Question for smoke. After installing a boss manifold, many do not see a drop in ET. There may be some peak HP gains, but the car isnt going any faster. HP is a statistic in my opinion. On a full weight NA car like yours, with the SCJ setup and LTs, what are you putting up on the scoreboard?
(not trying to be a douche, just ET/MPH are the results I care about)

Thanks for the tip about having Shaun @ AED tune my car. He worked with me starting Thursday and had my tune down by Saturday. Awesome guy to work with and response and customer service are second to none. The car drives like stock now and absolutely rips from 4.5k to 7.5k+. Power and drivability are very smooth. I am very happy and hopefully will make it to a dyno soon to see what she puts down.
Here's a short vid testing out the tune.

Agreed and no offense taken. It's because the cars are most likely not geared properly. A 120 or more mph car needs 3.90's and a 115-119 needs 4.10's. ET is in the 60 for which with a boss or cj, you now need to launch the car at 6500-7000 and let it eat. I sold the car and combo, so unfortunately no track times. Sorry.
Anytime, Shaun and his resources are both great. Are you on E85 or pump and do you have cam limiters or none? Should be a good 480+ rwhp car. Bet it feels great!
I'm on 93 pump gas. No limiters. It's funny because no one around here wanted to tune it without limiters and Shaun did it remotely with datalogging. Amazing. I'm getting 23mpg on the highway. Car feels awesome. Thanks!
The only problem I have with N/A power in this engine....
You have to spin it high to get the power out of it without boost. That means I have to change out the stock 3.15 gears and limit myself to ~550 rwhp.
I'd prefer twins and forged internals with stock gears to maintain part throttle fuel economy, yet still be faster on the top end.

What the **** did that have to do with this thread at all?????
Lol ^^^ I agree.
That's fine. Take your fully loaded 4000 lb 700 rwhp turbo car into the high 10's at 130 and the 500-550 rwhp NA cars in this thread will run circles around it at 3500 lb spinning 7500, all while getting 28 mpg on the way home. 7500 is nothing to these motors and won't blow with a bad tank of fuel like a PA car
Everything! You have to short gear the car to make it perform as intended at the track. Fuel mpg will decrease due to gearing at interstate speeds.
LOL! The build I am doing is in the 9's. I'm impressed with your N/A knowledge, it's just not for me. I doubt you will get 28 mpg on the interstate at 70+ mph with 3.90+ gears.
P.S. JPC put a single turbo on and ran a 10.05 @ 145. Did you miss that thread?

We get it, you like turbos.....woohoo. The turbo thread is that way --->
Forgive me, I have all respect for N/A cars that are built/tuned right. I didn't cast the first stone talking about how bad ass a N/A car was and how slow a loaded GT with twins is.

Did you do the cam install?
No, I had the shop that was building my short block add them while the heads were off and upgraded valve springs as well.
No you came in here spewing bullshit about FI when this is a thread about n/a camshafts.
Funny also because everyone thinks there going to buy a turbo kit and put it on an auto and go 9's.
oke:Cool. I have thought about doing the cam swap in the stock motor or taking it somewhere. How many hours of labor did they charge you? I'm guessing since the engine was already out and apart the cam install didn't add much.
All the bullshit about who said what aside do you have any proof of these numbers outside of call this person to find out? When you say back cut valve job are you referring to a 3 axis valve job? What about unshrouding the valves?
I was already upgrading the valve springs since I run the boss intake and just had them substitute tbe comp cams for the stockers so there was no extra charge. Honestly I dont know what the labor charge would be for cams.
