No update in a month, bump.

Talked to him the other day. Said he has it running, but has to do a cam swap. Only pulling 6" vac at idle is making a bitch to even idle he said.

He's doing the cam swap now. I have seen the pics on facebook just waiting to see them here.

sorry guys been lazy posting pics and shit... quick update.. yes did cam swap and thats done then starter decided to shit bed and eat up flexplate. parts ordered and should recieve today.. reinstall and finally should be able to run it off the jacks this sun. then i will update with all new pics and shit... the car sounds fantastic and iam pumped..

alpha-n does not su[pport boost..need speed density, hence the cam swap... removed ionner valve springs and broke in the cam.. then reinstalled inner's and ran it once when the starter shit... it did pull 14in at idle 1000 rpm..should work.. went from 108 lsa to 113 lsa.. lil less intake dur and lift .507 284d and .525 306 d exh. idles way smoother... more to come

all in order and proper holes..

then i just repeat process for reinstalling springs...

broke the bitch in 2500 rpm for 29 mins with occassional burps to splash oil; on cam yada yada

then starter took a shit .. and ate flywheel up.. as stated.. starter cracked the shoulder leaving it to move a tad and ate the fuck out of the flexplate.. and it would not disengage.. trouble

flexplate damage... it was old and been through 3 starters..

and new starter..

so now iam waiting here on a rainy friday waiting for my flexplate to arrive.. since the first one they sent wrong..gotta love summit shit is 2 days out on orders..

Should have called the Grand Wizard, happy to have given some advice... I just did a speed density Procharged 454 that pulled 5" at idle, had an electric vacuum pump for the brake booster. Drives and idles great at all temps.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #171 on:** June 16, 2013, 11:35:20 AM »

5" at idle surprises me that you didn't go tps. Was it not an option or am I too inexperienced? I haven't dealt with a cam that big yet

As someone else stated, you can't do that to a boosted car.

I get the feeling there might be a parts combo conflict here that wasn't exactly the cam. Trying to idle too low an rpm (which can be bad for a big mechanical lash cam, i so equipped), or the wrong converter loading the motor and causing issues when dropped into gear.

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #173 on:** June 16, 2013, 12:06:28 PM »

People hate to gear it, but converters are fucking critical to getting a RWD car out of the hole. A serious build usually requires 3-6 converter changes, working with a good converter guy, before you find what the car wants. You ready to bleed some money and pull some trannies, bro?

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #174 on:** June 17, 2013, 09:31:10 AM »

Why couldn't you switch to map at 0psi kinda like an itb car? Again, curious and wanting to learn since I have yet to com across this.
