That occasional lump you feel is probably just the lumpiness of the cam. Did you turn your idle up a bit?

In gear? That'* awfully high. Must still be learning. IIRC stock settings are around 650rpm. At 650rpm warmed up .. it'll sound cammed for sure.

The locals better watch out for you now.

Dropped one pulley, no knock. Injector duty was 98% with stock injectors, now the highest I saw was 78%
