My screw went to the shop and my scab got sold finally.
my truck is still up and running. Not much to post other than oil changes lol. I haven't done much else. Trans might be on its way out. I give it 6 more months.

All my efforts have been wrenching and tuning my ctsv. I started to learn how to tune

Yep. I'm really liking their product and licensing model. I was hoping the scanner could also pull the tune from my truck since my x4 got stolen. Haven't tried yet, but it doesn't appear our truck computers are supported.

Does anyone know if adding a mild street cam to PI heads when doing a PI swap onto a NPI block is doable with piston to valve clearances and will it add any power? (or potential for so)

Depends on how mild they are. Mine were fine. But mine were custom ground

Well when I get to the point where I'm actually looking at buying the cams (though more than likely not this year or the next) I want to get cams that will have some throat and rasp to them, almost in the style that people throw in their old hot rods that give it that "klickity klackity" sound but toned down some. I would want it to be noticeable but not to the extreme like the mother thumper cams.

A sneaky squirrel was tampering with your truck and pouring coolant into where you thought it was leaking into
