    Loud noise after cam install...

    "When turning the motor over by hand, with the plugs out, it almost "binds" up for a second, and then goes away on every revolution i make...it just kind of gives a little resistance, and then frees itself up. this is seriously just sounding like the timing chain is making contact inside of the...

    revs per mile, help please!

    Find the tire mfg website and look up that tire. Most always list specs including revolutions per mile. A tire size not setup right with computer even if gearing is will throw off speedo a few mph(2-4 maybe). Reading 80 in a 65 sounds more like it's not recognizing a gear correction. Like said...

    mac flowpaths?

    Mac mufflers are pretty much only one's I run. I don't recommend using an X-pipe with them as it gives them a nasty raspy sound.

    Good NA setup??

    Highest rpm I see is on 1-2 shift which is 6400, 2-3 is at 6350 and 3-4 is at 6300. No need for me to rev it higher as horsepower is falling off just after 6100 with stock heads and I suppose intake also.

    What's the Best N/A Cam?

    Granted cam timing can be confusing as all hell. Once you start looking at it becomes easier to figure out. Retarding the cam moves the intake valve opening event closer to TDC. Which gives less of a chance of the valve kissing the piston. Piston is closer to TDC and then heading back down as...

    Is this a piggy back pulley or not?

    Look like a set of older BBK pulleys. I have seen that style pulley installed without the balancer before. Owners are always suprised when I point it out. As for bad rod bearing, yes is probably related to lack of balancer.
