Got P&p Head W/cam Installed
cant post it on HS cause somethings up but i just got my car back from the shop. i got a p&p head with gude cam, aem cam gear, timing belts, water pump, and the other belts. the car feels good to, it idles crazy like hell but driven wise it feels good. it makes this almost like blow off valve noise....
as for noticen gains, i notice a lot, still haven been able to open it up tho. i have a shift light tach and have it set at 5200 and it gets to that with no prob.
the mechanic i go to said the it was the head package deal from Gude performance ( i guess cause he has seen it a lot, no sure)
but theres always a down side of taken ur ride to the shop, u find out what else u need. found out i need axles (even tho they dont click) and new motor mounts. the axles im not sure about cause another mechanic told me that it was the sway bar bushing cause i dont have none so they click sometimes when i hit a bump or something.
but anyway just wanted to share with accord crew.
peace.........

Lucas Performance?! The same damn Lucas Performance thats listed in the yellow pages with the supra in their ad?! It says their in Beltsville!
So I went to the address that was in the phonebook, and there was no Lucas Performance there Then I called them up and they said they were in Jessup, on Washington Blvd, so I went, and STILL couldnt find it . So now its in Columbia?! Somebody set this straight!

yeah thats it, i dont kno the address for sure but its right off route 1, not sure if it was elk ridge or what but its next door to a Powdercoating company on route 1, maybe that helped.
but i opened it up today, got on the road wnet down (kinda like a highway) went back up and gunned it, then when i slowed down a mazda pro. gets all on my ass, didn notice it til i was cruisen, i said man, i dont have time for that, whatever, then i thought, shit im out here testing it, minest well.......floored it in 4th, started to pull, could tell the mazda floored it but i still was pullin. i pulled like 10-12 cars until i let it go.
then a cavalier wanted to test me.........lol (damn i must have I have new engine mods written all over my head)
so i say **** it and hit it......pulled bout 5 cars until someone jumped infront of me. so i said ill wait til the road opens up, road opens so we both hit it and it wasnt no contest, i was gone, he didnt want anymore after that....lol
so over all, gude head package gives u a nice gain
