New N/A numbers

Some of you may remember last year that I had some issues with my TFS heads and was starting to piece together my big bore Teksid build. The engine that I was running in the car at that time was a junk yard NPI motor that I bought to learn how to rebuild a bottom end. It was a stock NPI shortblock that I freshened up, and with my TFS 38cc heads, it put the compression right around 11.3:1. I was running a set of MHS stage 3 N/A cams with the stock intake manifold, and I was making 324/324 at the wheels on that combo. Well, I tore that bottom end apart last spring chasing down what I thought was a spun bearing. It ended up being a chewed up valve guide in my TFS heads. So since the junk yard bottom and was all apart, I said heck with it, and put my new TFS heads on my stock PI short block that was sitting in the corner and put it in the car. I bought a set of CMS stage 3 N/A cams, and threw it all together to get me by until I can build my Teksid engine. I took the car to get tuned and with the stock short block, TFS heads, 10.3:1 compression, CMS stage 3 cams, and stock PI intake, I made 350rwhp/347rwtq. Im very happy with the results and did not think that I would make that kind of power, especially sine I went down a full point of compression. For reference, my buddys 02 GT with full bolt ons and my old VT stage 2 cams put down in the 260's on the same dyno. The tuner is going to email my dyno sheet, so once I get that Ill post it up. Big thanks to Jim @ Cushman Motorsports with helping me choose the right cam and Terry @ Street Lethal Performance!

 

Trust me Im anxious to see it too! lol

 

Thanks guys. Im really curious to see what itll put down with a built, higher compression short block that can rev, and an aftermarket intake. I have almost all of the pieces to start my Teksid build except for the pistons. Im thinking of just going +.020" over instead of the big bore route. Everyone wants an arm and a leg to sleeve the block, and I don't know if I can justify $2000 for an additional 20 hp. I also have everything that I would need to run the Street Burner intake manifold...I have a Cobra throttle body, Bullitt throttle and cruise cables, Bullitt throttle/cruise bracket, and 90mm MAF. So all I really need is a set of pistons and the intake manifold, and I have all of the parts that I need to get things going...

 

Thanks dude!

 

No, the car idles just fine, and I can drive it anywhere. Like MadStang said, its all in the tune...

 

Heres my dyno sheet for those of you that are interested:

 

Yea its still the old 2V lol. No problems with the PCV system because I deleted it lol.

Well I put my stock short block back in just to get the car running and driving again. I also just happened to buy a set of bigger cams for my old motor before I found out that the heads were shot. So I was actually hoping that I would make close to the same HP as before going back to the stock short block because I was dropping a full point of compression by doing so, and I was hoping that the new larger cams would offset the compression drop and put me back where I was powerwise...so that plus an additional 25rwhp was a pleasant surprise...lol
