I was just given some “Brodix BP ST 5.0 R Series Cylinder Heads CNC Ported” by a friend and was wondering how these would fare on a SD car? So far my 87 Notch has a 306 with mods that include Intake, BBK 70mm Spacer and TB,BBK long tubes,BBK Off Road Cats with X pipe to stainless piping with Borla XR-1’s. Currently running some crap E7 heads that don’t breath for anything and the car still did 251hp and 300+tq at Izzy Performance Dyno in Compton Ca. Now what I wanna know is how some of you SD guys feel this car would do with a Crower 15511 or a Steeda #19 cam and those new heads added?

Sounds like you should buy stock in a tire company after that.

The stock SD system isn't going to work well with all of that.

It's not SD that is difficult to deal with, it's the OEM SD EEC. It's not going to like your displacement variables much.

I think an aftermarket SD would be nice We have some folks around here that have tried a number of them. I couldn't tell ya which one I thought was best. I went TwEECer R/T back in the day and it was a bit of a pain.

I eventually just converted to MAF but there's def better stuff now than there was then.

Yeah my plan is to run SD with MegaSquirtPNP stand-alone system later down the line when cash frees up. A lot of tuners around the SoCal area run MSPNP with SD pushing ridiculous numbers for Drag, Autocross and Drifting. So for the moment I was gonna run a SD friendly cam to keep the vacuum and idle happy till then.

When a dog bone slipped out and my SD cam got eaten up, I went to that 15511 cam. It ran fine but at idle it would run rich. Never could get it too not idle rich, so I converted to MAF with a 70mm SN MAF unit.

Yeah I’m having that trouble of running rich at idle now. I think it’s the current mods and the speed density acting up. I guess if running that Crower I’d have the same mild richness? At this point I believe I’m buying with a MegaSquirt computer then cam it. Building a fresh 331 so we’ll see how it goes.
