very good, the lumpyness and slowing down issue is more easy to drive around than the 185 was. Just run the cams in extending the revs a little more each week. There are some entirely new cavalry charge trumpet tunes beyond 4.5k to 7.2k.

Jamsport told me cams didn't have to be 'run in' as they'd already hammered the hell out of them all day on the rolling road!

Glad you're enjoying the new setup

Yeah, I spoke to Doug about it, he said by the time I got home they should be fine (so about 180 miles), but just don't go crazy red lining the engine for 2-3 days. So not sure.

Well done

It does make some luverly noises, and even in traffic the kangaroo tends to disappear if you can just keep it being fed a little bit
Just needs a lower gear than you are used to.

I must say, I'm glad I didn't go for the 185 over the 165 originally, the past few days driving in heavy stop start traffic have been tiresome with the cams. I'm still getting the hang of it.

I've also come across a bit of a weird problem. My car doesn't seem to like revving when I'm rev matching changing down gears. It just seems to rev by 400rpm then fall again no matter how hard I jab the accelerator. Very strange :/

wouldnt that be something to do with the Tornado effect the Inlet manifold creates?

just need to clutch earlier and a bit more anticipation and a wee bit of freewheeling.

can you explain above clearer
