I just installed my second set of 918's on my F11(first set I had was used) and my limiter is set at 6800.575-597 lift.

Jerami, I'm going to call them up and ask for a "real" cam card. What are the specific parmeters I should request?

a full doctored report

i think all thats left of the basics is duration @ .006. everything else can be calculated from the numbers already give; lobe lift, VE's @ .050, overlap @ .050.

i just want to add the card to my collection and you know in the comming months theres gonna be more and more 235/240 posts.

Yeah it would be nice to know the advertised duration and overlap. When I ordered the cam, I asked Trevor what the base circle was, but he didn't know. I'm using it with TR pushrods 7.414" long with very, very minimal valve train noise (no more than the TR224 had,) so I must have it real close.

I'll give him a call tomorrow; he also said he would give me some tunning tips if I called back with specific issues.

Man I drove this thing to work today, and I must say it's a good daily driver for it's size. The only time driveability takes a hit is in residential areas where you have to maintain a constant low speed like 25 to 30 mph.

About four weeks ago I installed a Comp Cams 236/240 601/608 114 +4
( XER Lobes ) that along with the Manley Nextek dual springs.

So far I'm verry happy with it.

Blown 98 Z, that sounds like a very similar cam. What PCM tuning have you done for it?

There is a shop here in town that did the tuning.

Dragon Race Engineering they use LS1 Edit.

On a Mustang Dyno I put down over 500 RWHP

( ProCharger @ 5 psi )

To be honest I don't know all the specifics on what was done.
