    Degreeing stock cams. GTE vs GE.

    Conflicting info here.... The spec for valve events is not very clear. Example. Exhaust valve opens at 53 BBDC and closes 3 degrees ATDC. Is this at a full open/close, @.050 lift, or just as its open/closing? I adjusted my valves and found true TDC with a piston stop. It was...

    car just keep boosting till it hits fuel cut. no boost mods

    You are not a fault here, you dont have to be screwed over. Do not sign ANYTHING if you feel you are not being fairly compensated. If the car is totaled they should release the car to you and pay for the value of the car.

    Post more pictures. I think it would be easier to find a clean shell and swap over the best parts.
