Guys i have to decided to come up to Jimmy Cone in Mt. Airy MD on August 2nd. I made this date so everybody could plan. I was making this the 2nd so you could plan ahead.

 

Is that the right date? August 12 is a Tuesday.

As an aside, Jimmy Cone happens on the first and third Saturday of the month.

 

Whoops scratch the 12th, i meant for the 2nd. We could do it the 16th too. I think i should setup a poll.

 

I should be able to make both days. I was up there this past Saturday. Really nice cars are showing up since its been nice out.

Should figure on getting there ~5:30. It starts to fill up pretty quick after that. I was the lone 3rd gen

 

wow 5:30, i'm just walking into work at 4:30 and don't get out till 8:30.

 

The lone thirdgen running 11s

 

I went this past Sat and all I saw was a lone IROC. I was hoping TTA 1387 was there but no luck. Oh well I'll be there on the 2nd though looking forward to seeing some of you guys there.

 

I was there from 5:00-to about 8:15. I was parked next to a great looking red 85 TA with 20K miles, still on Eagle GT's! When I was leaving, there was a Gray IROC coming in. There was also a 91-92 Z28 Conv. there for awhile.

Lots of great cars this weekend. Especially older stock cars, I guess from the show at Damascus Chevy. Even a couple 7 sec. cars, although I never did see where the trailer was parked

I should be able to make it out on the 2nd and see 3rd gens out in force

 

Well,

I was hoping to make it but I am currently doing what I always seem to be doing ....

... I took my running car apart to make it faster. I sold all my supercharger parts and I am going to attempt to maximize my NA perforamance. This, of course, means a new camshaft. I'm working with Joe Overton at Lethal EFI Performance and will be running one of his cams along with some CC987 springs. Also getting my power steering back on and installing a stock-type water pump (Edelbrock Victor). Not sure when I will be done ... maybe in a month or so.

This will be the fourth cam that has been in this stock shortblock.

Tim,Tim,Tim....
I guess this means 11's N/A now? Joe is certainly getting a nice rep over at EFA. If I were to somehow get another 4th gen, I would be getting one of his cams.

Hope to see your car run again soon. I remember seeing run 12.2 or pretty close to that a couple of years ago. Might have even been before I got the TA and was still running the WS6, man that's been awhile

 

Yea - I haven't run in a long time ... and I am getting a lot of grief about it

But, it's hard to run something that I know isn't optimal. I picked my current cam as a dual purpose cam. I know it will run better with something else.

Does Lethal EFI have a website? Looking to get a cam for my future 406.

 

I'm not sure if Lethal EFI has a website or not. Lethal EFI is basically Joe Overton. AFAIK, Joe has the fastest NA LT1 in the country. Very smart, nice guy who has a lot of cam experience. I was recommended by a guy who knows Joe. I'm not sure if you could just go right to him ... maybe you could? I don't know.

Joe seems pretty down to earth. Offers up lots of info when asked, unless its a secret

I'm out for this Saturday Going up to New York to check out a car. So it'll have to be the 16th for me.

Rob

 

Well then I'll wait till the 16th too. I'm really looking forward to seeing the TTA.
I guess I'll just have to find something else to do like installing the new intake

 

I would like to come out, but I don't think it's in the cards this weekend. I drove the car to work today, and have some issues after getting it all put back together. Ugghh.

 

Ok the 16th it is.

 

lol...looks like the 16th is better for everyone.
I'll see if I can get some more thidgens to come out

 

It's possible that I MIGHT have the new cam stabbed in by then. Newest round of mods happening right now ...

1) Replace Mez electric pump with Edelbrock HiFlow Aluminum Mechanical Pump
2) Reinstall stock bracketry along with stock fast ratio power steering box
3) March Power & Amp 3-piece billet aluminum underdrive pullies
4) Comp Cams billet aluminum 3-Piece timing cover
5) Joe Overton custom grind cam
6) Comp Cams 987 springs
7) Viton valve seals
8) Dynomax UltraFlo Welded 'straight through' muffler (so long blowmaster)

TRAXION,
Hey I see you're still using a 3" catback, I thought I remember reading you were gonna use a 4" Mufflex. Do you think it's even worth going to a 4" even with your level of mods? Thanks...

BTW, I'm kinda glad you're going back to the NA route. I wanted to see how fast you can take that car without power adders. Good luck!

 

Welp, got it all worked out now and the car is good to go, it's fun to drive it again!

 

I think the exhaust is over rated. I ran 12.1x@111with the stock 2.75" cat-back.

I have a 3" SLP cat-back now and have run a best so far of 121.x.

I think the 3" would be plenty.

All IMHO.

 

I agree with Rob. The 3" should be fine with my setup. IMHO - I think the key is having a muffler that can flow A LOT. The 4th gen guys are using Borlas with the cutout wide open. I don't have that option .... NOR do I want that option since I want the power to ALWAYS be there. I shouldn't have to get out of my car and screw around with stuff to get more power. That's why I am putting in the Dynomax ultra-flo straight through muffler.
