The damper must be seated all the way before torquing the bolt. There is a tool to do this. Trying to pull the damper on with the bolt will not bottom it. That is why it comes loose. It wasn't assembled properly.
How high were the intake charge temperatures? The engine becomes more knock sensitive with elevated temperatures and pulls spark and adds fuel to compensate. If I remember correctly this starts to happen about 95 degrees F intake charge temp.
Chassis dynos are notorious for not having...
Chris unhooked the rear swaybar for the wet skid pad and he is deeply regretting it. The car oversteered badly resulting in the poor performance. But he is a man possessed and with some help will knock Davia off the top of the heap.
After working on these engines for the last couple of years I would venture to say that you should be able to pull some fuel out, maybe quite a bit, at top end with headers. I never got the chance to run any headers but I would expect them to want the exhaust cam timing to have an earlier...
Never,EVER put a cam in without degreeing it in (unless it's your lawnmower). There can be significant power to be had so make sure it is correct. A stock '00-'06 cam should have the intake centerline at 120-122. You will find a lot of them at 127-128 and it kills the torque curve down low...
The engine is basically the same design but many features are very different. The fasteners are now all metric. The pushrod angle has changed. The lifter bores have rotated upward with respect to the cam bore centerline to straighten out the pushrod angle. The oil pump is larger and the way...
