well, ive had.. lets see

9 tickets in the last 3 months..

only 3 of which were moving violations,
2 screeching tires, one in my minivan :ack: one in my car,
the one in the van is gonna get thrown out, it has crappy suspension and bald tires
going around a corner at 10 mph, cmon

the other one, was a burnout at my local 7/11, i deserve that one :bstooges:
then i got one speeding ticket, 39 in a 30, kinda gay

the rest of the tickets were crap, like registration light, tinted windows, load exhaust.. lame

anyway, back on topic
i plan on getting just the cam and torque converter just to start,
then the heads and rockers next spring or summer

i know the cam tc setup would run fine,
and give decent gains so thats where to start,
but now that im gonna get the hp program, itll benefit even more.

well see, i dont plan on copying his setup completely, just using it as a base,
something to look forward to. :beerchug:

Sounds good, don't forget all the other goodies you'll need for a cam, but i'm assuming you're having it installed somewhere.

The way i see things, yes i could keep speeding and pay my lawyer to go to court and get it dropped.... but that costs money... and i want to mod this car and buy a bike in the spring so why waste it on legal fees?

i dont plan on driving the car near as much as i have the last 2 years anymore,
ive put 44000 miles on the car since i bought it, barely 2 years ago

so i wont worry about getting to many more tickets if any.
ive screwed around enough, i mean cmon, im gonna be a cop, i need to grow up :bstooges:

Toss in a tweaked pcm to run that cam and you're good to go for a basic cam build. I would strongly consider making the trans your next priority as far as mods go though.

That's a lot to tune all at once.

I'd hold off on this until spring time because its getting cold out, unless you buy a tuner and tune for each season. Otherwise once its warm out again we can spend time tuning your car on various weekends to get a basic tune that will work in the heat and cold.

Overlooked it the first time around...you'll need to add a camshaft bolt and harmonic balancer bolt to your parts list (Intense carries both). Both bolts are torque to yield and shouldn't be reused.
