Finally got 'er done. About 300 miles and all is well this time. At least the guy that did my shortblock washed out the block after machining! Last shop didn't and cost me a lunati crank, cc306 cam, bearings and a carillo rod to be resized, not to mention all the labor, time and $$$. Luckily the piston didn't slap hard enough to hurt the TEA cnc'd heads!
Anyway, basics: 97 TA, M6, 383, SRP forged pistons, carillo rods, ohio forged crank, splayed caps, TEA heads, 1.6 rr's, 58mm TB, XFI 230/236 cam, Hooker long tubes, OBD1 conversion, SPEC stage III clutch.
Still needs fine tuning and a rear end (stock won't last long with a good hook!).
Mainly wanted to pos this so people can see what that XFI cam sounds like if you are interested. Seems to work pretty good, no times yet of course. Not quite as lopey as the 306 but pretty close. Hope to have her to the track soon.

sounds good, what is your exhaust system, it sounded a little more mellow then I expected or was that just the camera?

KY97TAM6

Forgot that, it's a Borla. Also forgot the 36lb/hr SVO's.
The idle is a HAIR high, running around 1000-1025. If the idle was down a little, it would sound a little lopier. (Lopier, is that a word? )
Camera is piece o' crap. It's an old HP and really clips the audio down. Planning on getting a new one before vacation here in a few weeks and will get a little better clip.

Don't trust your stock tach if that's what you're guaging the idle by. Who tuned it? My idle is 800-900 or so, but that sounds almost identical to my XFI. Videos in sig.

Which TEA heads did you get? I wanna see some numbers from that beast!

KY97TAM6

Yes that was stock tach. Need to hook up to the laptop and see where it really is.
These are the stage III TEA's from last spring. Flow #'s were just about as advertised (#'s provided by TEA).
The tune is from PCM for less, still for the cc306 cam and done 3 years ago. And never made it to fine tuning either. That's why I say it needs tuning, but still get's up and moves. Not sure if Brian will remember me or if I can still get a tune now with the different cam. May have to pay for a new one.

Nice car SeaWolf, that does sound awefully familiar

mattbailey

Sounds good man!

seawolf06

You're going to have to pay for another tune, but it should be well worth it. He tuned mine and it's pretty darn close. I could always get more from a dyno tune when I get the money.

sounds great.

Very nice, sounds good.

Do you have the specs of the cam? Just curious i have a soild roller 230/236 on a 112lsa and it doesnt seem to chop that much and its a 383 also. Maybe its because i have true duals w dynomax bullets

seawolf06

Choppiness will depend on a lot of things, but that's really pretty small for a solid roller cam. The XFI cams are really aggressive.

klrz28

Yeah suppose to be going into the 350 but the cam bearings were bad. So we pulled it out and got it Stroked. I'm thinkin 248/254 over the winter on a 110 or 108
