Hand Ported 243's and Torquer V2
 

Like the Title says - i just installed a set of hand ported 243s (Conservative port work - but it was REALLY cheap and better than nothing) and a Torquer V2 Camshaft (232/234 .595/.598) with ALL the supporting goodies and bolt ons except a UD Pulley. This is on a '97 MN6 Corvette through a 4.10 rear.

I made 400whp and 362 TQ on a Mustang Dyno, after the tune. For shits 'n giggles i'll throw it on a dynojet and see the difference some time in the future.

Base lined at 323hp 335 tq with Intake and Full Dynatech Supermaxx Exhaust, no tune.

I figure on a Dynojet type dyno i'll make somewhere around 430? We'll see :D

BTW - for anyone considering this cam I highly recommend it. With a good tune it's VERY streetable - no stalling, nice choppy idle around 900, and with 4.10s it's really snappy!

nice NUMBERS and a helluva improvement over the baseline!

nice improvement for sure!!!

Very nice. I like seeing people with good results from hand ported heads.

nice results bro :cool:

Was through a Auto or M6

It was through a '97 M6 Corvette with a 4.10 Rear.


So last night - for kicks, i got some video of the idle and a quick rev. I found some random empty looking place to do it and there were a few houses around... so i was kind of in a hurry because it's ridiculously loud. You can hear the tone of the engine well, but the video just doesn't capture all 130+ dB (Revving it maxxed out my dB Measuring tool from 10-15ft at 130...)

You can see it idles between 900-1000 with the AC on... a hair lower w/ it off. And it's pretty steady, although occasionally gets into a nice stumble that shakes the whole car (which i enjoy.. hehe) You can kind of hear it stumble a couple times - but it's easier to hear in person...

Tom Wong did a rock solid tune on this thing and there's no bucking, cam surge, or stalling.

Here's the clip:

And - I've found a Dynojet to run on, hopefully get the dynojet pull tomorrow. I find most people on here use DynoJets, so I want to see how my hand ported heads really compares to a similar setup with CNC'd heads, and a mustang dyno doesn't help... lol

Very good numbers, How much you think you spent total on the whole setup & did you do all your own work too?

Ohhh.... about $4000.

It's more than I was planning on spending... but some repairs popped up too that I wasn't expecting... I got some really good deals on hardware too - but since i didn't do the work myself ($1700 Labor Bill) that jacked up the price pretty bad...

I could've done it myself, it just would've taken longer - and i don't have another car to drive - and i've been traveling a lot on the weekends lately, so basically if i wanted it done any time this summer, i had to have a Pro do it while i was out of town.
