The original post indicated a tune has been done.
Where did you have it dynoed? I live in Griffin. Just curious.
How much do custom cams from those guys normally cost? Theres a place down the street from me called Reed cams and I think they want $300 for a custom cam, they do pretty good work too, my dad had a custom Reed cam in his 72 mach.
Im having trouble trying to figure out what to do because Im getting a lot of conflicting answers, and all of them seem to make pretty good sense.
Nothing more than playing with the base timing and fuel pressure a little, but there has been no real tune done yet.
You have the parts make them work together..TUne it first ,then see where you need to go..
Throwing parts at it, is not gonna make it faster..
Most 5.0 guys think a tune is adjusting the fuel pressure and bumping up timing on the dizzy.
Most dont see that more power can be had with a REAL tune than the smoke and mirrors of days long gone,plus drivability is better than stock after a real tune..Reguardless of injectors and maf.
My electrical problems were a result of bad TFI wires and a bad aftermarket ignition. I rewired it with a FMS harness so my electrical issues are gone now.
I'm pretty much checking the cam off the list at this point. I've decided that I really don't want to change it and if this is truly a mis matched combo problem then I'll just get some TFS heads and sell my old ones. It shouldn't end up costing me any more than it would to put a different cam in it, it just wont suck as bad to just swap out the heads.
Well you have to look at it from my point of view. I cant have the car down for more than a few days. The cam swap would require that I pull the heads to notch the pistons adding at least 2 or 3 days of work. I can do a head swap in a day, so that makes it the obvious winner. Also a big cam will most likely make the car suck to drive on the street.
