  1. I am on Long Island. I have a muffler to install, pipes that need to be run, and tips welded on. Anyone know of a shop that won't leave those annoying little leaks that piss me off to no end? I really only want to do this once, if I can find a good shop. Thanks for any info you have.
  2. So a lower # ICL raises the DCR and wider LSA decrease overlap with fattens the TQ curve down low and results in lower peak #s, but good power under the curve?
  3. Is there somewhere I can find some real detailed info on the effects of playing with the ICL and LSA? I have been searching for weeks, nothing. If I get this info, I feel that I can make a good solid decision on a good cam.
  4. Intake Lobe 218* .605" XFI intake lobe Exhaust Lobe 224* .600" XFI exhaust lobe Given the above, what would be a good recommended LSA and ICL for what I am looking for? I know that moving the LSA around changes where the power comes in, and moving the ICL changes DCR (at least I think I remember reading that), I just don't know how the two interact with each other. Oh, and would it jive with 3000 stall?
  5. I just re-read that, and it sounds like I am trying to make an argument for a reverse split cam. I am not. I am thinking about something in the range that I originally posted, up to something like your cam. I would consider a 228 if I could get some decisive info on what LSA and ICL I should use to get lots of tq early in the range.
  6. Thanks for all the info man, this is good stuff. Regarding Texas Speed, the customer service I get with them is hit or miss sometimes. I love them, and have bought quite a lot of stuff over the years and will continue to buy from them, but regarding this decision, I think I would prefer to get some tried and true opinions from the guys on the boards, and the other experts. Not trying to imply that they don't know what they are talking about, but I feel like I would get a 'stock answer, go with the 224 or 228, it works good' answer, and thats not what I am looking for. I am looking to get the best info that I can get, then make the decision on my own, this way, if I don't like it, its my fault, no one else's. Whats the deal with your cam, would you mind giving up the specs on it? are you running a converter? where does your power come in? As for what you are saying about the reverse split cams being good to FI, I don't know anything about nitrous. I can see it being a good cam for a turbo (good backpressure to help spool the turbo), but a blower, I am confused about. Being belt driven, I cant see a short duration exhaust lobe being good for airflow. But thats not what I am wondering about. With a shorter or lower lift exhaust duration compared to the intake lobe being good for TQ in a turbo application, why wouldn't it be good for an N/A setup?
  7. something like this at the wheels would be nice...dont care about the HP, just the TQ.
  8. Just sos you guys aren't guessing, I want to stay below 220 or 222 duration, because I will be running a TB stall (re-tooled by Circle D) that flashes to about 2800. I am trying to figure out a cam that make an AWD SSS do wheelies off the line. Alright, thats an exaggeration, but you get what I mean. I want a TQ curve that peaks around 2500 and stays flat through 5800. Yes, I am N/A. No, not necessarily set on the reverse split, but it makes sense to me why its a good idea for making low end grunt as opposed to top end HP. The truck shifts at 5800, and I like it that way (my tranny has 114,xxx and still going strong), so I don't want to aggravate it by revving it too high. I am also still running full tq mgmt, and so far so good. If you have any ideas as far as duration combos with the supporting LSA and ICL that make mass tq almost from idle, Im all ears. Can you explain that a little more for me?
  9. Well, if you aren't going to ensure they stay up, just be prepared to pull one or both heads if they fall. Well, if you aren't going to ensure they stay up, just be prepared to pull one or both heads if they fall.
  10. Thinking about changing my cam from this 218*/214* .581"/.581" to this 220*/218* .563"/.590" The intake lobe is Comp Xtreme High Lift and the exhaust lobe is a Comp XER. I think that the still relatively short duration will make it a good setup for a TB converter, and the fast ramp rate of the exhaust lobe will assist in generating vacuum in the cylinder, and help to "suck" in more fuel and air. Can someone tell me if I am on the right track, or if I am out of my mind. I am trying to keep my DCR on the high side, as I am running N/A. My question is what LSA and ICL combination do you guys recommend for a nice broad TQ curve.
  11. Them's fightin words. Marines are not over-rated. I am very sorry to hear that your buddy died, but what you offered as a reason seems a bit presumptive side, don't you think? Keep in mind, I know nothing about the situation, so if this is a documented and verified incident, thats one thing, but as a Marine, obviously with a bit of a biased opinion, I find it hard to believe that entire unit (squad/platoon) whatever the size, lost its composure. I agree, a battle over what service is better is not necessary, because you can't compare the two, as their missions are completely different. After I read what you said, it took me about 30 minutes to reply, it just bugged me a bit.
  12. DOOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!! Seriously, its worth it, even if its your only mod, its beneficial. An engine is a fairly simple airpump, suck air in, mix it up, blow it up, push it out, repeat. The faster you get old gasses out, the easier it is to get more air in, and hence, more power. I am running Pacesetters that I had flanges welded onto. Its much better than the slip fit design. They are worth probably 15 to 20 hp by them selves, but I have never before and after dynoed a set.
  13. Year of truck:2003 Model:AWD SSS Trans: Stock 4L65E Converter:Stock Gear:4.10 Tires:275/55/20 List of current mods:Home made ram air, Ported/polished 317s (done by Lloyd Elliott and flow approx 295/210), Harland Sharp 1.7 rockers, Patriot Gold Duals, Trick Flow Hardened pushrods, stock valves, Fel-Pro .041" head gaskets, currently running a 218*214* - .581" lift in and out (recommended by Lloyd), Pacesetter LTs, custom 3" intermediate piping, stock muffler and catback, MSD wires, blackBear tuned, with full TQ management to preserve the tranny. Possible future mods:No major plans. The heads are staying, but I am all ears for a new cam/converter combo (or maybe just a converter) to get this pig moving. Goals for truck: I want it to be a street monster. Power on demand in the 0 to 80 mph range. I don't really go to the track, but I want great off idle acceleration, with good mid and top end gains. The cam that I am running now has good mid and great top end, but is a dog off idle (I have a feeling a converter is in order). Thanks in advance. Nick.
  14. yeah, I just saw that last night...nice system but holy crap they are expensive.
  15. Thanks, I did. I am not out to waste anyones time, I didn't find the answer that I was looking for, hence the post. Jaymz...thanks man.
