    You keep saying in your videos that you're not a mechanic. I beg to differ, you're a very GOOD mechanic. This swap and the results are proof.

    Thank for all the great content. You should have done a before and after Chassis Dyno and before, and after 0 to 60. Do a Chassis Dyno now it wold make a great video.

    Good video. Having a separate cam box makes the cam swap process a bit easier in a traverse engine. Or that's the way it looked to me. It is also not too surprising that the cam swap helped since this had a cam that was for emission's. The $200 well spent. I'm loving the X1/9 content.

      Thank you so much! The value can’t be beat!

    Imagine how well that cam would work in conjunction with the extractors you had to remove.

    A before and after dyno pull is the best way to compare. Then you what you got.

      Thanks! It’ll get there but I didn’t have enough safe straight space.

    typically, upgrading the cam requires intake and exhaust modifications to take advantage of the greater lift and duration of the cam

    • @GarageTimeTV
      @GarageTimeTV  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yes. That’s true, but this is a test for just a cam. More could be achieved, but for a weekend car guy this could be enough to wake up a car without deep modifications

    • @jimf5160
      @jimf5160 Před 2 měsíci

      @@GarageTimeTV i agree...however, once you go the trouble of changing the cam, an intake upgrade would be little additional cost and effort.
