Cams and intake, going under the knife.

150-160 on a public road, not smart.

150-60 on a public road, not smart.

never said it was a public road

but what do you estimate my top end looking like with this sort of motor build and a 4.10?

 

[Kiohtee]

Just curious, but why does top speed matter? While I do street race, why does top speed really matter? :shrug:

If you haven't clearly won or lost the race by 130mph tops, be the wiser one and stop it there. With your setup you'll definitely have the power to go 150-160mph, but I'm not sure about top end with 4.10s.

I should have my car back in two or three weeks and you'll be more than welcome to come check it out (built motor, custom grind Comp cams, etc.).

sounds bad as Zhisel, and i love the mountains i was born in Asheville

I had been wanting to run the Maxton standing mile event for about 10 years now but i believe it was shut down in the last year. The Texas mile event is still up and running though.

Yes, i am addicted to a car trying to pull me out the back window when i step on it but top speed does have it's own allure to me. it's not so much about winning a race by x miles per hour as just having fun on my own, every once in a while.


(i'm a contractor so once in a blue moon i find out about an asphalt gem before the public does)

top speed with any gear is going to be far greater then your car has the power/areo to push it at 150+

is there a disadvantage i am not comprehending to running the 106400 or even 106500 cam? the car is not going to be a sole daily driver, and if there's not a problem with it i would prefer the more aggressive (quote; very rough) idle of the 106500. it also rates it for 6500 rpm vs 6000.

would the 106500, a 90mm maf and 39# cobra injectors with _____ new pump work?

You'll need to run aftermarket springs if you want to use those big cams. Plus when comp rates the rpm for the cams in the real world its much higher. I put in 106460's (blower cams) in my car and it peaked at 6800......only because I ran out of MAFand Fuel. It's probably 7k peak cams but I'd have to spin it to 7500 to reap the benefits.

Bigger the cam the less low end you have. Do you really want that for a street car?

the 106500s have driveability issues, the 106400s do not.

so the 106400 would lope more aggressively than the 106160 but still be streetable? that would only make sense about trading a little torque for rpm the the 400 but can you tell much difference from the driver seat with 4.10 gear?

$1300 is a little more spendy than the 5.0 cams but really not as bad as i had expected

 

[slow2v]

cam job will run u over 2k with springs/tune
and then ALOT more if ur not doing labor yourself

I can make 220 degree cams lope wildy. If that's all you want then go with what you have and tighten the lsa.

 

[NC Mystic]

Am i losing something in translation or are you saying the B head cams can lope like the video?

 

[na svt]

I though you already had 106160s

 

[Mystic-SVT]

OP, I'll sell you my brand new 106100 comp cams if you're interested.

 

[NVRL8TE]

^^^ PM me a price as well.

 

[bumsoil]

Pm Me too. ^^^

 

[Mystic-SVT]

PM me too! Oh, wait

lol

PM's on the way

 

[NC Mystic]

i haven't bought any cams yet, still picking them out

If you get the 106100s and want a real nasty idle, set them at 106/110.

 

[NC Mystic]

okay, so to summarize what i am thinking at this point and get your opinions since this thread has evolved a little

for the motor work and getting it up and running i am looking at this;

C head swap:
heads, milled .030"
lower intake
adapter for the B upper
throttle and cruise cables (i don't need cruise, and i still need a 99 throttle cable in use with the B upper intake and adaptor in use?)
modded B fuel rails (not sure what this entails, i'll probably need to find pics for the shop)
modded B coolant crossover(same as rails, pics needed probably)
compression test and fingers crossed all is good

if i go with the 106160 cam i can use stock springs? 106/110 for the meanest idle? sounds like a winner to me
stock injectors and fuel pump?
fluidyn* radiator? or is that a fail

Since everything is coming off anyway i thought it would be nifty to switch to c.o.p. harness with the kit thats for sale here on svtp now. i would just need the harness, cop wire set, c head valve covers (do the 99 and 04 covers use the same cop wire covers?)
i'd really like to switch to the cop setup so i can use the Shelby "Powered by svt" fluted wire covers

is that it?

is the aeroforce interceptor gauge worth the money or should i pick a 4th autometer lunar gauge?

Mystic-svt, i am interested in those cams. i sent you a pm, if it didn't go through properly send one my way please


thanks all

i talked to fast lane about it and they said a ball park figure for the motor work labor was $1,500. I'm guessing that doesn't include the tune just based on the number but i will ask next time i speak with them. seemed like a pretty fair price to me and would give me some peace of mind knowing it came out of their shop.
