After. Not a HUGE difference, but they're a lot darker. The small white dot is the led bulb.

I'm not sure what brand the old ones were, I got them off ebay.

Oh, btw, that ticking has gotten quieter...it's still there, but not as noticeable. I got the rocker arm clips so we can take a look at it sometime. At least it's not getting louder...

Do you or Micro have a smartphone? You should try that PocketDyno program before and after the PCMforless tune.

Me either...find somebody you know? I don't know, it sounds like theres going to be no other way for you to tell what kind of hp you got out of the PCM tune and thats the cheapest way to at least get some kind of a measure.

I want to get her on a dyno in the spring and see. I think Case said a run on one might cost like $50 since I only want to see numbers, won't need them to do anything or adjust anything. Just have to find a place. I'm really curious to what she'll be putting out after the tune. But I need to get that lifter problem fixed first. It's annoying as hell. I also want to get new gears and get rid of the cat before the dyno. Then she might be ready for the track finally by the summer.

Don't need it for emissions down there or what? I always wondered how people got away with running no cat...
