I finally went and got the car tuned a couple of weeks ago and dont know whether i should be slightly dissapointed or not, because of the numbers that i got with the cam thats in it (mods in sig). P.S the car was only revved to 6200rpm



I dont know if the fact that the fuel filter probably has all 93000 km on it and/or the fact that it still has the stock 3.42 gears in it would have anything to do with it. What do you guys think??

 

I changed the fuel filter, and could definitely feel a difference in the power, so that was probably half the issue. Any other ideas?

 

With the T-Rex cam you gotta rev alot higher than 6200 to see the numbers it puts down. A set of good flowing heads would probably help you alot to.

 

you should be happy ! your car put 415 without heads plus a rotten fuel filter,its amazing.
throw a set of heads in that sucker and let it burn

 

for bolt ons and cam you did good

 

The reason i ask is because on Thunder Racing's website they have a dyno graph of one of their cars with an identical set up to mine, except theirs was a 99 and had an LS6 intake while mine is a 98 and has the Fast 90, and their car put down 451hp and 406 tq.

 

You have to understand that they are trying to sell you a cam with those numbers. I have personally witnessed/tuned ALOT of cam only cars and VERY few have went over the 410rwhp mark I read on the internet one time that if I bought some pills.. my dick would grow 3 inches.. I'm still waiting on that last 2.95 inches

 

Your numbers were CLEARLY still on the way up when you let off at 6200. Why did you stop there? 415+ is usually pretty stout for any cam with stock heads. I see you have the 90/90, so that's not holding you back at all. I would take it to the limit and see what happens with that peak number. You're sure to see at least a small gain up top. Congrats.

 

Very good #'s!

 

nice numbers man, be proud lol. thats some nice torque for a such a large cam

 

Graphs with MPH on the bottom axis make my head hurt. I want RPM there.

Very nice numbers.

 

hey massls1guy what part of MA are you in?? you can pm me if u dont wanna post it

 

Hi numba. I'm in Tyngsboro, 1 town south of Nashua. Where are you?

 

lol, ive heard of Nashua but not Tyngsboro. Im in the Seekonk area close to Dez Racing on Rt6. your sig says you gotta a slowhawk tune so im sure you know where that is

 

Don's the man.

 

Fyi, Tyngsboro is where Matthews used to be before it was shut down.

Well I just ordered a TR224 tonight... thunder has a labor day sale going. So I will be back to see Don in Seekonk after I install it. Also some budget 243s. I agree Don is the man!

Sorry for hijack

 

not to shabby
