Default Very Happy With Tr 236!

just did the install this weekend (first time ever to work on a motor) and it took me about 25 hours total for Cam, Springs, push rods, Intake, throttle body, and MAF.

but damnit it was worth it.... that cam sounds like my 502 BBC

I cant wait to hear it WOT.... with my dynomouth

that intake looks real perty too
the only thing that really pissed me off was the FAST TB... before i even put that sumbitch on it gave me problems.... the bolt hole for the IAC closest to the TB blade was not drilled deep enough i ended up having to file down the bolt and put 3 tiny lock washers under it and loctite it

it worked but it pissed me off! 400$ and what do i get?

Ill post up my times to see the difference this weekend

gonna finish tuning tonight.

well fast didnt have much choice on the iac sensor hole, if they drilled it anydeeper it would go into the tb but they could have put that in the directions and sent a shorter bolt with the tb for crying out loud, i just cut my stock bolt down.


and 25hours

i don't see why it'd take more than 8-12hours the first time you do it, w/oil pump and a chain, but hey.

How long it takes isn't important. Getting it done right is. Congrats.

Diddo, I just put this same cam in this winter. Took me about the same amount of time. In a nice heated garage & no one to bug me. It was sweet. First night at the track it ran a 12.51@109.6 with stock 3.42 10 bolt.First pass right off the trailer.
