Welp after the emergency room visit till 2 a.m. on Thursday and being at the CCU 2 towns away friday morning my pops got the all clear. After talking with him for awhile and him saying he was fine. I decided it was alot of planning to just cancel the cam swap this weekend because of a late start. I call up the V man and he says everyone is still down for it. I leave out at about 2:30 for Oklahoma. After what seems like 2 days on the road we arrive at Mcalester. First things first... FOOD. V and G meet up with me and Tara at Chillis. After completely looking over simon (my bad bro) get some food and decide we will start first thing in the morn.
Welp around 8 we get moving and didnt get to Gs place till around 10 because we had to stop at EVERY parts house in town. And V keep blowing off T clamps and spitting on passing cars..... So we get started. Everything goes to plan. At 12 looked like we were on course for being done and running at 3. Thats when we were sent for a pulley puller. G, tara, and I go to Orielys... a few times.. then to atwoods... autozone once or twice.. I think napa... A lil bit of everywhere. Finaly get back with the RIGHT stuff and Chick put some OK style of enginneering into removing the crank pulley bolt with a strap. Once that was out the way. Smooth sailing aside from G having to fight the cam for a while. Then we hit the snags once we thought it was time to rock. Everything was together and ready to go. For some reason the STUPID radio on my truck was stopping V from tuning it. Wouldnt validate. After pulling fuses EVERYWHERE and everything V tried tuning it in low speed and sure enough it worked! Truck fired off and V tuned it great. All and all it was a great time. Had alot of fun and got to hang out with alot of friends that I never get to see. A BIG thanks to G,V, Chick , Simon and the OK boys!
Then to the more disappointing section.... Got home the next day around 2. Got the the local track around 3:30 got the slicks on. DIDNT hook for anything and ran a 14.4. Decided to do one more motor pass before I sprayed it. Ran a 14.2 STILL spinning off the line. Was about to make the first pass with the 100 shot and just baby it off the line to hook up.... Never got to. Check engine light cam on. And with no way to see why. I just called it a day and came home. So right up untill the end it was fun. The cam did what I was expecting. I dont really have enough stall to run it all the way and being a turbo/n2o cam it isnt going to add a ton more power then what I had. The truck is faster. I just need to get it all lined out on traction to prove it. I feel a 13.7 is possible on motor. A high 12 easy if I ever get to spray! haha.
