here is my dyno graph, this was done with 110vp fuel, 2* added timing, on the race timing map w/maestro and at 25-27psi. with water/meth on had zero timing pull and with water/meth off i only had 1-2* of pull max. mods are in the sig, no cams yet trying to wait for ie to get theres in stock. but let me know what you think questions, comments, suggestions on new stuff to try and raise the numbers?

Log or tube exhaust mani?

really noone has any comments or complaints?

well then i have a question, since it doesent look like IE will ever get their cams back in stock what in your personal opinions(vortex) would be the next best thing for cams with the set-up i have? i would like the power band to be 4500-8000rpm range.

do you have logs to see what the kind of timing pull you are getting and you could possibly give it some more timing?

I like my 3658 Cat Cams.. Only got to try them for 100 miles till things went bad on my build but that 100 miles was good

how hard were they to install and time them? how much of a power gain did you get? would the 58's be good for my rpm range? thanks

Cams should make a big impact on this setup. IE made big gains w/ their testing and this turbo, you should see something similar up top too.

It was easy for me as Arnold built my head for me

... But you can order them from him and he can time them for you and you could install them...

I was still in the process of breaking engine in so didn't give it balls to the wall the whole time, but the few times I got on her It was amazing.... But I went from last year just stock everything except rods and BT and tune. to this year stroked to 2.0 SEM IM, 70mm TB and AEB head with those cams so can't say it was all from the cams

could you elaborate more on this? how would he time them the shipp them to me and still be in time?

If you look in my build thread you will see this pic

See those little yellow dots... Arnold put them there as there the marks for TDC... So he gets the gears on the cams, dials them in and tightens bolts and also tig welded them so they will not move... So when you get the cams in your head you have a reference spot to know where tdc is and also can count the rollers between the teeth... Hope that helps
