Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Just wanted to say I just finished the install of my custom ground cam from Greg Hogue and took her out to break it in two nights ago. While I had her apart, I bumped the timing up to 17*, put on a Scotty II, 4" exhaust, did some port work on the head, and threw in a 3k GSK. Truck started right up, and after an initial adjustment of the #6 exhaust valve, it ran SMOOTH. Kept it under 1500 until it got warm, shut it off, cooled down, then took her back out. Warmed up slowly again, then finally got into it a little. Seems like there's a ton of air, and my turbo's spooling like crazy. Still taking it easy, but the truck is running great and can pull over 3k rpm w/ no problem. I'll keep this updated as I beef up the transmission and finally get some fuel to match the airflow, and maybe get to a dyno. Greg was great through the build up and answered or found the answer to every question I had from the cam install to timing questions. Great customer service. -Josh
