230/224 Cam is in!!!! Well, after about 9 hours we got the cam installed
and Steve Reickman did most of the work, I owe alot to him, he did a great install. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> The car is in need of tuning though, you have to give it some gas for a lil while to let it find its idle. It lopes like a **** <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> We found the keeper that we dropped a day later in a towel we had laid down for radiator fluid. The valve springs on the back of the passenger side were a real pain <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> The install was definatly worth it, and i will <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> drive <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> down the road to Ed Wrights real soon for the tuning, his place is about 10 minutes away, One of the benifits of living in the most boring state in the US.
But the car should run like a raped ape here pretty soon and i will post dyno numbers and track times. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> Thunder Racing

Re: 230/224 Cam is in!!!! I just swapped my T1 for that cam last weekend. Did some LS1edit tuning and it runs great. Never stalls and the idle doesnt drop down to 2-300 anymore.
Let me ask you a question too, when you are in 6th gear, put the pedal to the floor...when I do this with mine, it almost feels like it is missing. I ran an A-tap and my timing is pretty low, so it looks like I'll be using Edit some more <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
