man who do i have to kill to hurry em up

had a look in the simulator with the cam specs. The profile was Clive's own one just ground to my timing requirements. My profile couldn't be done due to machine limitations on the small base circles or something along those lines.

So I find that the bottom end according to the sim is a bit lower but geez the top end is ridiculous lol. sim says 271hp from 5500 to 6000 lol.

As Clive was explaining the seat to seat duration may seem huge but a lot of it is almost nothing as its just few though lift at the valves as a means of smooth ramping. So realistically should be closer to my initial power curves and even Clive reckons his profile will get me very close to what I was after and said it should perform really well with this cam

Seems weird, they used to be real quick with there deliveries.

what VE did you put into the analyzer?
are you using engine analyzer pro by chance. i used to use EAP aeons ago.

sim says 271hp from 5500 to 6000 lol.

will the stock inlet manifold and 65mm flow enough to make that though? AFAIK its pretty restrictive?

what would a custom cam from Clive ground to supplied specs be worth roughly? I'm assuming they are billet cams?

[vlad01]

493 bucks iirc

the mace stuff is on its way.

Using an ecotec double row and machine oil pump cover.


punched in the block dowels and installed the rear oil gallery plugs. I was thinking where do I get a square Allen key like tool from? and then I realized that the square was 1/4".... just use a 1/4" drive bar and ratchet!

Can't wait to see the next installment
