It's been awhile (http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=201084) since I’ve posted but have finally made the mods to my Cobra. I went with the 165cc AFR's (#1402), 1.7 Scorpion rockers, and used all recommended hardware. The only place I deviated from was the cam. After talking to the AFR tech's I was "talked" into a Comp cam that was not "e" legal but both AFR and Comp tech said would pass a "sniff" test but of course couldn't guarantee it. It's a (Comp P/N 35-351-8) XE270HR 218/224 dur @.050 and .512/.512 lift (.534/.534 with Scorpions) and 114° LSA. AFR wanted a 4* advance on the cam and it came out to 3* so I left it at that. Of course it was close in the p to v area as I had .083 on intake! The exhaust at .122 was much better. I reused my stock roller lifters as they were making no noise and looked in good shape. Beings how I converted from non adjustable pedestal mounts to studs with poly locks I obviously had to do some adjusting. I went to base circle, took out all the play in the pushrod, and gave it 3/4 turn more. Fired right up and clacked "mildly" all the way to operating temp. I only took it off idle (1500-2000rpm) a couple of times on the way to operating temp and it never did quite up. I shut it down, pulled the valve covers, and gave all of the adjusters an additional 1/4 turn. It help but seems to clack on initial firing, and after reaching operating temp. It might just be me but it seems to be ok in between these two points. Ideas? Also two other items I've been troubleshooting...a rolling idle problem that has been there since I bought the car but was never (200-400rpm flux) bad enough to worry about. With the new cam? it would roll from idle (approx 750-800rpm) to almost 2000rpm repeatedly before settling down again. I think I’ve (IAC,salt n pepper connectors, etc) pretty much fixed that problem but this brings up the last issue. Unless I have a lite load on the accelerator the car in any gear (1500rpm and lower) wants to buck. I'm pretty sure the cam is not "big" enough to cause this but I’m thinking it has to do with my idle quality issue. If it wasn't for the noise and this lite bucking the car has really responded to the changes as it even sounds meaner and pulls waaaay harder than it used to. I need to get this fixed so I can get some new dyno and track numbers. Any and all help appreciated. Thanks for listening.
