New cam is in....

Since I am devoting the car to 90% track duty I figured it was time to up the ante in the power dept....My ultimate goals are to run consistent 9's

I took out my baby cam (222/228 .544/.538 112) and put in something a little bigger.(246/254 .613/.590 112) I test fired it tonight and it sounds NASTY. Now on to the dyno to get it tuned.....

Anyone want to guess how much it puts down. It made 422/447 with the old cam...but through a T56.
Changes from last dyno
M6 to 700r4
Borla to 3" true duals
stock to 42# injectors
Bigger cam

In the near future
Custom Single Plane

Yep...it's gonna chop. Hopefully you won't have to spin it to the limits of the PCM to get it to make big numbers.

the car should make peak power around 65-6800...we took into acount the 7200rpm limit...but I wanted to take advantage of the single plane as much as possible

No need for a name change ...I can still eat rice with the car...it will just be harder to get them to race.

I have a race right now with a heavily modified STI...upgraded turbo, supporting mods, meth injection...the funny thing is he called me out, and he is only planning on running low 12's high 11's @ 115....he brags about his 1.6 60' times

the car will be tuned on the 19th of this month...then on to the track.

Then I will be sending the car for a prototype Intake

then back to the dyno...and back to the track

We wanted to have solid before and after #'s on the intake.

Then I have to save more money$$$$$$$

I have the same thing happen to me all the time as well, Mid 12 sec cars calling me out and wondering why they get beat by bus lengths, and i only run mid 11s.
