I would rather see you invest in a ported 92/92 setup. And don't hate on the nitrous my friend. Its alot of fun and makes for great insurence.
Nice car BTW... real clean. |
Thanks for the compliment
yes, as mentioned, I was thinking about doing it all at once... cam, IM, and TB

yea... i've read the cam guide quite a few times. It's pretty much how I've learned to read what each part of a cam does and what effects the duration, lsa, lift, etc... will have. Great write-up!
as far as when you say "same style"... what is it that you mean? little confused there lol
thanks for the input btw!

With my lsa+advance bottom is great and it has has totally perfect manners around town. For a shelf cam a Tsunami might be pretty good for what you are looking for but get PG or PZ to spec you one and that will prolly be your best bet. I have always admired your build but thought it could use a little more cam. Since you have AFR heads maybe give Tony a call. And I think if you could pick up a used 90/90 like I did it would optimize your set up without breaking the bank...I don't think you will feel a sotp diff between a 90/92/96.
GREAT LUCk...... |
Thanks for the kind words man!
who makes the tsunami cam? I'll have to take a look at it... when it gets closer to the time I can actually afford to do this mod I'll probably bug Patrick, Predator, and/or Tony and give em a call/PM

That said, if you are willing to spring for a FAST manifold, you might consider getting it ported with the money you would spend on another camshaft. While you won't get 50rwhp from those mods, you'll get a decent increase, and still have your same drivability. |
I was absolutely looking at getting it ported... I don't buy stuff unless I can get the best for the most part... I'd rather wait and save than settle. I believe in only doing it once then moving on to the next mod LOL
again thanks for all the kind words and input guys! every bit of this helps!
