Jewish and lovin it.
I am getting really close to cam install time. I am pretty much just waiting on my SCT tuner, and a little bit more cash. They say that when you get close to your wedding you have second thoughts, and right now I feel the same way. I do most of my work myself with the help of my buddy (DGK on the forums), but unfortunately the necessary specialty tools are not much cheaper than a professional install. As of now, I am planning on having BBR install the cams and tune the car. A couple of reputable people have said great things about BBR, and I feel pretty confidant (regardless of a recent post that I read). I just need some second opinions.
1. Only from people who have personally had their car worked on and tuned by BBR, how was the experience?
2. Only from people who have installed aftermarket cams, do you recommend the VVT lockouts, or the phaser limiters. BBR recommends the lockouts. They say that the phaser limiters have been known to break, and from what I know, any failure in the valve train is catastrophic. What do you recommend? What kind of power did you make? What other supporting mods did you have. Also, if you had the lockouts installed, which direction did you go with them? What were the results?
I am not looking for any bullshit responses. Only personal experiences please. I am tired of ridiculous stories about a forum member's friend's mother's half-sister's second cousin's husband having a bad experience. Also, I don't want world war III.
Thanks for all your help
