Pipeline fuel system per Harold :D Are you sure it will beat the comp cams hands down? Might get low 12's high 11's

Is im sure it will out perform the comp cam No, but I have to believe what my grinder tells me and Harold is a well respected man, so I TRUST him. Just as if I bought a cam from Crane, Comp, K-Motion you can only believe what you are told. There are a lot of people that highly recommend Harold cams. graemlins/hurray.gif

Deeboo,

Can you post the the valve event timing for that cam @ .020 lift?

Thanks,

Here's what I believe.
I believe that the Hooker 2460-1's are not SC's but are 1-5/8 x 15" shorty headers with a 3" x 4" collector. Compared to a well-designed system, I believe that these will cost you an average of 35 hp and 45#ft of torque from 1500 to 6000 rpm, a loss of about 1/2 second in the quarter. A high overlap cam like the huge one you picked needs a good scavenging exhaust system.
I believe that the 700R4 will like to run in an rpm range that your cam won't like. 60 mph @ 2000 rpm with the converter locked.
I believe 3/4 pipe plugs will be a little large for the oil galley plugs, they would be what you use to plug the deck holes. The oil galleys will take a 1/4 pipe plug.
I believe you'll need a roll bar in the car to run it at a NHRA strip.

i think everything sounds pretty good except the headers and exhaust. not sure if a single 3" pipe is good enough and the headers will surely cost you some power compared to a full length set, especially if the full length set are 1 3/4" primaries. what does the car weigh? if it weighs 3600lbs then i'm guessing low 12's, if it's more like 3200lbs then i'll say possibly high 11's.

take a look at the pictures:

Nice lookin system....I think it will hurt your performance by atleast 40 HP over full length headers and free flowing true duals though

I will just have to try this combination of parts with what I have now because I already have them. The only thing left to buy are the AFR heads after Christmas. I cannot afford to change these parts out at will, but I will keep the recommendation in mind once I need to make a few changes later down the road. As long as it can dominate the Cobras & GT Mustang I will be happy....

i don't think you'll have a problem doing that at all. ;)
the reason i say the exhaust will hurt it is because i know a guy who had a very similar motor with abou the same set up as you, except it's in a G-body malibu. when he ditched the single 3" system for dual 3" it picked his time up right at 3 tenths in the 1/4mi. he went from 11.70's to 11.40's.
i can understand not being able to change things so much due to the budget. shoot, i've had my 71 Chevelle since 1987 and i still don't have it where i want it, by along shot. smile.gif

This was some Crane Cams that I was considering, did I make the right choice by using the UDHarold/Lunati:

Crane Cam Tech suggested that I use the Crane
113841 Cam.

I had my mind set on the Crane 114681 Cam before the UDHarold Cam.
http://dab7.cranecams.com/SpecCard/DisplayCatalogCard.asp?PN=114681&B1=Display+Card

I will changing the headers to Holley 2210-1 a Tube Size 1 3/4 in. x 28 in., Collector Size 3 in.,Collector Length 6 1/2 in.
However it will be hard to run true duals on a street ride third gen Camaro without scrapping the ground and going over speed bumps. As for the rest of the exhaust I will try to see if I can fit 2-single 3" pipe to the Y-Collector and 3" to the areochamber muffler, then 2 1/2 exit out the rear. Take a look at the pictures the two long pipes will be 3" into the Y-Collector. Everything will probably stay the same. If im lucky enough to get on the track one day I would just disconnect the exhaust at the Y- Collector and run them open. opinions please.....
