It'll be interesting to see how they compare. I think the heads make this setup.

Yeah, I have lsa heads and 10 to 1 compression, pump gas with 100% meth. I also a better compressor wheel in my pt88, but I have a 4" dp reduced down to a 3.5". It will be interesting.

I wish I'd have gone with more compression. I would guess just because of that you will make better numbers on the same boost. What transmission are you running?

I figured this cam was good enough for me if it was good enough for dudeman. Otherwise I would have considered swapping it out this winter.

Th400 with a tight converter and a mwc 9". My converter stalled to around 2800 with my 76gts and way smaller cam.

It is clearly working for you, I would leave it lol.

I had Chris at CRT put in a gt8847 comp wheel in my pt88 for 400 dollars. He machine the cover to fit the wheel and rebalanced it. He said I should see a pretty big increase over a standard pt88

I'm not sure. I would have to do some searching. Modern Automotive Performance is where the dyno was at. Maybe I'll check their website later today and see what it says about their dyno.

Yeah, it feels awesome. I still haven't turned it up past 17 with the cutout closed. 15psi with it open feels just fast as 17 closed at this point.

Here are some pictures that other people took at a fundraiser car show on Saturday. Much better quality than any camera I have access to!

Right on. Well I will have to make sure the calendar is free that weekend and head up too. I wanted to 1/8th mile mine this weekend but don't want to run the risk of break something before the Kansas City meet next weekend.
