Actually the $600 price tag vs $18,000 for a 3.6 turbo was the breaking factor in going to the suby side of H6 wonder.

Your camshafts are on a laundry list of internals to get from you. I'll combine those with some work on the Rottler and the heads should be good to go.

I retain the factory retainers and outer springs and replace the inner springs with a custom one. That's with the longer custom forged valves I have made for this particular camshaft set up. The valves increase the seat height and lift before coil bind.

I didn't talk about the details of the valvetrain in this thread because I posted all the specs in my performance camshaft thread. The profiles I'm using are basically awesome and depending upon the needs of your build you can run the full set up I used which is currently listed on the ecutune website, or the 264 duration exhaust cams with stock intake cams, or 256 intake and 256 exhaust cams. As you would probably guess the 256i/256e set would be your best naturally aspirated street performers and the 264 exhaust only would be your best bet for a cheap build that doesn't fall on it's face after 5400 rpms.

If you have a vertical machining center do a step deck; I'm very happy with mine.

Oh yes, 16,000 sq ft of machine facility

How much did you knock off the outer ridge on your particular case halves? ~.0015 is about the norm for most engines getting that treatment. I'm not looking for much power here. 450-500RWHP in a 2000lb car will be more than adequate! But anything to help seal those center cylinders is an added bonus.

yep, 15 tens

Higher RPM loaded and running. I always liked the sound of our engine N/A when it is running in its power band.

What are you doing Sunday? I'm thinking of going to sunday runday at Bradenton.

Crap. I'm very busy this weekend. Keep me posted though I would be very interested in doing that some time. I live just north of Orlando so it wouldn't be a long drive for me.

I have a question for you that is slightly off topic. You mentioned having some special plans for this motor. I was thinking intercooled turbo. Are you planning on keeping the iris system for that?

I was thinking of running the iris system like you are during break in, but then jamming open the iris valve to see if there are any noticable changes in idle or power. It might be interesting to see what the difference would be on a dyno. I doubt it is going to be significant for a FI application. I noticed you didn't have one installed for your supercharger kit.

Have you considered dyno tuning your mods "as is" when you are done breaking in the motor? It would be interesting to see. It would also be interesting to see what power improvements you see with your valve train/cam improvements and the stock bottom end.

[longassname]

ok, here's your bow

I'll be doing that with the engine I build for my pearlie. It's getting the 9.3 compression ratio pistons and 256 duration cams for both intake and exhaust.

Michael,
Nice! Looks like you've got the same fuel pressure gauge set up that I do
What's with what looks like 14 ga wires running around between the Alt and the PS pump?

My alternator wiring went bad some time ago and I replaced it.

Vroom Vroom time. Congrats. Have you fired it?
