Default Pumped for my H/C setup:

IT BEGINS THIS WEEKEND:


Cam: FMS F-13
Heads: Patriot Performance GM LS6 Style Stage II Head Assy (2.02/1.57/59cc)
Headers: Pacesetter offroad Jet Hot coated Long Tubes w. Y-Pipe
Lifters: GM LS7
Pushrods: Comp Cams Chromoly
Oil Pump: Melling Peformance (296)
Timing Chain: GM LS2
Dyno Tune: Speed Inc.


Any tips from the experts who have experience with the F13 or Patriot Heads? Anything special to expect?

Obviously, I'll definitely be bringing the dyno results when I get everything all said and done. Looking forward to my first H/C car

UPDATE:

Got the car back tonight and it sounds MEAN.


The thing won't idle for **** unless I get it up to temp, and I haven't noticed anything performance right.


I'm guessing thats cuz it isn't dyno tuned yet. That will really wake the thing up right? Man, can't wait til then so I can see how nasty this thing really is.

Only to about 4500 RPM, and only 3/4 throttle at most. I don't even have 15 miles on the cam yet, so I'm taking it easy.

Plus, this thing has NO tune on it yet. Like i said, barely idles when its up to temp. Its dyin a lot if i just start it up. Maybe I should raise the idle till i get it tuned?
