Well probably sometime in Jan. I got to pay a ticket and wifeys b-day and Christmas coming up. But if I get some serious OT I will do it asap.

I want to do mine,I don't think their is anyone close by though.
I should check with some of the other people in this area.

Take your time and find someone that knows what they are doing. Its not that difficult just remeber the TDC and use the FSM provided by MSV and you will be fine. Its not as noticeable as Cams or header but every little bit helps.

+10. I didn't do it when I was pulling the head for the rod swap, but I did to it this time. thankfully I had to take off the side cover anyway, and the engine was on a bench instead of a couple engine mounts. haha

Yeah, while it's in the car, it's a fucking disaster.

From what I've seen, if you get a pin that will fit in the little hole, you don't have to remove the tensioner. Maybe you do. I'm not sure. Not dropping the tensioner is definately something to pay the fuck attention to. get some small string and tie it to a hose or something, and to the tensioner, just so you know you don't drop it. It's spring-loaded, so if you don't lock it, it can pop loose and shoot the metal cylander down into the timing cover. no fun at all.

Yeah, that little plunger is what I was talking about, it can pop out on you and go down the motor.  It happened on my spare motor when i was pulling the stock cams and sprockets out.

OK did not dyno yet will try this weekend. My 14 month old son got sick. I will keep you guys posted. When i do I will post a review here and a video in the vids section. (also one here)

Cant wait to c the real numbers, after buying the ims i was very hesitant on buying another wrp product but my friend pulled on me hard on the hwy with it and I had more bolt ons Hurry up and dyno! Lol I've had the sprocket installed for a few monthes and it feels like it lost torque but 5000 to redline feels more aggressive

Butt dyno FTL.....and power output varies from car to car....

That depends if he has baselines to compare to w/o the sprocket, and if he's using the same dyno facility.

I have been using the same facility and I have a tuned pull of 181.5. prior to raised limiter and wrp sprocket. Hopefully I can get at least 4 hp but we will see. Seems like the exhaust just got louder.

any updates on the dyno?
