Tune needs some tweaking.
Went from a G5X3 114 to Texas Speed MS4.
But here's the new soundtrack

The swap was more of a repair than an upgrade. I don't have any real world numbers yet, but on the butt dyno. the MS4 feels stronger when in it's powerband so far. Not selling the LG, it's a paperweight.

Sure, Caddy Racing lifters vs Camshaft, the cam lost the battle. Both got worn prematurely.

Odd, it couldn't get over the lip into the garage.














Just kidding!!! Great sound, but I wonder about the numbers after a good tune. Just curious.
