My ride is loping

[MoMorg]

Just finished up my cam install today. Comp Cams X-ER 224/230 .581/.592
I added an U/D pulley and a 160 t-stat for drag race consistency. I still have to get the tune dialed in. Based on my logs the car is making about 45-50 more HP. I guess we'll see at the track.

I still don't have headers, but I'm still debating whether I'll go turbo or max NA effort.

I have it idling at 800 rpm and it's pretty nice so far. I still have some more tweaking to do. Overall the sound isn't too different, except for a more noticeable lope. Nothing like if I had headers on the car. This may be a nice sleeper if I can pull out mid 12's this weekend!!!

That's awesome...you were already turning some great numbers before the cam...very jealous ;)

Congrats. Headers would really help, but I know you have to decide on the turbo option 1st.

no doubt. I couldn't believe how crappy the cat pipes. Looks like someone drilled a hole in the cat at some odd angle and welded a pipe. If I can get some cheap replacement pipes done in 2 1/2" I may do that as a temporary measure. But the flanges may up the cost

Nice! I'm jealous of you & Brandon... got my cam stuff still sitting next to my desk!

That's alright I'm jealous of your converter. You'll really appreciate it with the cam. It's tough to get a clean idle with the stock stall and not have the car run off when you let off the brake.
