Default got my cam installed

its a custom grind 232/238 .600 cam. Had the intake put on also. before the cam and intake I put down 280hp/270tq untuned....th400 unlocked converter i know the #'s are low. After the cam and the intake I put down 347/315tq.

I had 60 something codes the builder deleted a bunch of air leaks and i needed front o2 sensors. so I am happy with 67 hp 45 tq gain. so its no dyno queen but we'll see how it improves my best time of 13.3.

Ive also noticed I really need to step on the brake because the car wants to pull from a stop like its got a 1500 rpm converter. time for a 4400 stall. The car drives great and pulls alot harder up top. I still havent been able to find a secluded enough place with a long stretch to make a pull through 6600 rpms. And it is f#$%ing loud! Overall best money I have spent on the car yet.

That's awesome. I hope to have my F13 in the car in a month or so. i had to send it back to Futral to get it repolished. I hope to be as satisfied as you sound like you are.

Not to Jack your thread, but is that a NBM SS with a Navy Blue top?
