    Is there anyone on here that actually knows what they are talking about?

    35-420-8 timing events are: IVO 1.5 BTDC IVC 33.5 ABDC EVO 41.5 BBDC EVC -6.5 ATDC Couldn't agree more as long as springs are up to par.

    Is there anyone on here that actually knows what they are talking about?

    "The exhaust restrictions on these heads are one of the primary reasons that most popular aftermarket cams (other than the FRPP cams) use a split pattern with an exhaust bias, such as the cam in question." Lets see stock heads have exh/int ratio of about 105/155 (depending on where you look)...

    5 lbs of Boost on 137k engine OK??

    Best way is doing it properly, boring, honing, new bearings, new rings, balance shortblock but bring your check book. If compression is good and your looking to redo block down road I'd have no problem throwing 5psi at it. Hell adding a decent set of heads and intake will give you the same...

    5 lbs of Boost on 137k engine OK??

    5psi of boost is not that much and if (as Mike Yount stated) the shortblock is in decent condition as most are you should have no problems. Of course this assumes and it's a big assumption that you have a good tune on the motor. Is this the best way to go, no but considering how well these...

    Is there anyone on here that actually knows what they are talking about?

    "i make over 500rwhp and run a smaller cam than that" With what power adder? 215/220 @ 0.05" is not big at all, stock stuff and all. That cam will make more torque and HP from 2500 on while seeing very little difference below.

    Is there anyone on here that actually knows what they are talking about?

    That cam has a 114 LSA so shouldn't have taken much to tune it w/SD. I have not owned a SD car so I'm guessing when you say it was tuned for the cam your talking about a chip? Can you post your time slip (or write down) so we can see how it was driven. Where is timing and fuel pressure set...

    TFS stage 1 cam?

    Yes the 2040 w/1.7s will clear with room to spare. Intake opens 0.05" at 0 degree TDC (basically intake starts opens as piston is on way down) and exhaust closes at TDC (0.05). TFS-1 will outperform the E, the 6037s are good heads but don't flow as well on exhaust as say TWs or AFRs...

    Gears 2!

    "90notch, maybe you should have someone explain what that code is doing. Because, it's not shutting any systems off at 134." Well atleast I'll admit when I wrong for this function to work the ON setting has to be set higher than the OFF setting. It's a built limiter that has to be turned...

    e7te top casting numbers mean anything? .. and another factory freak thread

    That number is probably something like a run # they used, has nothing to do with type of head. The casting # E7TE is what tells you what you head you have but chambers varied ever so slightly through the years.

    TFS stage 1 cam?

    You want to shoot for 0.100" on intake and 0.125" on exhaust for clearance. I personally would consider running a Crane 444221 (old 2030) over TFS-1 with those heads but TFS-1 vlv events per their site are: int opens 3 BTDC exh closes 4 BTDC You should have plenty of room but checking...

    Gears 2!

    Raph130 thought you might find this interesting. Here's a portion of the code off my stock A9L EEC program: PIP 961 # Minimum PIP period (PIP = 6250/maxRPM)HALF_FUEL_REV_LIMIT_ON 8000 # Turn on half-fuel rev limit...

    I ordered my Vortech SQ S Trim!

    "And landed him this " Looks to me like now he has some great paper weights for this desk. Strokers are cool and do free up more room under the hood but I'm still selling my forged 331ci shortblock to fund a SC setup.

    Front sits way too high after heads

    "Mainly i'm asking if its normal for the front to sit this much higher after alot of weight reduction in the nose area. " Yes and there's nothing wrong with cutting a 1/4 - 1/2 of spring.

    GEARS!

    I can't believe I'm wasting the time to answer this but here goes: 1) for a 28" tire, 4.10 rear gear and 1:1 trans gear (4 gear as you state) you would have to turn 7134rpm to hit 145mp...stock EEC has a 7000rpm fuel cutoff 2) stock EEC has a 134 MPH fuel cutoff 3) stock speedo only...

    I ordered my Vortech SQ S Trim!

    "All said and done, the stroker will be way more fun to drive since a lot of my driving is under 3000 anyway " Do you ever get on the throttle? My stroker rev'd so quick it was useless under 3000 rpm because of traction issues. Honestly I wish motor had less until 3000 so it could hook...

    Exhaust Dilemma

    There are many many brands of long tubes that will fit your car; bassani, hooker headers, BBK, MAC, etc. A 347ci with AFR205s (good choice) is definitely calling for atleast 1 3/4" headers. If you don't mind spending $$ for a real good set get the Bassani. Hooker Header makes a decent set too...
