Thanks Jim do you have any plans to dyno it?
Keith I have been wondering how much of a gain performance cams give. 208 cams seem very plentiful for most people. I personally would go roller just for the reason that I'd rather not wipe a cam. But the question really is what does a 210/210 roller give over a stock or a 208 flat cam.
Patrick seems to have done well with his stock setup although he has recently stepped up to using a 1.65 rocker.
If you are not rebuilding your motor and spend $1000 on a nice cam for it to give 15 hp and 10 tq is it worth it? I just have no frame of reference for trying to figure this out.

i made 365 horse power when i dynoed my car @ marks dyno @18-19 psi with the stock cam without the 1.65 roller rockers. I think that adding a set of ported heads will allow you to run less boost to make the sam power. this also helps out the efficienty of the turbo and intercooler due to not have the boost up so high to make decent power.
i have refreshed my engine this weekend and installed a lunati 200/200 cam that advertised @ 426 lift. then add my 1.65 kenne bell roller rockers. i also added a lower ported intake. so i can't wait to get it back it a running again.

pat and sam i need to get with yall,i have got my fittings for my fuel lines and i need yall to show me how you did the block off for the charcole canister for the vent on the fuel pump lines.
Pat,
My car is off the lift!! We replaced the 3.73 with the 3.42 and installed Moser 28 spline hardened axles. I replaced the oil pan gasket and I also had to replace the voltage regulator because it crapped out. I plan on going to Piedmont on the 11th. Care to join me?

all you need to do is get a vac cap and put over it. then go get a vented gas cap and voila your done. if you have any more questions call me 736-1165
I might come out and see what the new motor will do @ 15psi
Put some miles on the motor before the 11th and turn the boost up to at least 20. :smile:
