This might have been asked already but I missed it. Who tuned your car? Congrats on your times. I am thinking about the 230/224 cam recommended by Predator Z. I was wondering how it's street manners will be, but if you say your 230/230 drives like stock. I shouldn't have any problems with mine.

that is probably worth at least 10rwhp all together...so i would say the cam added upper 50's to 60rwhp...because i compared when i was stock internal 116mph to now 123mph with the same DA...So edit cam added around 60rwhp...

Very good result there Chris - congrats. The proof is in the pudding and shows that Predator-Z's cam recommendations are excellent and well thought out. I'm going the way he's advised a bit later in the year. 
Cheers,
Macca

I am looking for a good streetable cam to put in my forged 347 with stage 2 heads. Can you give me some more info on the cam and where to order it from. You can pm me info if you want. What kind of tune did you get? I am going to be using a yank 3500 stall.

Chris is in Illinois, Speed Inc is in Chicago area. Any good tuner will do, by good I mean professional that does VE tables, cracker tables etc.. not just adjust WOT fuel.

I will start off with a mail order tune and get it dyno tuned later on.

LoL, that is what I do
There is no good tuner here, so I get Allen Nelson to base tune for me and I fine tune with HPT. I'm getting better with time. I rarely use dynos, I purely street tune, datalog, tune, datalog, well you get the picture.
I'm thinking of taking a EFI 101 class to be able to do it all myself

Chris, are you saying that it isn't a good idea to throw it on the dyno with a fresh tq. converter?? Is this for the health of the converter or just that it will show lower numbers? I will have the motor out for a freshen up & I wasn't planning on pulling the heads back off to change the cam.

DO NOT!!!! run the converter for the first time on a dyno,Yank converters NEED to be broken in with at least 100-150 miles before going full throttle.Do the converter first, drive it at least 150miles ,then do the cam and have the engine tuned and the trans shift points changed at the same time.We have always broken in Yanks and have never had a problem between Chris and I,We are on our 4th one between the 2 of us.IM his dad.

Well, maybe I can drive the car around for 100-150 miles before I get it tuned & just not go WOT. I'm gonna have the motor out & apart and I don't want to pull the heads or transmission after I just got finished putting it back in 100-150 miles ago. Think it would hurt anything driving it easy without a tune?

I appreciate the help & sorry for the thread hijack. I failed to mention that this converter was bought used & I sent it to PTC & had a new hub put on. They checked it out and I don't think they did anything else while they were in there. I'll call & ask them Monday morn. & if they didn't do anything else I should be good to go right? Since it isn't a new converter?
