Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!

We think the rev limiter issue has been fixed, as everything else has been looked over, ohmd, tested, etc. The valvesprings couldn't keep up with my cams, especially since they where not properly shimmed, but rather thrown into the head, like most of us would do.

Lag. I don't really care. I like the fact that it's laggy, in all honesty. Regular driving, the car is easy, like a honda, and when I want power, just downshift. You all act like it's soooo hard to find the powerband and drive in it.

Small ass turbos don't make the power I wish for. Plain and Simple. Who knows when I'll stop, but right now I am still working things out.

For a second there, I thought I was reading another swifty bashing thread, not a BUILD/PROJECT thread...

You seem to constantly be working things out. When was the last time you stuck with a setup long enough to even attempt to achieve the maximum potential of that setup? Not hating, just calling it as I see it. You're kind of like a dog chasing a car, but you never catch the car because you start chasing another car that just passed you going the opposite direction.

Please don't try to involve, group the rest of us in your failures. Most of us are not wanna be cool asshats.
