Well what I really want is another T63e or TE45a to go with this cam and a higher stalling converter. I don't think the Pro Torque I have now will work.
This was my combination back in 2000.
86 TR weighing 3600 lbs w/driver
bone stock suspension (sway bars and all)
stock front rims and 27x10 slicks and 8" Welds on the back
stock rear and gears
slipping tranny (flared good on both shifts) 2600-2800 stall Pat's converter ( unlocked )
**Had to manually shift the tranny (off the stock tach) because it was out of a 307 olds powered car and would upshift at like 4000 RPM**
9" K&N cone filter, stock maf (1 screen removed), 3" MAF pipe
T-63E turbo, Kenne Bell big boy intercooler, stock t-body, hemco 62 mm bonnet
rebuilt stock block, stock crank and rods, 2 billet caps, .020 over JE pistons, ESP stage 4 cam (on it's way to flatsville) 204/214 .448/.472 108 LSA, stock rockers.
fully ported stock heads and intake
ported exh. manifolds, 3" ATR downpipe with ATR external WG, Open offroad dump pipe, 3" single shot with BLOWMASTER muffler (14 psi of back pressure with the dump capped!!!!).
55 lb injectors, stock lines and rail, Red's 107 chip, 307 pump, adj reg
C-16 in the tank
27 psi boost in 1st and 2nd gears, 30 psi in 3rd gear
42 psi static fuel pressure spiking to 72 psi in 3rd and then dropping off
car was a dog in 1st and 2nd gears and then leaned out big time in 3rd (it lean popped 4 times in 3rd gear)
ran 97 mph in the 1/8 and 126 in the 1/4 (97 in the 1/8 should be a 121 in the quarter). Like I said, a dog in the first 2 gears. 11.39 et with a 1.88 60'.
If I had a better converter and tranny, less fuel downstairs and more upstairs there's no reason why she shouldn't have ran 130 mph in the 1/4 (possibly faster). Obviously, a little suspension tuning wouldn't have hurt either. lol
Since I sold my old turbo intercooler and downpipe I'm researching their replacements.
I want the new car to top end like a SOB that's why I'm kinda looking to stay with the 224 cam and am hoping someone out there actuallt ran this cam back in the day.
