Do I need a bigger cam?
I think I might be in need of a bigger cam to help take advantage of my ported heads...
I was thinking about trying this new 233/239 that XE started to make. What do you guys think?
lift Intake Exhaust
.050 36.5 23/0
.100 62.9 48.1
.150 93.3 71
.200 131.7 90.5
.250 163.1 113.6
.300 185.6 126.2
.350 215.7 137.8
.400 234.5 149
.450 248.7 163.6
.500 257.7 172.5
.550 265.1 181.6
.600 271.1 184.2
I currently have the xe 224/230 and only ran 109.27 mph at the track (12.98, had a bad clutch though)

I have a fairly good tune in it right now... I have played with the tuning and I dont think its the problem. It had been scanned, etc.

Has this combination been tuned on a dyno?

i had it dynoed, and they did not hook up a wideband, it produced 308.3 rwhp @ 5500 rpm, 299.1 rwtq @ 5250 rpm. The torque dropped pretty hard after 5400, but it had an extremely strait torque curve. This was done on a mustang dyno btw.

Should I just buy my own wideband and rent a dyno?

He likes to throw money at parts rather than solutions lol
Can't afford a dyno tune but he can afford to replace the cam, AGAIN!
