New ET with TW heads/FTI cam

Thanks for all the support!

I degreed the cam, it was 3/4 of a degree off so there really wasn't anything that I could do since I could only advance and retard it in 2 degree increments.

Go-stang and Numbles, I'll PM you guys the next time we go to Byron. We don't even bother with GLD anymore, that place is going down the tubes. I heard Byron is being paved this week, but I don't know exactly what they're paving.

I still have to find where all that smoke was blowing from, I'm using up oil somewhere but it comes and goes. It only happens maybe once a week when I really get on it, and of course the one time of the week that it happens I'm at the strip.

How do you run a short belt? does it just run crank,water pump and alt.?? what size on our cars?

you have a cobra which has oil cooling lines

you need the smog delete bracket, or to still run to smog which only takes 1 hp to spin.

I should post one other story from that day. There was a guy I know with a Edelbrock RPM heads/intake and B303 cam combo who dynoed 310rwhp and 327rwtq in a 92 coupe. He was alot lighter then me with similar/more mods and running slicks, the best ET he had all day was [email protected] with a 1.8 60 foot. He seemed really frustrated after seeing my timeslip and had his lighter friend drive his car to no improvement.

I'm not sure about the differences in flow between the Twisted Wedge heads and the RPM heads, but for me running the Performer intake in a heavier car with slower 60 foots, I sure made his car look bad. He knew that I didn't have a tune yet. I'm pretty sure I won't dyno that much but seems like Ed was right, its not how much peak power you make, but the shape of your torque curve.
