Was that with a 112 or 114 lsa? How much advance?

114 lsa put in straight up

i could have went with .040 head gaskets i see now but i think my dcr is already getting out there with the 59cc heads. i should be around 11.1-11.2 as is static.

and then with the 114 lsa 224 cam i know i am pushing it.

i am just trying this out. if it don't work i will try a new route.

but i think with the high comp ratio and low duration and good lift it should be a tq monster with a 346 ci with a 150 shot on standby.

time will tell.

You should have ran the .040 gasket, the bump in compression wouldnt have been bad, especially if you run 93 octane. Im at 11.9 on 93 with zero issues. The tighter quench area would have been a good benifit. Either way you have a good combo.

So by straight up you mean it was a 114 + 0 right from thunder racing? A 114 icl?

I'd imagine a 112 +4 would have a lot less ptvc...

i know. but i was so worried about the ptvc i did not know what to do.

plus the .040 is better to prevent detonation.

maybe being i have to wait for the fast intake to get here i could switch head gaskets . the gm one were only 30 for the pair from summit.

i doubt a 112+4 would be a big deal. just remember my heads are cut like .042 i think to get 59cc out of the afr's

Should be a killer setup! You'll really enjoy the powerband of those awesome heads combined with the TR224. On the jug it should be crazy!!!!

What PTV method did you use? Dial indicator or did you clay it? Off the top of my head I had .200 on both using 63cc 5.3L heads, MLS gasket with my 112+4.

I used clay. i know that seemed tight. but i am running the 1.75 pro mag rockers.

and it is a 2.020/1.6 valve's. i rolled it over a few times i am sure it is right.

I know i check from my stock heads from the gasket surface to the edge of the valve and the afr's are about .040 less. so i don't really have a answer as to why.

just glad i stuck with this cam and no fly cut.

Did you just line up the dots or did you retard it 4 degrees to make it straight up? FYI, the TR 224/224 114LSA comes +4 from Thunder Racing. Lining up the dots does not mean installing it "straight up". Straight up means no advance to the cam (ie 114 intake centerline). To put the TR 224 in straight up would mean you put the cam in at 114 intake centerline which would require you to retard the cam -4 degrees from dot to dot. If that's what you did, that's awesome. I just don't want to confuse anyone out there if they're trying to duplicate your results.

If you put it in dot to dot, let's make it more clear.

thanks patrick G yes i put it in dot to dot. I did not know that.

Okay, that answers my questions now.
