Yeah, I'm still around. I just don't get to go out and play nearly as much as I did before the new baby. I keep telling the wife that babies love to ride in fast cars, but I can't seem to get her full support.

Does that mean that I'll only get in one pass at Thunder Road? If 11.99 is the cutoff, they'll lose a lot of business. I run with a bunch of 11 second cars from down south and they were all looking forward to trying the new track up here, but I guess I'll see what they say to me before any of them drive up. No Problem Raceway has never said anything to us about cages and I think they run a pretty tight ship there.

It might be different this time. They might have been really tough on it in the beginning because they didn't know any better? We'll see

647 lift? Went a little crazy on that one didn't you? This is going to clear stock pistons?

blue98Z

iTrader: (29)

Yeah with that cam and 5.3 heads your gonna have to flycut the pistons more than likely.

thats a big cam. I went with a .598 and was worried about that. I was told it wasnt the valve lift that caused the problem, its the duration along with the lift. They stay open for too long is where people start having the problems.

JD17825

iTrader: (11)

yea i know its big
yep i talked with texas speed it will clear i think there gonna recess the valves. with this grind they said you dont loss low end tq like you do with the ms cams and the power band stops at 6600 so it pretty close to where i shift. they have a post were a independent shop with that cam an the prc 215cc heads put down 480at the wheels so i know mine are a little different so we will see

cainsw

iTrader: (11)

I still don't see that monster clearing! I don't believe it will stop making power at 6600 either. My 228/581 was still pulling @ 6800 on the dyno back when it was in the TA. Maybe I'm wrong but I'd be scared to run that big monster with out cutting. Not only is it big lift but that is some huge duration when you combine it with that much lift. Guess we'll figure it out

JD17825

iTrader: (11)

i mean i asked them an they said it would. i know they recess the valves with the heads im getting to clear the ms4 cam so it should be fine

I'm against big cams with small cubic inch motors after i went through the MS3 and T Rex with my smaller motors. To see the full benifits of them you have to shift to high for the stock rod bolts to hold together for a good amount of time.

My MS3 got me the best results shifting it at 7K,greg and i moved the shifts points all night long and kept getting faster. Greg warned me of twisting it too high but i did not care i was already looking for an excuse to build a bigger motor anyway. My 232/.570 lift cam shifted at 6500 and with the MS3 cam at the same shift point all i gained was a half mph

Watch your milage on the springs i would not trust them for a long peroid of time with little clearance with that duration and lift. If you float them much at all you could risk touching the pistons but if you have enough valve relief in some aftermarket pistons i would not sweat it. For a stock ci motor i would go with a cam that with a tad lower duration,lift in the .590-.600 on a 110LSA. That will make up for the lose of lowend tq. and enough lift to flow what the heads need without having to shift it to the moon to see anything.

That is the new Tsunami cam isn't it?

Yep. I know everyone says its to big im super hard headed lol

the two vids i got

01ssreda4

iTrader: (96)

ok to those who went post your final/best numbers or all.

my first was 378/387 uncorrected
my second was 382/366 uncorrected
second run 365/350 corrected

i didnt get a corrected for the first run and i dont know why the tq was so high on it either.

EDIT: vids on previous page for whoever didnt see them

Mine was the pooch of the bunch. Mine dynoed 343.8rwhp and 318.3 rwtq. I think mine was uncorreted. My 98 dyno 343hp and 359tq with just bolt ons! I started thinking about my tire psi on the way home so I checked them when I got home and they only had 9psi in them. I think that might have had something to do with it. Mine lost 141 hp to the driveline according to the dyno. The black GMC was a mean SOB. My 2800# TA would be one bad **** with that setup!

I had a great time putting some names and faces together, and I would also like to thank Greg "The Professor" for giving the student some schooling. You don't know how much I appreciate you sharing some of tuning knowledge with me! Thanks.

Josh we will finish getting your car lined out soon.

Man I wish we could get half of the people that was there today interested in our little efi thing. We could have a whole field of racers.

First pull was uncorrected at 391/385
Final pull corrected was 385/375
The graph shows it planing out, but I'm sure it's nothing some fine tuning and fixing some possible fuel issues won't fix.

Chris, I'm gonna change the fuel filter again just for some assurance and get a fuel pressure gauge to check the fuel before we assume the pump is bad. I know the car has 400+ in it once we get the bugs worked out.

I can't load the video because photobucket won't take more than 5 min. I was at 5:01 lol. Gonna play with to see if I might can shave it down some, but I've already finalized the disk so I don't think I will. I'm still learning this camera so it may take a minute to figure it out. Had a great time, but before today I said I was through with the car then that 408 truck showed up and now I gotta beat Chris to it

I pulled off a 390HP/369TQ uncorrected and 384HP/358TQ so I was very happy with my numbers for whats done .I'm uploading the video of Broz's (408 GMC) pull.

I had a good time yesterday, it was good meeting up with old friends and making the drive over to ETMC for the Dyno Day (thanks for the $10 pulls & pizza). Josh, Steve, Chris, and myself met at around 9 at Sonic for coffee & war stories. We fell in behind Greg when we got to Longview. Those five Camaro's looked good pulling into ETMC, Phil & Bob were already there with the Impala's. It was great seeing the EFI Racing turn out, hell we were looking for a track. Looked like we were at a goat meeting over there, lots of Texas GTO's over there. I saw alot of good numbers on the Dyno and my dirty headers only 124000 mile vert put down 1st pull 316.51 rwhp/329.94 torque, 2nd pull 326.55 rwhp/355.13 torque

Whats bad is I couldn't even put 20 more down than you Wayne! I had the only car on a trailer and I put down the lowest numbers!!! What a turd. I need to run some of you guys that put down right at 400 ( Josh Steve) so I can see whats up
