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

The gain was great in the midrange though,just flat up top.
I can't wait to see it run next year.

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 Trending Topics

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.

i cant make up my mind, stock internals , cam only LOL dam it. If I can get a sweet deal on that cam i'll take it. I had that cam in my first ARE motor and I swear that car was a beast with that cam and the TEA Heads, I wish I had the car tuned for that cam before my oil pump **** the bed and blew my motor 
Yeah let me be the first to say I'm interested in the cam . The AFR's will have to wait for tax time lol

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!
