Just wanted to bump this thread to give another example of what the fluctuations look like. this setup jumps around about 500 rpm above 7 or 8k rpm. this setup includes a 2.6L, pfc + datalogit, original CAS, new oem belt and pulleys, no a/c, ATI damper, 280/10.8 cams, and HKS cam gears.
not sure what i'll do about it.
