Hey Matt! Not a problem buddy! Did you guys get the cam degreed in to the ICL I told Shane?

matt k

You wanted at 109 and we got it to come in at 109.5, pretty darn close.

Sounds good to me. Keep us updated!

Will do. Once we get the short block done. I'll give you a call on the heads this week or next.

sounds good, are those the specs for the polluter cam? either way nice set up

matt k

Not sure. I called and told him what I was wanting to do and be speced the cam and other things.

This is a custom cam that I specified for a dual plane intake manifold that Matt will be using. My carb cams normally are very overlap heavy because of the single plane intake's short runners.

Since this was a dual plane, and Matt was willing to sacrifice some power for drivability, I focused on making the torque curve as long and flat as possible by not going too big with the cam, and getting the exhaust valve open sooner while still closing the intake valve early enough to keep low speed power up.

Heads will be sent to Ai for their 232cc CNC program. Shooting for 11.5-11.6:1 compression.

Looks good!!!

Going to call you Monday for heads and intake. Been working 60-70 hrs a week and haven't had a chance to call. I'll get with you Monday to order it.

Can't wait to send these bad boys down to Concord for their 232cc CNC program!!!

matt k

Did you find out if I need to send the intake to them also? I just assume buy it from you rather than ordering it then shipping it. Edelbrock performer rpm. EDL-71187

You don't have to, but if you want every last bit out of the combination you should.

matt k

Ordered heads and intake. Great service. Can't wait for them to arrive. Thanks Martin.

Matt,

I've been talking with Phil@Advanced Induction about possibly doing something special with your heads. Seeing as how these are going on a 408, I started to think that we really need more curtain area by enlarging the intake valve.

The stock 2.00" intake valve is really small for a 408 and we were talking about going with a turned down LS3 intake valve for weight savings. It would end up a 2.03" intake valve and would cost an extra 375 dollars. If you wanted to just do a 2.02" intake valve that was made out of stainless and equal to the stock intake valve weight we could do that for an extra 150 dollars.

What we really think will wake this thing up though is putting new seat inserts in so that we can run a 2.08" intake valve or possibly even a 2.10". We're talking about the possibility of 500-550rwhp if this is done with the heads you have and the cam I have specified.

It would be an extra 450 bucks for the new seat inserts, 2.08-2.10" valves and labor to put the new seat inserts in.

Let's take this thing to the next level Matt!
