Re: cam intake centerline question
i finished the headers , crossover , downpipe and stuff
i am now checking things on the engine as the last time
it ran ( a year ago ) it was a big pig . i had built a new
engine and it was a dog so bad i pulled it back out
and had my machine shop reassemble the short block
changing to a gapless ring while i was at it. it still was a dog .
very fast turbo spoolup whatever boost level i wanted . big oinker
idled at 14 in vacuum in gear and 150ish cranking compression ,
it ran smooth just no power . no engine codes , just low duty
cycles on the injectors and still park plugs that looked rich .
i tried different programs with no luck matter what i tried .
a couple of symptoms it had was melting plugs boots and
wires and the fast spoolup which would say something like retarded
ignition timing ( checked ) or possibly cam timing off .. the only thing
that changed from the original engine i had not checked yet was
the cam timing on this custom comp cam . i have not had a
problem before but never know .
