    Re: Firebird will be alive soon...

    Well shoot, post up a timeslip then! That's an accomplishment and i think there is some kind of a reward going over of ftv6 to the guy who breaks the street legal record.

    What was your cam/valvetrain setup?

      meh. It was a couple years ago, and I've moved twice since then. Plus, fullthrottle can blow me. I wouldn't have needed an engine had FlyinGTP been competant enough to correctly torque the lower intake manifold bolts on my previous engine.

          Exact same as Magnus' cam setup. It was the cam out of his car. lol. I can't even remember what I ate for lunch last tuesday. Fat chance of me remembering cam specs years later.

              You don't say? Figures. Wonder where he got that torque info from?

                  so you made it into the 11s on a stock engine other than a cam? I'm impressed

                    Spraying had alot more to do with it than the cam. Even James went bottom 12's on a stock cam.

                    Wes, I think he got the torque specs from the inside of a cereal box. Half were so tight I needed a 2ft breaker bar to get them out, and the other half were not even finger tight.

                        Sounds pretty stupid on his part. Probably didn't even torque them down, just used a ratchet till it was tight. I used some medium grade threadlocker on mine, has enough flex, but I make ABSOLUTELY sure that my torque wrenches are well taken care of. They are always set to their lowest settings when not in use, so I can count on the torque being right.

                        BTW, I am availiable if you need any help with the little things on the car, just send me an IM. I think I owe you still for the harnass, I feel I shorted you when I got it.

                          Says the guy who sprayed 175 on a stock bottom end, with the stock intake.. Not a good idea.. Fuel pools in the lower intake and well BOOM!!!.. If nitrous backfire occured when you ran a 175 shot.. The torque specs would be discernable let alone would they matter

                            Dual stage, wet and dry. I prefer to add fuel at the injector, but I wasn't going to get enough out of 30's so I had a small wet shot on top of my big dry hit. I never sprayed the car after I got it back from the cam swap. It locked up in less than 8 miles.
