Sorry about that, daddy duties got in the way.
When I read t Moss's article about advancing the camshaft four degrees and he gained power throughout the entire rpm, I now can attest to that is the TRUTH!!! I gained power from idle all the way through the entire range with torque to back it up, on speed density........in fact, pulls harder and better than the custom ground, minus the punch. This cam compliments the lazy stock shift patterns programmed into the stock ECU much better this way but I'm sure gas mileage or longevity may suffer. Idles smooth like stock, doesn't die at a light, vacuum in gear is 18.5.
When I say punch
, upper rpm throttle response seems slower, the custom ground and MAF seemed to be/have the best throttle response so far but may just be how speed density is....?
only problem that I'm having now as I think I'm running out of fuel at about 4,200 RPM the engine just kind of stalls right at 4200 and sits there and kind of fluctuates up and down a couple hundred RPM so either my fuel pump isn't putting out enough fuel (which is 2 months old) like the sock is clogged or the fuel filter, but more than likely my pressure's dropping at wide open throttle or my parts just flow too much air, but I noticed it after I installed the one inch phenolic spacer on the Edelbrock upper lower even with the custom ground. I noticed it with the aftermarket Cam that it did the exact same thing all of the sudden at 4200 RPM the engine would just kind of stall. Not sure if a 1" TB spacer, 1" phenolic plenum spacer, on top of an already larger port Edelbrock upper/lower causes any kind of wot vacuum issues???
Usually when something is clogged the truck will just fall on it's face at wot and run fine till about 2500rpm.
my baumannator was set to shift at around 4k and didn't notice it till I switched back to speed density, stock shift points are at 4500, which I can't get to, so now I have to rig a hose to be able watch pressure under load while I drive. Cuz at park/neutral checks fine, even revving.
also noticed my temp Guage is all over the place, if I roll the window up and down the needle goes up?? If I roll the window all the way up and keep the button down, the needle will climb all the way to max..........so, not sure whats going on with that. And a CEL popped up after 10 miles or so, which I lost my code reader so gotta jump the test connector.
So far so good, I'm happy with the performance so far, this is with stock 1.6 rockers, cobra 1.72's are on the bench.
Timing is set to 10 deg with spout out. Spout in shows 10 at idle as well. And I've got a awful loud belt squeal now...........new belt to, well less than a year old. Not sure if something got misaligned???? Idler pulley and tensioner are new.
