status is about the same as it was. which is on me, working 12-14 hr days and trying to renovate my house soaks up too much time, ive just come to realise that weeks have turned into months lol. plus paul has been busy knocking out some jobs that have been cueing up behind this. On the plus side its driving awesome with just a basic road tune

status has changed. in between work and reno's we managed to get half a tune in it. made 327kw on 19psi on 98 octane. seems to be making power easily to a point, but i dont understand much about the ecu side of things, so i wont attempt to explain a small issue with it. but yeah its getting there. cheers for the comments

I'd say which ever cam you had, the guy tuning the car would make the difference

Same duration, tx2 has around 10 thou more lift , and 117 versus 114 lsa **** knows whats better, i think the tighe stuff is a quick lift cam like there smaller stuff. but the tx2 has a wider lobe separation so that in itself would pick up spool and midrange a bit i think you'd have to test them back to back. I just got a mate to get a 996 to try, should be good, better than his girly 210@.50 jobby with a 3540/66..lol cheers darren
