    Just sayin.....

    And/or the one's that did buy them would b*tch about something......

    I think these int. shafts are a ways off. Think of how hard it is to find 3.50FD sets for a hybrid trans right now. None of us want to pay for that to be made yet and there is probably a much greater demand there. I think we are about 2 years off from the 525 ring gears being reasonable for guys to pay for, but by that time how many will be left?

    Re: Laser XE coming back

    A couple people asked me how well my engine idled with the new cam, so I shot a short video. This is at about 850 rpm.............

    You can hear the noise of the solid lash adjusters when the camera is close to the valve cover. the lash is set at .014int. and .016ex.

    Re: Laser XE coming back

    I'm surprised it runs at all with that hacked up wiring job. (I felt that needed two winks)


    That sounds pretty dang smooth Warren. Do find the throttle response is better with the ITBs?
