Well, its been 5 weeks of driving on the truck cam. And I installed a timing chain on a boat motor this weekend giving me exactly enough cash for all the parts I need.

So I have sitting on the garage floor..
MTC-5
Melling lifters
tc gasket set
intake gasket set

Part of my suspension I had ripped out for redoing before the boat ordeal.

I think I know what my memorial day weekend will consist of

Then time for the custom home intake... that I'm still debating on a design.

 

im glad to hear you didnt have to get rid of it dale, you know youd rather have a v6 anyway, who needs a vert, youre just asking for leaks, lol. im gonna get some tires soon to stick better and we should take a run down the 1/4 mile sometime since we have such similar engine setups

 

OO, I still want a vert, v6 or v8, I dont care. But a vert is in order! We dont get alot of rain here, but when we do, we get it!!

I've never been on a drag track, so if you have, you'd win. I just drive like a maniac on the cornors

I'd like to dyno it, and or track sometime. But next up is an intake design that I will be posting questions on sometime in the near future.

straight from summits site, doward has said its an amazing cam for a turbo, hes got it and hes running it w/ his turbo. thats what im running as well, didnt notice a huge difference, but it was 5 months between before and after driving so i cant be sure on the results, and the 87 ranger i was driving, anything will be better, lol



oh yeah, hurray, i finally hit 1000 posts, lol

 

yeah that does look like a pretty decent cam for a turbo/supercharged motor.
ill have to keep that one in mind.if i cant find something with more lift

 

It's a great cam for a turbo or supercharged motor - if you're staying N/A, it's a step over stock, but I'd really recommend something in the 212/212 or slightly bigger range
