No kidding.
Yeah, I had the orange Gutlass a while back. Amaral just got rid of his Chevelle (he's been back for a while now). He's got like four junkyard Integra's now - I have no idea what he's thinking.
I'll take the rest off to PM's...

I upgraded my website account... Hopefully this link to a soundclip works.
Edit: Looks like it did.
That's at 650rpm, HOT, in park.
The motor seems to be waking up with about 80-100 miles on it now. I still have a lot of KR down low, and it's driving me crazy. This morning it felt stronger than stock from about 2K up. There seems to be no need for a converter at all, power wise.... I don't know if the knock I'm getting is from the cam not liking to be lugged at low rpm's.

Is this with the 408, Ben? What size are you running there? Well into the 230's?
I hear you about the stall. I'm considering going bigger before it even goes in.

No, that was on stock motor. Running a 228/223 FMS cam for a turbo motor on the 408.
Bigger cam, or stall? I wouldn't go any bigger on either, if it were me. Depends on you and what you use your truck for though.

No kidding. what cam were you running with the stock motor? I forgot about the 'turbo' part of your 408.
i was considering a bigger stall... just a 3K - no bigger. I'm only tossing around the idea. I think I'll at least run this one seeing as I already have it.

Thankyou for trying out the TR220. It's the cam that I'm considering for my 5.3. I'll be watching this thread closely for more updates. Have you done any hard acceleration runs with it yet up to the higher RPMs?
