Default Update on the car and the FMS F4 cam rocks

After two long months of no car and walking to work and bumming rides, I finally got the car up and running again over the weekend <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> I ended up staying with the stock pistons and had the GTP heads upgraded a little and 5 of the bent valves replaced due to a costly miss shift on a 150 shot <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> going into 3rd instead of 5th is a mother. I decided to change out the T1 as well "this cam was awsome" and go with a FMS F4 cam. All I have to say is the F4 cam is pretty damn filth and it even idels with stock tunning <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
I had C&S bump the rev limiter up to 7K then I was planning on sticking with the HPP3 and seeing how the car would run since it worked great with the T1 but, the damn HPP3 wont download anymore <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> so my only tunning at the moment is the rev limiter at 7k <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> .The car sounds healthy as hell and pulls like a mother <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Anyway I was coming home from work tonight and decided to open the biotch up finally and damn the car was pulling like a **** I was in 4th before I knew it. Plus I put a PA K-Member in it and deleted the A/C and took out some other weight as well now she is in the lower 3000 lb range <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> so hopefully it will be able to pick up the 4 tenths I was needing to get in the 10's.
I will be having the tunnig done in the middle of April from C&S then its off to the track <img border="0" alt="[USA]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" />

Did you replace the shortblock, or was it only your heads giving you trouble?

Thanks for the short block by the way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I ran a leak down on it and it is between 4-7 % which is pretty damn good in my book <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> and oil pressure hits up in the 70's at WOT <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> let me know where to send the oil pan from the motor <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Mike, I'm glad the cam worked out well for you. Let us know how it does when you finally do get it tuned and take it to the track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
