Cool Cam install

Well, I finally can add some mods on my signature. Had my cam installed over the weekend. Has really added the power to my formerly stock engine. We installed the Texas Speed Torquer 232 234 cam. Haven't had it dynoed yet, but can tell an obvious difference. Can't wait to run it at the track again. But will probably put a 410 gear in before I do that. I'm new at all this, so I might have to have some help from some of my friends on here if there are any questions. Wanted to add a picture! Girls can do it too![IMG][/IMG]

Nice pic. I can't wait to see it run. I herd you had a bad plug wire on there too. It should really run good now. It might be time for some different tires. LOL...

Thanks! Becky had a pic of me changing my thermostat, but accidentally deleted it. Yeah, I was running on 7 cylinders @ the track. My tires are almost slick now. I've got to get new everyday tires right now, so I'll have to wait on any drags! I'm a little nervous about racing again right now. With the added hp I'm worried about breaking my azza! But I'm also itching to go back and see how she does! I'm waiting on Becky before I go back to the track again -- I think we'll probably go to the dyno first too. Maybe I'll see ya around!

You know where Asheville is? Well, if you do, Canton is about 15 mins. west & Fletcher is about 5 mins east of Asheville. If you don't know where Asheville is, we're in the mountains in Western NC.
