Default First cam swap start up video

Well just swapped the cam out. Took me one solid day to change not to bad. That includes all supporting mods for it. But as you can see not much in the engine bay. Well let me know what you think still have to adjust the rockers and some other small things.

Sounds like mine used to! Glad you like the cam.

Listen good though, it sounds like one rocker might be a little loose.

It is a 112 LSA the idle was alittle high maybe because of its first start in the last 3-4 months also found a small intake leak on a vacuum hose. I just went to readjust the rockers I dont know if I missed them or what but 3 where pretty loose prob 1/8inch movement. So I fixed all that stuff maybe later on I will get another Idle clip see if there is a difference.


Do yall know what kinda of HP numbers yall are putting down with the cam? I am hoping for something decent numbers I have I think all of the supporting mods and a ton other stuff. With all the weight reduction I have done should run pretty good. Bad thing is where I moved they only have 1/8 mile tracks so I need to change my gears out for that I have a th350 with the stock 3.42's thinking of 4.10's or 4.30's if I go 12bolt. What do yall think I should go with? Thanks for the comments

no dyno numbers, but the times in my sig are with that cam. I have a TCI 3500 stall and my 60ft. times did not change after the cam, so i think i might benefit from more stall. I would do the 4.30 gears if you are going to be running only in the 1/8th.

Yea I was thinking the 4.30's I am trying to get my Transmission rebuilt right now and throw a 5000rpm stall on it. hopefully it will move out pretty good. Its been almost 2 yrs since I was able to race due to deployments and working on the car. I am happy its getting close to being done.

I know I should ask in the Transmission section but I figured I would ask here to. My TH350 lost 3rd and reverse completely I was told it is probably the direct drive clutches but also it could be the intermediate servo any ideas? Also after I readjusted the valves yesterday it sounds alot better now.

Ohh and your 1/8th mile time that about a 12sec 1/4 mile time right. Thats pretty good I am going to have to learn what a quick time is for 1/8mile I was hoping for a mid 11sec pass on motor and 10s on nitrous.
