it might be a little loud for some people, but not horrible. I still need to pick up a 45* bend to finish up my tailpipe and run it out under the bumper.

Re: I never claimed to be a welder (aka Don's Turbo Build)

UPDATE: well, it warmed up enough this weekend that I could lay on the garage floor and not fall victim to frostbite. pulled the tank, drained the old gas, and installed the walbro. fired it up, neglected to adjust my fuel settings, and fouled the plugs. cleaned the plugs and got it to idle nice but...

Alright, I've ordered new performance springs and retainers just in case, I don't want to have to do this again. Jazzman on Old Europe mentioned the spring Dampners as a possible interference issue, do you happen to know if they'll have to be trimmed down with this cam? Don't use the old dampners w...
