you mite need to do some flycutting on the pistons for valve clearence.you should get bigger injectors.

Yes, Flycutting is recommended, or at least PTV clearence double checked. Get to Patriot Dual Gold Springs w/ Ti retainers. The car may need more stall, most likely.

As for HP #'s, you got a auto which is a dyno pig. But go to the Dyno Section and Search, you will find a answer.

thanks guys i really didnt know if i would have to notch the pistons. thatll save me some problems in the future lol. and im looking for some injectors if yall know anyone with some for sale.

You should install it, dyno it, then come back and tell us what it made....

I run the trex cam, full bolt ons through a 4000 stalled 4l65. The only time I dynoed was to try and see what was wrong with my car. So come to find out I put down 365 on 7 cylinders. Even through the auto I think you'll see 390-405. Dyno numbers don't mean **** though, its how it runs. Sounds awesome as well. Here's mine.

you will have valve clearance to anything up to a .650 lift on stock heads. My buddy with a formula ran the MS4 cam .649 lift cam with his stock heads and it rolled out, cam only ran 11.40s 6 speed car. HP numbers through an auto id expect anywhere from 50-60whp gain

How often do you have to change valve springs?

WRONG you do not need to flycut we turn it 7500 the pistons are not flycut and have ZERO issues .... But u do need to double check your ptv. your going to need injectors and a bigger converter.

pnut25

"ssperformance" thanks for tha heads up bc i was going to turn 7000rpm n i thought that might of ben close to the limit...thanks again everyone for the tips. o btw the car alredy went "11.80@ 105 & 1.5 60ft" ran out of rpm b4 i could pass the traps so i know the car has alot of potential... and its a stock lq4 motor.

11.80 @ 105?? That traps way too low!

Edit- didn't see the you ran out of rpm part.

Its all going to matter how the cam is installed will effect you PTV clearance.

Are you saying that the installation could cause different PTV clearance? Could you explain please. Im trying to process that lol

if the timing gears dots are not lined up ,or the slack of a used chain.was the car tuned,and what injectors where used?what size slick or dr was used?mite need a taller tire.

I have a T-REX , cam installed in a 5.3 no problems with valve to piston clearence also ,, i think you will be good in a ls1 motor (5.7)
