Timtams that cams are you using. by looking at your dyno graph I would say stock.

**TIMTAMS** · 30-04-2008, 11:24 PM

yep stock cams indeed,

I just ran it at the creek, 1st pass was 11.8@117mph with a 1.9 60' then got warned get an andra lic for $110 to run in the 11's or get out so i practiced my starts for three runs got three 1.6's then lined up for a big one 6500rpm off the clutch and ........... electrical problems alt light on and no power till i backed off and cruised! MEH i will endeavour to check it all out as funny enough it did it to me last time i flogged it for a while

Timtams are you planning on keeping this car? If so what ignition system are you using?

I am going to keep it for quite a while yes, Im using a Wolf ecu with twin M&W ignitors and 4 dual post M&W coil packs. Why is that?

Cool! may I suggest using a set of 2tg 222 cams. They have a little more duration and lift than the stock cams and they should be cheap to get. If you want to spend some money Catcams has bigger cams for the 2tg. Since you are not running the 3tgte distributer this should be no problem using 3tg cams. I have got to say your KW numbers give me hope for my project.

Cool thanks for the info, i honestly wouldnt touch the cams unless jason ( Yellow rolla) thinks that would help as he is my engine builder and by no way do i know nearly enough to know if they would help or not. It is however something i will ask him about as im pretty sure thats what he is running in his car. Do remember though this car is awesome to drive for its power range as it still has plenty down low and is so "driveable", i dont want to lose that. i have some more vids of the launches i was practising the other night, man it launches hard and i am still so far off getting it spot on.

Shouldn't loose to much down low. Mine made 276 WHP and 268 Ft-lbs at 18 lbs of boost with stock intake manifold with the 2tg 222 cams. Ask him see what he says.
