402 Finally tuned.... small cam 465/454
402 Finally tuned.... small cam 465/454 Okay fellas, I finally got my car tuned. It took a little while because of some oil burning issues I was having. Glad to say thats over. That being said I love the way the car drives but, like everyone else, it put down less than I expected. However, the issue can be fixed by me changing out the badly spec'd cam I picked out and applying my new found knowledge on a different one. My current cam is a 230/236 115lsa +2. Knowing what I know now, I got exactly what I should have gotten. 465rwhp/454rwtq!!! My next cam will be a little bigger with a lower lsa and better valve events. I'll be sure to post the results of the next one.

Up until about 1200miles I was adding a half a quart every 3 times I would drive the car. I went threw and re-RTV'd the rocker arm bolts and in the process for my #7 sparkplug wire was not pushed on all the way. The car no longer smokes on startup and the oil burn has dropped tremendously. I had a catch can installed when I had the car tuned so, we'll see what I get there. And yes, the car does drive like stock. Too much like stock. I went to conservative on the cam. I'll be fixing that soon.

Hey man, not bad #'s for that small cam. I sent my H/C package back to TSP for the bigger setup. I got PRC 6.0L S2.5 heads with cometic .040's pared with a nice cam. 244/248 on a 113 lsa for nitrous!
Chop Chop! Come on man. Get that thing back together so we can see how she does.....
Thats just what I don't have, but need to get the car to run. I just wanna drive it again, I'll drive it primered for a year or whatever till I get the money for that.
