Default Jim Mock Parts Complaint

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a Dev3hl cam and the heavy duty springs. They went in with a little but not too much drama, and play well with my chiptorque chip, my vernier gear and exhaust.

My greatest complaint is, now its too bloody hard to stay under the speed limit!!!

:hihi:

Ute will make its first run down the drags on Sunday hopefully, times to follow soon. Im thinking mid 15 is easily on the cards.

If there is a bright side to anything in my life, its probably because the house is on fire.

Bright sides are way over-rated. The euphoria generally means your oblivious to the inevitable stuff up.

Think the Glass is half full and your likely to be short changed, think the same glass is half empty and your starting from a basis that can occasionally improve.

I helped dave install the springs/cam etc. One complaint. Not a JMM complaint, but whoever at Ford decided to use metal circlips in their lifters deserves to be shot.

More like I helped you and Johnnydepp install the cam and springs, glad you guys were there, and you did a great job! Atleast the BBQ worked out well! Stick with what I know I figure :P

And its not that bad they used metal circlips on the AU lifters. I dunno about you eseries boys, you want to use zip ties for everything! :
