ok, i have a stock LTR setup and i know that the hot cam is a bit much.
Has anyone advanced the cam while installing it to bring down more power down low where the TPI needs it?

just curious....i think that maybe i should do tests of straight up and advanced because retarding it would obviously put the powerband up too high.

any opinions?

 

Tom K. runs mid 13s with it with some World products heads, a stock looking TPI, and full exaust

i'm thinking that advancing the cam would be a good idea.

I have a ported Edelbrock base (Felpro 1205 gasket)and 52mm throttle body, but the runners are stock on my car and my cam is advanced 2 degrees. I think the car feels really good, even though I am running a 2:77 rear gear right now. The car is pretty weak (seems stock) until it reaches about 2800-3000 rpm and then it starts making a ton of torque. The car feels sort of like a 2 stroke dirt bikes power band 8^) I am installing a set of 3:70 gears soon and could let you know what it does for me. I have ran it at Famoso raceway in Bakersfield California about 5 times with this motor and each time it was well over 100 degrees out. My launch sucks! The best 60' I have ever had is a 2.21, so I could do better with practice. My best time is in my signature. Hope this helps.....
