update (no charts) LOST at least 35whp
total disaster, well almost. lost 35whp from last time. this was the process i used....
started on the small lobes only. resulted in a very nice flat torque curve to about 185-190ftlbs and whp reached just over 206
. afr's were good (mid 11's), timing peaks @ 25*. gained LOTS of torque down low compared to the N1's
so now i introduce the intake cam. i start at 6k swich point and work my way down. every time it hits, power climbs faster like it should. but the result is not a increase in peak power. so i figure the exhaust cam still being on the small lobes is the reason. so lets set the exhaust cam to a few hundred later than the intake cam like i've always done. fucking bullshit! significant nosedive when the exh cam hits. nothing i did could make the power continue to climb like it should.
i HOPE it is the exh cam being set @ 0 thats REALLY screwing things up, but i have a hard time believing it.
so next week the slide type cam gears go on so i can do some street tuning to try and figure this shiiet out.
lets look at the changes made since last dyno:
the header now has a 2.5" choke instead of a none. it was just a straight 3" after the last merge.
new vibrant resonators VS old 18" body dynomax.
cams were changed from N1's set at +3/-2 to 184c V3's set at +3/0.
new cap and rotor
new ngk bkr7e's gapped to .035 VS the old bkr6e's @ .032
new bc valve springs VS old bc springs
a little machine work done to the pistons for more clearance on the headgasket.
think thats it. help me out here guys. could the exh cam being set at 0 screw things up THAT bad? sorry, i didn't get a copy of the chart i was like TOTALLY pissed/disappointed/embarassed:o
