Bought a new CAM sensor... Same deal, limp mode in around 2nd with a misfire on every cylinder. Not sure what's going on, I think I am going to check the harness and then the ECU.

Got my first kill though... I had been looking for someone to run with for a while but no one popped up when I would be driving. My wife was having her first ride in the car yesterday and I was taking it easy with some pulls in 2nd. Well we stop at a stop sign and in my rearview I saw a 2011-2013 STi... This has been the moment I was waiting for because even though they are sweet little cars (that I wanted for a while) I wanted my build to beat one or at least keep up. Well when he pulled up we made eye contact and my wife was on her phone, I said "babe, don't get mad" lol, by the time she said what me and the STi were going for it. My first launch in first and I had some wheelspin but thanks to saturdays tire visit the 90% tread 275's, when I backed out some and rolled on she hooked up and went. He was at my back bumper out of first, and most of second. Mid 3rd he was a bus length back almost, and mid 4th was almost 2!! I got out of it mid 4th and slowed down as he proceeded to make up ground lol. As I'm stopped at the next stop light he decided to turn right. I gave him a thumbs up and he smiled, as he turned I heard a pretty wicked sounding exhaust, so he was modded. Good kill IMO. He should have ate me at launch but my gearing is tight with that 3.27 and I make torque off idle, and I'm pushing quite a bit more torque than him.
