Graph and questions!
Graph and questions! Mods are in sig cam is 232/230 595/591 on a 114 XER. Heads are stock vavled and just resurfaced .005. Stock cat back stock everything else unless its in sig... I posted the numbers before but didn't have the graph. Wish I had a full graph to 6600-6800 so I knew a good shift point and peak HP...
But the cam is pretty tame and it doesn't "feel" NEAR as strong as I thought it would. So I'm been tossing the idea of a bigger cam maybe a same specs on a 112 to give it a little umph down low. I know gears are needed and an 8.8 will be installed with 4:10's this winter. If I go big enough cam to need flycutting, I'll mill the heads but bigger valves and do a G5x3 or something. What do you guys think? Just stay with this setup and get a catback, rear, pulleys, ported TB. Or start planning for a bigger cam???

you should see atleast another 15rwhp with a catbcak, pulley& TB. id go true 3" dual though. going by the numbers i assume you have headers even though their not in your sig. we got a similar combo and cam but my XE-R cam is on a 110. check out were my torque & hp. this was with a magnaflow catback.
im getting it redyno'd with the duals and maybe new patriot gold springs.

Yeah! You are about where I want to be the Torque on mine just seems low... I have Kooks with an ORP they are in the siq.
How does that 110 drive around? I plan on either a magnaflow or a dual\dual as well. I would love duals but there is nobody around that will touch it because of emissions. I don't know if a tranny shop would work on the car at this point they are pretty strict about it around here.

well with just me and a 1/4 tank with 3:42's, it will get squierlly at 50 thanks to that low end. take off from a stop, you kinda have to ride the clutch a tad. cruising isnt bad as long as you stay above 1500. 4:10s are goin in saturday. i cant wait!!
i had a magnaflow and sold it for the duals and im loving it. do whatever you can to get true duals. by a complete setup all ready to go from somebody on this site. spend the extra $$
and if i were to do it again, id get a comp xer 232/240 on a 110 or 112. basically just like a g5x2 and i dont think you need to flycut with heads.

I would put it on the dyno and run it out to 6800. It's not going to peak until a good 6400-6500. Get an ASP pulley, ported TB, SLP dual/dual or Magnaflow and see what she does.
The torque is lower than some because the heads weren't milled. Your effective compression drops from the overlap of the cam. Just milling them .030 or so would be worth an easy 15 lb across the board and probably 10rwhp up top.
I picked up the purple metallic formula this last week and should have the Intro GT Sports this weekend. Can't wait to get to the track in stock form and see what I have to work with. I've already got Pacesetter's, ORY, lid, SLP dual/dual, ASP pulley, LS6 intake, and a ported TB ready to swap in it. Then it's just a matter of time for the H/C swap.

Sweet is it everything you thought it would be???
Scott I hear you on the stuff, but honestly I went to the track and had DISMAL numbers, I can attribute some of that to me not knowing how to drive it and the wheel hop. But I see guys that can't drive and getting the same 2.20 60ft and running high 12's (which I wasn't close to) with the same 110 MPH on cam only Tr224's cars. My problem isn't with the times as much as the MPH something has to be wrong
If I pull the heads I'm probably going to send them back and have them milled and maybe have you put lighter valves. Then I want an actually flow sheet so I can better pick my cam. I almost cried at the track.
Honestly I would rather just get this setup dialed in I know it will make 420-425 HP up top but the torque peaked at 375 which just seems low, even at your 10lbs across the board I'm at 385. You know I could really care less what it does on the dyno, but damn my LT1 hotcam car is quicker than this one from a stop.

Get it dialed in. You need tires to see what it really will do. Just so you know, when I had clutch/spinning issues... even with most of my mods, I was running high 12's. I swapped the auto in, put some real tires on there, and ran low-mid 11's with no other changes.
Get tires first, even if it's just drag radials.... If you spin too much you won't have enough time in the 1/4 to get your MPH up. Even a dialed in bolt on car will stomp a H/C car that isn't set up yet. It's just going to take some time and experience and the numbers will come.
