Two steps closer, one step back
 

I was all excited when the UPS truck showed up today and this package arrived.

All is fine and well, right? As it says on the packing slip from RRE I checked out the contents. Here is what I saw when I looked at the two boxes.

Can anyone see anything wrong?

Damn dude, that must be for one of those new quad cam 4g63. Now you just need two intake cams ;)

sounds like this is going around a lot lately...

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

After what I spent on these I just want my intake cam. :(

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

He got those cams in a box of "junk", I got these straight from RRE. I emailed them immediately after noticing the mistake, which was within minutes of opening the box and a half hour of the package arriving at my door. Then Jacquie called me within 10 minutes of me emailing them and appologized. They were going to send me an intake came today along with a return shipping label for the other cam, but found out they had already sent out all of the cams. So now they're trying to figure out who out there got two intake cams... Story of my life.

how did you get the 280's so early!? I was hoping to get some asap, but i was told that there is a long waiting list for those damn things!

Matt is just special.

Oh well, its not like they are going to be used this year anyway right?;)

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

I sure hope RRE packed them better than that?

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

That is exactly how they were shipped, surprised the hell out of me too.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

I heard they were getting some and contacted them over two months ago. And here they are. :D

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Good way to get a broken cam shaft.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

That's the exact opposite of how everything I have received from RRE has ever been packed. Usually there is so damn much packing material that it takes 5 minutes just to get to the goodies.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

I could have got you some a week or so ago, might still be able to. I offered a set to grubby, but he didn't bite.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Damn Matt, you can't catch a break. If I were you, I'd say to hell with DSM's. :D

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Sorry to hear/see that dude. But just think about when you are putting up a .wav of the car's idle. It will be good.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Along with a .jpg of my middle finger for the naysayers who said it would never run. It will be very good.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

A buddy of mine from the east coast just got his. Didn't sound like he had any problems with shipment. I was hoping to get a set, but grass, a deck and a hot tub took first priority over the finances. :-)

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

You city folk and your grass, hell my yard will probably be a corn field. :D

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Not to get waaaaaay off topic, but does anybody know if they require double springs, good single springs or if stock will do?

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Considering people run 272s on stock springs with no problems, I doubt you need double springs for the 280s. I have Crowers in my head so we'll see how that works. :)

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

I have crower springs/retainers with 415's and didn't have a problem, so 280's won't have an issue.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Don't give up man, almost there!

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Grats dude, I dont wanna jinx it but wouldnt it be funny if they sent you another exhaust cam. LOL

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Or any cam other than a 280.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

meh..i'll take it..run a good 'ol 264/280 combo lol!

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Good Luck Matt, I want to see that car running by the end of the summer!

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Ya, hope it works out. I don't want to push that thing around your apartment parking lot ever again!

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

It's hiding in a garage now. :)

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

I got the correct cam today! Sending the extra exhaust cam back tomorrow and beginning the longblock assembly as well.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Thats good to hear!

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

You should send me your extra exhaust cam, my new one has dowel issues.

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

ouch

Re: Two steps closer, one step back
 

Too much torque. ;)
