Cam and heads in the works
You've got enough overlap that you'll be setting misfire codes and catalyst efficiency codes (if you still had a cat, and didn't already have that disabled!). There isn't any way to prevent the mis-firing (that's what lope is), but Lew can take care of the code for you.
The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
The cam idles pretty rough... Sometimes I'm pulling 12"hg in drive and I can feel the power brakes get soggy. As said before, the engines smooths out when a little throttle is applied.
Everyone knows how I feel about big cams and this is about as big as I would wanna go with 2.93's. People think that we need to lose a little bottom end to gain some traction, and I disagree. The 2.93 gears really suck and make 2nd gear last forever.
Bottom end (idle to 2000rpm) is a little weak, but once I come up on the converter it's light out. The pull is amazing..
Power from 4500-5900 (stock shift) has been increased. After about 80mph at WOT in 2nd gear, the car starts to get a little squirly.. No joke! Tq steer is very noticable at higher speeds. Not the fastest car but definitely fast.. got killed by a Newer Cobra thinking it was a GT.. Dooh!
Sounds very lumpy at idle.. My car no longer sounds like the stinking trucks.. It's fun to watch people stare in parking lots when I cruise thru. It's obvioius that Im not stock.
I tried to get a sound clip but the quality is horrible on my phone. I'll have to figure something out for you guy's.
Install was done by myself. No help and it took me 6 days. The steering shaft, front cover hose clamps, and the power steering line took up a bunch of time.. I had to replace my PS pump cause I snapped a mounting ear off. I also Snapped my cam sensor and broke two rocker bolts. My G/F's kid broke his arm and I found out my Grandparents passed away.. They lived to be 88 so I can't complain. I also had to go to drill onlyt to get sent home cause of Obama. It was nice to relax this weekend and mourn a little.
I would do it all over in a heartbeat! Stock cam sucks *****!!

I still need to get tuned, so with the listed mods, and tuning, I am hoping for another 20whp which should put me at 390-400. With my dyno luck, I will probably only best 365
LMAO!!I have raced, and out MPH many of cars who have dyno'd 400+ HP so go figure... These cars just suck on dyno's.
