good to know and the motor we think it has less miles tag on the motor is a year newer so i think it has about 40,000 on it

ChrisJ · November 12th, 2006, 10:59 AM

Mine had 40K on it when it hydrolocked...lol

As long as you get a good safe tune you will be fine...

Is your car a DD? If so tell him to keep the tune very safe and explain to the tuner that your car is a DD...Or if you just want him to keep the tune really safe then tell him it is your DD...That way they will not put as much timing in it...And it will last alot longer...

An agressive tune wont last in a DD or a car that is driven really often with a stock bottom end...

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 11:02 AM

i dont know what a dd is sorry tell me and i will explain

ChrisJ · November 12th, 2006, 11:06 AM

DD = Daily Driver...

If you drive the car to work and such and it is your only transportaion then it is your DD...

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 11:09 AM

no i got the in 04 in the summer with almost 52,000 on it

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 11:10 AM

ChrisJ · November 12th, 2006, 11:12 AM

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 11:27 AM

ChrisJ · November 12th, 2006, 11:29 AM

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 11:36 AM

ChrisJ · November 12th, 2006, 11:43 AM

Well with spray you can run around with 300rwhp and be happy...But at the track or whatever you can spray it for that extra 100+ instant rwhp...

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 11:48 AM

i put one of the g-meter in the car i hope it will give me a idea

95opal · November 12th, 2006, 04:00 PM

Do not go with patriot heads they are pure crap. Look into VT, MPH, STEEN they are some of the best. As far as cams go think about the whole package and the goals for the car before wasting your money on mismatched garbage that isnt going to meet your goals.

sonicblue · November 12th, 2006, 05:29 PM

theres nothing wrong with patriot heads at all

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 05:36 PM

search around you will see. When patriots first came out they were good but once they got hit with a huge demand there quility went to crap. There are numerous posts all over the net on how poor the patriots are. Its not hard to find the cold facts about these heads. The heads I listed previously are far superior to the patriots.

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 05:45 PM

me and you will sit down and go over this

95opal · November 12th, 2006, 06:03 PM

VT stage 1 or 2 heads w/ a MPH custom cam or talk w/ them about there heads and get a package from them. If your staying NA custom cam is the way to go.

mjkids · November 12th, 2006, 06:17 PM

vt custom cams what do you think about them

95opal · November 12th, 2006, 06:50 PM

Again VT, MPH, STEEN, all excellent. MPH 2.5s for heads W/ a VT Cam and a ported built or p-51 intake or wait for the new TFS.
