from now I will still own KA. When looking at it from that perspective, this little delay is simply a nuscience (sp).
