chris hun...your car is amazing, and once she gets going things will look up...like i said before SWEETNESS WILL CONQUER...keep your head up and she will too...you've put so much effort, time, emotion and of course money into this baby that she's gotta roll stronger then ever, she has no other choice....hey maybe the water diet will help with you reaching 12's lol you never know

I like every single thing about your car. It all flows perfectly. Nice work!

lloks like all that work paid off for you. Looks great and good luck with everything
Skillz... secret cams + heavily ported head = no means it took away way too much torque down low.... the powerband moved way too far up to make these realistic on a street driven car whatsoever.
I didn't like putting my foot down at 1800 rpm and waiting about 6-7 seconds to get to 3000 rpm and then take off like a bat.

Slowly but surely may some day win this race...

Wow, then my motor must really suck, i have lots of head work, even bigger cams than those, a bigger turbo, lower compression, ect.
Something with you motor must have been seriously wrong if it took 6-7 seconds to hit 3000 rpm. In 6-7 seconds my cars hit 75 mph....

I'm sure if I'd known about that they would have been matched a lot better, but they're not. When the stock cams went back in, the car regained its low-end torque and lost that "kick" after 3500 rpm that the hybrid cams give you.
I'm not saying your motor is wrong or bad, I'm saying mine hated those cams for whatever reason. I've seen them on a stock motor and the car moves... but on the head on my car it's not going to happen.
And yes the timing was checked and re-checked 3 times.

I should have put a
face after saying my motor sucks, it ment as sarcasm even though it may not have looked that way.
The secret cams aren't all that much different from stock cams and are not that aggresive by any means. Taking that long to rev into your sweet stop in your power band tells me something else what going wrong other than the cams being matched for your set up.
Either way, good luck with everything. I hope you don't run into any more problems.

Do I really need to tell you what I think Chris? You should know after all the humping that I have done to this car! I cant wait till you get it back with the new tranny and shifter, then I will show you how the car is supposed to be driven
Hey buddy!
You know it... I've always loved your car. Also what Hilary said... dont give up on it! You have putted a lot of work and time into it.
Engine bay, turbo set up and IDI cover is amazing! Exterior and interior is sweet and mean all around as well!
I am so proud to say I am one of few who have drove this car!
Keep it up! and see you soon!
