a little update

walt1120 · March 8th, 2011, 09:07 PM

i posted a thread about 3 months ago about me camming my car. well things are finally done and finished last week. just though some of you might want to see. Cam/head install was done professionally by a friend of mine. heads were also assembled at a local machine shop. right now the car is sitting at a place called radical racing waiting to be dyno'd.

What has been installed:
212/218 .55 cam from ssms
918 springs
compcams retainers
ported heads w/ stock valves (transferred over from my old heads)
ported lower - no imrc
windstar upper w/ 65mm tb
screamon demon coilpack
MSD ignition wires
24lb fuel injectors

car will be on the dyno hopefully tommorow and ill post a sheet whenever i get it.

in about another week or two im having 4.10's and a posi put on also.

Car runs, but runs like shit lol. it cant really hold an idle and stalls out. sounds good while on the throttle though. A/F and timing are way off so i cant drive it without this dyno tune. we've done the best we could with my handheld to sort out the A/F so it runs a little better but im going to let the pro's sort it out.

what to you guys guess its going to put down?
im hoping 220-230, idk if this cam has it in it though.

between the parts and install, easily over $2k. if you can do it all yourself it would be alot cheaper.

so it may have been better to just supercharge it, but now if/when i do supercharge it...ill make alot more power than a stock 3.8 motor.

at this point im debating whether to get forged internals of i do...

walt1120 · March 9th, 2011, 12:38 PM

looks like ill be heading over to the dyno place around 4. hopefully they finish it today.

bigdawg042891@aol.com · March 9th, 2011, 12:54 PM

ya congrats man im about to start the same build in a week or 2 just gota get the cam ordered i have everything else i need

ESG-642T · March 9th, 2011, 01:16 PM

I wonder if the idle is cam related, or windstar related?

mustangmike! · March 9th, 2011, 01:37 PM

i would say partly windstar. I had a hard time tweaking mine until it idled ok. It still isnt great

solidhadriel · March 9th, 2011, 05:13 PM

Nice job man. I would have said get a turbo for that cost...but you are right on the money...when you do get a turbo that thing should rip.

definitely a large part is the cam, the guy said the cam timing was way off but i imagine the windstar screwed with it as well
