Default It fired! After cam swap
Well I guess I did something right.

Cranked it w the coil wire off til we got oil pres.

Hooked up coil wire and it fired first try.

I was disappointed because there was ZERO lope.

It was idling at 2K w the MAF off tho.

Plugged in the MAF and restarted and she dropped to 1000 and has a meaaannn lope!

The Borla carback tames it quite a bit but I'm sure it'll be really nasty when I get a cutout.

Cant wait to get the input swapped in the trans so I can drive it!

Right on dude, once the cutouts on there it'll sound badass, I know mine does. What are the cam spec's?

You don't want your cam to lope at 2k RPM.

Thats awesome! There is nothing like taking on a job like that and everything working out like planned. Starts on the first crank makes you feel good.

Lol ya I know I dont want it to lope at 2K. I just didnt realize it was that high til I walked around and looked at the tach.

And yeah, no bent, broken pushrods, no bent valves, etc... Guess those 2 little dots lined themselves up in there or something.

Oh, and 65psi oil pres cold. Guess I didnt bang up the cam bearings too bad.
