Default winter project!

well the winter project offically stared for me saturday. thanks to don and every else that was there to lend a hand this weekend we got my afr heads for the car and first impression is ALOT more mid range power has been found . even though the cam will also be coming out before spring kmowing that it wasnt designed for the heads i went with. gained 30rwhp and 30rwtq across the board. we did find out though that its time for new cam and injectors
sae we saw 410hp/395tq for starters and just called it a day
uncorrected was 441/428, gotta love cold air
so far so good.
with what is in mind for this car spring isnt gonna be here fast enough

Can't wait to toss that little Cam for something that will use the heads The gain was great in the midrange though,just flat up top.
I'm still amazed that the dyno was that far off for SAE/uncorrected,, 404hp SAE and 441hp uncorrected

Even though I just got lucky driving down the road seeing crazy eye! It was cool to see what was going on. Nice numbers Kieth! With a new cam those heads will wake up big time!

A little bit more than he has now The TR230 is a great cam for stock heads but not made for ported heads.We will be running a much better cam that will use the heads.Just as long as he runs consistant 11's next year,that is all we are looking for

marco, that was my old cam and I gave it to keith, it would be awesome in your auto. Awesome driving manners on the street, real good low end and it makes great power with stock heads.

Keith, hey congrats on that HP gain. That AFR head seems to work as advertised. It'll be interesting to see what gains you see with the right cam.

I thought you made more than enough power yesterday. Get used to that first and then switch cams! Seriously, I'd do the same thing. Get a cam that's matched for those heads and let it rip! I'll be there to help out anytime!
