I always thought aftermarket cams didnt work too well with F/I. It will probably be fine thought since it's not too big.

yeah i know that i am saying that if i ever go F/I i will need to tune it really well. even for that small of a cam...also if i do the p/p heads and cam how much do you think i will gain with these mods i have ( i know they are not much )

If you want to go with F/I i would get a split cam for example the TR 224/227 114 LSA and i would go with lower compression heads and get thicker head gaskets. If you want to boost higher you need to have a lower CR, I heard some 6.0 liter heads work well with F/I.

Hey man.. Nice Y-pipe, wonder where that idea came from Actually I like the way your driver side came out a little better than mine. Glad to see you put extensions on it like I did.

You have any back to back dynos. I am curious to see how they look compared to mine. Since you used almost the exact same parts I did. Only real difference are the cats you went with.

Isn't it great playing with the dual cut outs going down the road.

and you can pass with this cam and ported heads.. ED Blown Vert is a good example..
Or run the biggest cam you want and change it out at smog time. I't aint that hard in my opinion.
