I just bought the track heat intake , ported and polished heads, stage 2 comp cams, 75mm throttle body, 30lb injectors, what kind of power you think i will make , has slp non catted exhaust, c&l intake, under drive pullys, i have heard i can stick with the factory springs for the cam is that true?

Don't know what you will make, but I would be really interested in seeing a baseline and after mod dyno on the car. These are some mods that I was considering.

I think Comp recommends upgraded springs with their stage 2 cams. I would do it for insurance.

No, you dont need them... im using stock cam gears and im sure others on here are doing the same

What brand of heads did you buy?

TylerByers18 · May 24, 2012

Didn't buy a specific brand they are from a guy in new york who said they are ported but we will see when it gets here, I paid 1000 bucks for all the stuff I'm getting

very nice!!! sounds like a hell of a deal.

if you want to degree the cams you will need adjustable cam gears check out this write up. you should get the new beehive springs if you want to drive it hard otherwise youll get valve float at high RPM. good luck and have fun.

That intake manifold is bad ass looking, now bolt them all on!

Mr. Rustypwnz · Jun 6, 2012

Degree those cams in! 80% of the time you will have to retard the cam 2-3deg to not hit the valves.

Maybe 285-290rwhp.

Wow, great deal! Looking forward to checking this out.

You should DEFINITELY degree the cams in. And to do that, you need adjustable gears. However, don't get the adjustable cam gears (like Comp sells); get the TFS adjustable crank gears. There's no 'adjustment', so to speak, that can somehow get unaligned. And they're cheap. And about degreeing the cams, my cams were SIX DEGREES from what they were speced at. Install a cam that's 6 degrees advanced....and bye-bye intake valves.

I've seen stock head, stock intake, cam-only 4.6s make 295-300 rwhp with pretty much every bolt on in the book. So I'd think you'd knock down 310-320 pretty easily. The only thing I see going against you is that you don't have long tubes.

I know a guy with a full bolt-on, Trickflow HCI 4.6. I think it only made like 320 rwhp, but runs 12.0s @ 113-114 mph on a full weight convertible. I'd say that's pretty strong, and I'd think you'd be close to that.

+1 on degreeing your cams. send them to mhs if you dont have the capability. my ds cam was 6 degrees retarded, ps was 4 degrees retarded.

TylerByers18 · Jun 12, 2012

Well I got bad news on all this crap, turns out the heads will be 350 a head to get line honed and put bearings in them and on top of that the heads just looked cleaned up to the machine shop/ peformance shop and there not ported. So with that in mind I already put this pain in the ass intake on and it looks pretty bad ass tho. Since I didnt have to pull the heads off I put the intake on about 4 days ago. Cant feel any real difference yet but hopefully will after the cam install. I cant get it tuned untill the 26th of june which happens to be my bday which is cool so I plan on doing the cams the night before and get it towed the next morning to the shop and im so afraid to do the cam gears/ crank gear im afraid im going to bend the valves worse that what it would if i didnt do them and i wont know if the valves will make contact untill after i put them in. I have no clue on how to degree cams either any suggestions?????????
