Bartman Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I just recently completed upgrading the engine and I made a short video of it running. I uploaded it here at HybridZ, so let me know if you can view it and what you think. http://album.hybridz.org/data/500/570z1.wmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastzcars Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 SWEEEEEEEET Bartman:mrgreen: Boy you sure did put in a bigger cam! Love the sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Thanks for all the positive comments. The exhaust system is dual 2.5" with a pair of Flowtech Afterburner mufflers. At first I was only going to do a small upgrade, but I wound up doing quite a bit including, upgrading to a Comp Cams custom ground cam, Pro Magnum 1.6 roller rockers, double springs, magnum pushrods, and hydraulic roller lifters. I also upgraded to a vented opti, replaced the timing set with a Cloyes double roller, and installed an electric water pump. I also got what Airflow Performance Engineering calls a Stage IIII Port job with 2.00 and 1.56 stainless steel valves. The cam with the 1.6 roller rockers gives me a total lift of .580 and .587 with 112 lobe separation. I'm not quite sure which figures you generally use for duration, but the cam card states: duration @.006 tappet lift 286 304 duration @ .050 236 242. I'm now shoping for a laptop cable and someone to reprogram my PCM to make the best use of my upgrades. As of now I'm thinking of using PCMforless.

that240guy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hey Bartman, I met you over at the car show at the Queen Mary late last year or earlier this year. I don't remember. But anyway, our shop specializes in LT1 dyno tuning. Don't worry about buying a cable or software. Come check out the shop and give Mike a call. He was at the show too and saw your car there. I think he might have given you his card too. www.haddadmotorsports.com 310-412-8032 My name is Dave by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Meister Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Bart, That cam sounds great!! I'm happy to see that you also upgraded everything to maximize the cam's potential.
