Been a member since Dec 03 when I bought my first Evo and just recently left the ranks of newbie. Never really had much to say. See you when you get back.

Thanks...hey, with the cams inbound...and install soon after..all you guys with cams...did you bleed your lifters? I have been reading up, and it's highly recommended to avoid the ticking sound after the install. Just wondering....I'll prob head over to fayetteville for the install, just wanted to know...

you can or you cant... but you should.... i have seen plenty of valves get bent bc of not bleeding... if you dont bleed them you should turn the crank by hand a couple revolutions.. but if it makes any difference to you... all of the cams we install have the lifters bled... how bout this... dont worry with it... bring it to us and get a tune and you will smile the whole way home

Thats already in the works Justin

Psquared is another one of my tuning victims... he just doesnt advertise

Bleed the lifters..., but if you were planning on having them installed here, we will bleed them anyway, but if you go to the same shop up there in J-ville, make sure they bleed them. They've installed 2 sets already and they seem to be running fine though, so whatever they do is working as well.

he'd actually pick up about 50 total i'd bet... he is adding a bit more than the cams

but i understand what you mean man... its better to do it down here then have to drive untuned with those things and deal with stalling issues

Or if he comes up on a situation like mine where I couldn't get out there for an extended period, to do install and tune, or you are unavailable to do both in a row he could get the install done here. I can then log and send to you and you can return a flash he can use to get to Fayetteville for the real tune. I would have preferred to get the install done by you guys but time and situation here would not allow it. This is worst case scenario but definitely gives him options.

Just got back from Delaware for the Hoildays. Hope everyone had a safe and Merry Christmas. Well Santa wasn't that good to the EVO. Had to bail on the clutch cuz I need tires....BAD! Bob glad to hear that your joining the Cossi Club. You'll love them. Make sure you bleed the lifters! Ben you and I have to get together and throw that stuff on the car. Let me know when you got some free time. Last thing, if anyone is going to be in the area for the UFC fight this Sat. I'm ordering it, so anyone is more than welcome to come. I have a few buddies that come over for every fight, but the more the better.

How did the car do on the way home Nick? What do you think of the ECUflash and EvoScan?
