I have gone to a performance shop named "Willies" in FT HOOD area(KILLEEN TX). the shop asked for $600 Dollars for the cam swap, they said it was a simple procedure and that it would be done in a couple of hours.
It has been a week I have not had my car back. The mechanic told me the installation went smooth and they drove it and it ran strong, but they also said that once the operating temp was reached the began to notice a clanking sound from the crank case. they opened it up and found metal in my oil pan and that my oil pump might of have gone bad. they also said that it could of being a bearing that could of gone bad.
My car was fine when I gave it to him and now he wants to charge me an arm and a leg, he is blaming the ZZP GT1 cam for this. Oh! one more thing. he said that it only clanks when given gas. he told me that the computer might be thrown off by the cam and that this coulb be it.
I dont know what the heck, has any one had this kind of trouble before?
One of the mechanic said a comment that made me look at him with the gaze of death, the fellow stated "I have no Idea why would someone spend any money trying to get power out of a six when all you need to do is get an eight" he said this because I mention getting SS Heads & SS Intake upper/lower.
My Project is to make my 98 A4 TOPLESS firebird a weekend affair, so far this is what I have done.
SLP CAI, K&N Filter, Whisper lid, Jet stage 2 chip, PaceSetter Headers, SLP HIFLO Cat,160 t-stadt,B&M trans cooler, Flowmaster cat back w/resonator. SLP 3.73, SLP STB, S-Bars,LCA,Pan H-bar, BMR SFC, I am running 245/50/16 in the front and 265/50/16 it gives it the dragster look, and now the ZZP GT1 Cam
"There is no cure for the Mod bug!"
I am thinking of the stroker kit but I am waiting on a deal from them so tha I can jump on it.
Beating a V8 with a V6 is Priceless, the look on their faces is definately a kodak moment
If there is any Mod I should consider doing please let me know, but the question still stand. have anyone ever heard of this kind of results?
My daily driver is a 2000 GTP Daytona. SLP CAI, 3" Pulley, WPI/PP mani, 3" DP, HiFLO SLP CAT, Flowmaster Cat back,160 T-stadt,B&M Trans cooler,1.9 Rockers, CYA PCM, SS ZZP intercooler, GMMP(S-bars F/R), SLP lowering springs, KYB shocks, F&R STB, 245/50/16 on all fours. This car is all FUN!
I like to thank you all in advance for any advice for what when wrong!
