Default My Sumbich gets a Sumbich!

Haha, well the title really should read my "Failed Wiggle test after owning the car for two weeks leads to WCCH/Cam/Headers/Corsa and K&N Cold air"

This will serve as my log to keep updates in. I bought the car with 69K miles out of Miami. She was pretty well taken care of, definitely not a garage queen but still in great shape.

I also want to start off by saying I didn't buy into the head issues hype I wasn't even going to bother checking mine but figured it was to easy of a check to not do it. Turns out my guides were well past service tolerance.. So time to get heads done and anyone that knows me knows I cant crack into an engine and not put a cam in. So since not only my heads were bad but three other guys in our little group also had bad guides. We talked to Kevin at vengeance and they had two sets of WCCH's on the shelf and had two more already at WCCH so We decided to get everything through them.

I pulled the trigger on the Sumbich (247/258 .661/.652 112+4) It should be a beast of a cam. Didnt milled the heads much .010 and went with a c5r timing chain and trunion upgrade... Im not sold on the C5r timing chain, its the most expensive chain ive ever bought so time will tell. I also replaced the lifters while I had it apart.

Heres a few Pics and Open header startup vid on the stock tune, Ill have full exhaust on it tonight and get another video.

c5r chain is well worth it. Jon6.0 did a cam and didn't replace his chain, few thousand miles later is snapped. He regrets not doing the c5r chain.

Same here David, thanks for the hospitality it was great to meet you guys and check out the shop!

It was all we could do to get Josh to sleep Saturday night after returning with all the parts Saturday.

After hearing the Z while we were there and hearing Josh's I can't wait to get mine up and running.

I take it that the headers were open? Sounds almost to radical for a open road car. How does it drive at low speed? You may need a clutch soon as well.

We havent taken it out yet, its got to get back down to Mike @vengeance for a tune. We got the rest of the exhaust put back on and it quieted it down a little. the mild to wild is drastically different! At WOT its going to be STUPID! haha cant wait!

David, It was great meeting you and Ron cant wait to get back down for the tunes. Hope Mike is making out alright! Hope hes getting some sleep!!

Thats good to hear! We will definitely have ALOT more videos coming. we will also have plenty of video comparisons on drivability and answer the most important question how bad does the Sumbich spank the Kaotik!

Heres a vid from last night playing with the mild to wild, Its still untuned so expect it to change a little

This was our first time dealing with them and I have to say they really helped us out. David, Kevin,Ron and Mike have been excellent to deal with, One of our sets of heads came back from WCCH damaged and kevin has been jumping through hoops to get it resolved. The really do stand up to the reputation.

I'd like to refer to it more like HOW WELL the Kaotik stacks up to that big Sumbich.
