Mike what is your 60 foot? Mine was 1.86 best so far. I need to get a 3500 stall.......

Damn Mike thats awesome. Hey get the CVs and forget about it. It was an easy swap. Well I got the engine torn down today and ready to put the 282 back in. I will post the new times on Saturday morning. Do you think I can hit high 11s with the cam change? Its only 4 tenths away from 11 now. Everyone was freakin on my car. I ordered some cutouts as well so I can run open exhaust to increase HP a bit. Well Mike Im following your trail. The next project is ordering the 383 stroker kit. I think I will keep my 282 because I dont want to change my springs on my heads. I was thinking I may be a little lean so I will try stepping up to 74/84 on the next runs after my initial with the 282. Also big question....are the dial a jets really worth the install? Has anyone dealt with these for performance? There is suppose to be a Viper coming to the track Friday so I hope I can line up with him. He is running 12.2s I hear. It should be a good race...wish me luck.....Still undefeated so far....i also run 1 gallon of Xylene to 9 gallons of 92 octane when I race.....seems to like it. Terry

Hey Mike! Good to hear. Well the cam is going back in before next month. With the 270HR I managed these numbers..thru the mufflers. 60" 1.86 1/8th 7.99 87MPH 1/4 12.4 at 110.89 No probs in hooking at all.... I am gonna get the stroker kit soon...I found one that has the damper and flex plate together and balanced for $1000. I will probably wait to put the 282 back in then but knowing me Ill do it before that. What jets are u running in the primary and secondaries? Have you broke anything yet? How much time would I gain by running open headers? Are u running 1 3/4s? or 5/8s? P.S. I also noticed this cam doesnt like any initial advance timing. The more I advance it the slower it ran. The more I retarded it the faster...Is yours like that? Terry

Roger that, thanks Scotty....

1ST SLIPS on the site but I posted ...hope you can see them... Terry

Scotty, I am going off the dyno test results from Comp CAms on the 270 vs the 282HR. It says on thier engine the 270 made 352HP and the 282 made 402. With that said shouldnt I run faster by swapping the old 282 back in? Any thought? I will give up only 20 in torque but pick up 50HP according to the dyno results chart. What should I do? Terry

Good job but looks like you had some serious wheel spin out of the hole....fix that and you can run mid to low 12s!!!

Ok I guess everyone knows that I stupidly took out my XR282HR cam and put in a XR270HR before I ran the car....ZFAN was right...ALWAYS run your car before doing anything drastic. Well the 270 cam with my setup puts out about 50 to 60 less HP and I ran the quarter in 12.4 at 110.86. 5 runs yielded all 12.4 to 5 range at the same speed. 7.99 in the 8th at 87MPH. I didnt get beat by anyone! I also beat two C5 corvettes and one with an L06 in it. Wonderful night at the track. I beat up a Mustang Cobra and New black TransAm. Everyone was tripping on my car and I think I made about 50 news friends. So with that said I am sure I should be in the elevens once I put my XR282 back in.....Damn thats gonna take about 5 hours. Im going again next Friday to test the bigger cam. This is fun stuff. By the way the GTech said I was running 13.4s so its a whole second off!!!! ZFAN what jets are you running in your carb and what carb? I started with 72/80 on a Holley 750DP and Proform main body....Im sure Ill need to jet it up for the bigger cam right?? Terry

Terry, where is your regulator located? Do these things have diaphrams in them rthat are sensitive to heat? All this happens when the car get hot as well... should I take out the foam? Does this matter greatly otherwise? Terry

Terry, Im having some wierd problems with my fuel delivery. Im running an Aluminum 10 Gallon cell with a 1/2 inch braided hose to the pump and out the pump into a PAXTON filer then 1/2 inch all the way to the front through a regulator and then into the carbs. Im running the Holley black. Well when I start it everything is fine and then about 5 minutes the pressure drops drops drops until its on ZERO. I cut off the car and can hear bubbling in the tank, the pump is almost silent etc... Afetr it sits for awhile its goes back to normal. I do have foam in the tank but the air line works fine and the gas comes out ok etc....What in the world could this problem be...i am ready to throw away the whole car....any suggestions????? Terry CorZette

OK cam has been changed....previously I was running 0-60 in 5.3 sec...with the old cam. After the install of the new without tuning I went 5.13. I had my timing advanced. The engine didnt like it so I started retarding it little by little. I went 5.00 after two runs. Still will retard more and check. So the timing is near. I used a GTEc for the tuning. The next thing I did was pull the plugs. They were a little wet so I gapped them from .45 to .38 and ran again. 4.85!!!! consistently. It still smells rich so Iw ill start down jetting the secondaries next weekend and go from there. man this GTec is a good tuning tool. Im still getting good traction but the RPMS go up much faster now. I figure a 4.5 or 6 is in the works with proper jetting. Will let all know later. The car pulls real hard and feels good. Traction is good...should be in the 12s for now. 383 coming with Rapture 700R4... does anyone know anything about http://www.bassassengines.com? Over rated??? Terry

Where did u order your kit from? I want one for my next build Terry

Pyro, I already have an LSD. It always leaves two black lines and will fish tail at will...I have some examples on my site...I just need to hook up and want to make sure the money is well spent

Thanks for the info...well Im confused. I need to get some good tires for next months opening. Are the MT slick allowed on the street? Terry

Kevin, your right. The tranny gears, diff and stall was not totally matched for what I was looking for. I had two choices. change my diff amd torque converter, or change the cam to more properly match what I have. I didnt have the bucks to do the first choice so I hope I will see the difference Im looking for this way. Terry

Thanks for the input guys....Mike I envy you....I want a 383. However I am running 3"54 rear and 700R4 with 2800 stall. I need to get the BFgoodrich drag radials I guess. Im running 275 50 15 Nittos at the moment. I got the engine torn down today. Im waiting on the cam to come in. I hope to have it put together by Sunday....what a pain. Finally our track will open in May. Mike I may finally get to run it. Im looking to start another project so trying to decide 383 or 406. I suppose the 383 is the right choice for better support etc... Terry

Mike I didnt degree it and installed dot to dot. Is that much difference? I dont have a degree wheel... Terry

Thanks guys I appreciate it. I needed a little more launch power and the previous cam was too big...XR282HR....this should work just fine, I was still running a 5 sec 0-60 with a sluggish launch. This should put me well in the 4s....ZFAN I am struggling...lol Thanks for the compliments guys...more updates soon. I put on a bre rear spoilers that compliments her well... Terry

Can anyone chime in on performance of my new setup. AFR190 Heads Match Ported AFR Intake XR270HR COMP CAM 350 40 over 5.7 rods Flat tops with 5CC reliefs 1 5/8 Block Huggers Dual exhaush 2 1/2 Xpipe to two Dyno Max mufflers Holley 750DP with ProForm main body 70/80 jets Underdrive pully system 6A MSD ignition 2800 Stall Can anyone tell me the approx HP and torque numbers I should see. Desk Top I have seems high.... Terry

Stay away from the Holley Blue...damn second one in a year. I just order a Black from Ebay for 89 bucks to include shipping! I hope it works better. CZ

ZFAN, I must have more power........383 coming soon......if it wasnt for stinkin Japan I would have done it right the first time Terry

Well according to my dyno numbers I should be in the 11s but I guess I have gotten used to the power . at anyrate if he was running low 13s I guess the ole Zette will be somewhere in the 11s or low 12s anyways....

Probably what ever the stock 2003 EVO can run just for an idea. I read that it was around 13.5 or so....

ON3GO, whats up dude! If you ever make it to Angelo...look me up. Things are starting to fall in place for the Zette here now....

Tim, good one! LMAO.....
