Pokey Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I agree with you. Cams are one of the most important parts to add on, and one of the most difficult too. I don't have dyno time, and honestly, everything that I know about cars and buidling motors...I learned from reading books and countless magazines on how to do it. I had prolly close to 600 magazines and books from the last 8+ years (the wife got tired of them laying around everywhere so I tossed out about 300 when we moved :waaa:). Since I was 15...if it had something to do with performance I was reading it, LoL. I've had a "hot rod" truck, the 69 C-10 I told you about in another topic, and although I didn't build the motor...the cam maintenance was the hardest thing to keep up. If it has to do with an older carb'd motor, I can answer damn near any question there is, I think...LoL.But when it comes to newer stuff, it's like Chinese to me. The whole electronics thing messes me up. So that's all you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MegaloManiac Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 MegaLow, if you were local, or wanted to take the road trip, I would sponsor the dyno time so you could see the before and after of the mods. Especially the header and throttle body before/after. if i were to pony up 3gs for the performance mods & drive to cali...How long would it take to install, tune & tested?

CompressionFed Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I live in VA actually, not Cali. I could do everything including cam install, header install, and throttle body, then tune the cams in about 3 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompressionFed Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 If your in Dallas, I know some great shops down there that can do this. There's really no need for the road trip. I'm happy to answer any questions you have though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompressionFed Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 BTW, the only tuning you can do on your stock ECU would be intake/exhaust timing. Other than that the only dyno time you would want would be before and after pulls to measure the gains. Most dyno shops charge between $35-75 for 3 pulls.

str86diesel Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 :hj: Interesting...I didn't know you lived in the DFW area. I travel down that way all the time for work and it looks like i'll be head'n down that way again here pretty soon. I work for a clothing company, so we are always doing shows in the convention center... Quote 2k6 Dodge Ram 2500...CUMMINS POWERED - SOLD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
