    F cam sounds like stock cam ?

    ok, I just came in from outside. I unplugged the IAC after the car was warm and it died. I gave the idle screw a couple turns, started it without IAC and now it sounds like it should (lumpy). I also found out that with the IAC plugged in, I can back the idle screw all the way off, and it still...

    F cam sounds like stock cam ?

    yeah, thats pretty much why I posted it. I thought it might have been something that I did wrong, but both cams sound stock. The old combo consisted of (like I said earlier) a very similar cam and Victor Jr. heads. Whoever through the old combination together didn't do their homework, and the...

    F cam sounds like stock cam ?

    I have no way to post a sound clip of this, but I can tell you that I used to own a 93 with Edelbrock performer heads, 1.7 RR, E303 cam, GT40 intake, headers, exhaust etc. and it sounded great at idle. I can also tell you that I have a 90 notch sitting in my driveway that is bone stock except...

    F cam sounds like stock cam ?

    I just listened to all of those and there is NO WAY that it sounds like any of those. I'm telling you it idles like a stocker. What could cause this? Like I said, I haven't even driven it down the road yet. The car has no FMU on it right now, and only 24# injectors, so the owner has to...

    F cam sounds like stock cam ?

    Yup, I'm positive. It has F303 stamped on it. The cam that I took out of it was also 512 lift, It was just about identical to the F cam except it had a bit more duration on the exhaust side. (it sounded stock also, that's why we ordered the F cam in the first place)

    F cam sounds like stock cam ?

    I just put together a car for a friend. AFR 165s, F303 cam, 1.6 rockers, Performer RPM intake, 70mm TB, 24#ers, Base model Powerdyne, off road H pipe, 2 chamber flows, etc. I haven't even driven the car down the road yet, because it's been raining, but I can tell you that it idles like a stock...

    P/V clearance AFR165s?

    How big of a cam can I use with the AFR 165s and a 1.6 rocker and stock pistons? Can anybody recomend a decent cam for a 5speed car with these heads, Edelbrock RPM intake, 70mm TB, 73MAF, 24#ers, Powerdyne set at 9psi, 3.73s, and exhaust?

    strange vaccum problem

    ok, I found the problem. Somebody had taken the intake off and when they put the gaskets back on, they had them out of place. So the vaccum leak was coming from the lifter valley area. This would explain why spraying carb cleaner had no effect on the idle. It was sucking so much air through...

    strange vaccum problem

    I am having a problem that hopefully somebody here can help me with. The car has a bone stock speed density motor. The problem is that no matter what I do, I cannot get the idle to come down lower than 1500. The throttle body is closed all the way and is still revving. There are no vaccum...
