Thanks! Hopefully this helps people out, I know I had a lot of questions when I first learned how to do this. It is not "fool proof" however there was a lot less to it than what I had assumed prior.

^I'm supposed to be going to Louisiana next year to visit some of the girlfriends family who were just up north visiting us. I might have to stop by your shop when I go down south in search of southern bbq and fast hondas.

this should be a sticky. Years ago when I learned how to do this, this video would have been very helpful, its one of those things that takes hand on experience.

Btw, what plug wires are those?

Stainless Steel Braid Wrapped. Custom ordered them a few years ago, everything is AN/Stainless in my engine bay. Even my radiator overflow line is stainless braided with AN fittings. I am all about things matching.

If you think it should be a sticky message one of the admin's for the All Motor section and they can probably add it as one if they deem it worthy.

Tuned a crome car on 8 yesterday goggles, using the Demon2.

Never missed a beat, infact, I think that's the smoothest I've ever had a car go on crome, no issues, no close outs, no unnecessary ****.. I was in amazement ? LOL

All the programs went well. Now I just need to test AEM, Haltech and see if they do the same.

Another thing you can do is do half and half. Split the drive in 2 partitions, run 8 on one and 7 on the other. If you have apps that run better one one than the other when you turn your pc on you choose which of the two to boot into.

Great vid, great quality too. One thing of note would be if you could mention (probably in footnotes now) why valve clearance is different between intake and exhaust sides. Additionally, it would be worth noting that setting each cylinder to TDC with either a thin rod/screwdriver down the spark plug hole or with a dial indicator, would be easiest. Although, ensuring the cams in each cylinder are pointing to the 1030am (intake) and 130pm (exhaust) positions, as viewed from the timing belt side of the engine, is pretty
sufficient as you stated at the end.

I think just a few written notes would bring this to full "how-to" quality.
