Question on the cam. I've read the entire post and havnt seen specs. If you want to keep it quiet I can understand but what was the LSA on that cam? It sounded like a choppy low LSA cam.
By the way, I love where this guy has gone with his build. Beautiful, powerful, and efficient.

Well guys, I'm heading to the track this Sat. for some suspension tuning and see how she's going to run! My goal is to try to get the 60ft's in the 1.4s and run in the 9s with my 17" wheels on.

Will do Mike. You should be getting a few calls from some people I gave your # to down at the OC car show.

No, nothing fancy. I'm using a Miller welder that is older than me and about the size of a refrigerator! It does have High freq. The stack of dimes is more from working the puddle and adding filler. I'm not much of a welder, but sometimes you can really get in a rythm and get them looking great. Other times you want to throw the piece away!
how did the track outing go?
Outstanding build, very nice high quality work. I have just a couple questions. did you do any boost prep work to your block? what forged crank and rods do you have? What gear you running in the dana?
Keep up the fab work.

Thanks! . It has Mahle forged flat tops, and Eagle H-beams. I noticed a 6-8psi drop in oil pressure so I cut open the filter and found some gold flakes so I'm building a 402 iron block right now. Should be done next week I hope. I'm running 3.54s in the rear.
Thanks. Track outing went well. Got well into the 9s at only 11psi in complete street trim.

I'm thinking of changing the cam when I get the 402 done, If I do It will be up for sale real soon. I haven't made my mind up yet though. Also thinking about just keeping it in there and seeing how it performs first.

that street car MOVES. looks like the front suspension is also set up well to transfer weight. can you tell us some more about the front suspension?

The front suspension is a Heidts mustang II tubular setup. I just added Qa1 10 way adjustable coilovers. I set them on 90/10 for the track and it seemed to work well. Only thing that kills it off the line is the fact that the converter is too tight.
Was just thinking about selling the cam, no way I'm selling the car!
