guineag60 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Installed the Circle-D, OBX longtubes and the trans cooler yeasterday. Edited March 25, 2012 by guineag60 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineag60 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 The OBX's fit good the driver side front o2 locations were junk. both pointed directly into the front D/S. I cut the o2 bung out of the stock exhaust and burned it into a new spot before the front "cat". I made some brackets to install the larger Hayden trans cooler. Both of the servos came with the same seals for the 2nd and 4th. Was not able to install them because i did not have the teflon seals.

RCNap12986 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 This thing should scream. I see 12's in your future easy. Where do you plan on shifting? Thats one hell of a cam. I'd love to go for a ride in it with that converter too. I just put a TB converter in mine for the time being while I get my tranny situation figured out. I'm curious to see how the tranny holds up. I had planned on an 80e swap in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guineag60 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I got my 799's back from Ed Curtis at Flowtech Induction. These things look awsome. Im gonna start to do the head/cam swap on friday night and should be finished saturday morning. Trying to schedule a tune with Slowhawk now. Cant wait Im pretty excited for this.

shadowsniper3006 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 sounds like a nice build. I hope you can dyno it and report the results. I think your going to need more converter to really 60 foot with that cam. What compression? SCR and DCR? Did you get a flow sheet with the heads? What intake and TB are you running now? Why did you choose link bar lifters? What head gasket? What is your target shift point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineag60 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Im going to be running the factory intake and T/B for now (saving for a lsxrt & NW 102 dbw) and I never went with the link bar lifters after all. My funds have drastically diminished. Im running new stock LQ9 head gaskets. I havent thought of shift points yet but ball park im guessing some were between 6 to 6800 rpm. The cams powerband was from 2800 to 6500rpm. Its gonna depend on what Don at slowhawk suggests unless you can give me some advise or a suggestion. Im not sure what the compression ratio is going to be exactly. The heads were milled just for flatness. I thinks stock 799's are 64cc? so maybe 10.7 -10.9ish to 1? The SSS is still my DD so i didnt want to go nuts with the build but i didnt want it to be a just a quick truck. Im hoping for high 12's low 13's. Prob wont be close until i get the intake and really beef up the tranny. I dont have a flow sheet now but this is what FTI's website has posted in their head section AVERAGE FLOW NUMBERS - 4.030 test bore - no pipe Lift - Intake - Exhaust .100 --- 71 --- 57 .200 -- 137 -- 106 .300 -- 203 -- 145 .400 -- 252 -- 190 .500 -- 285 -- 203 .550 -- 300 -- 206 .600 -- 305 -- 210 Edited August 12, 2012 by guineag60 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guineag60 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 So everything is installed. I had a issue with the cam timing. I kept coming up with 8* advanced when degreeing it, so i got a Rollmaster timing set. Ended up being the lifters getting caught up in the trays. The cam is at 2* advanced now. Started it up and it was misfiring. I never checked the 1st plug i put in the tip and electrode were touching. Car still misfired found my #4 cyl plug shit out. I had the back 2 wires wrapped with heat wrap because of the OBX's. Got new wires and tr6's. Car runs good and sounds awsome. I will have pics and idle clips up soon. What are the guys with OBX's doing with there back 2 plug wires. wraping the headers, wires, longer wires? Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
