flyboy55 replied to the thread Comp Cam limiters or lockout blocks.I get the premise of timing the advance or retard for different power. But, I chose the 127500s for my new rebuild. I believe with the lift and duration numbers, Comp says to use limiter. I thought I read somewhere that the Ford Performance... (see full post)
The Autoblip is one of my favorite modifications on my S197. I did think about getting the Xineering blip module and they are based a couple of miles away and could have installed it but I decided against it. The need for an android phone or...-
When you watch Cayman GT4 and 991GT3s walk away on the ups and downshifts, you can understand the need to put the pride away and use the available tech to compete. All the props for those who can do the "heel/toe dance". But I will say this...
Are they as good as the DarkHorse or DHR? No. But are they good and better than me twisting my right leg and ankle around while braking for Turn 7 at Sebring. Yes very much so. And if you watch the video you see me trick the system in Turn 10...

honeybadger replied to the thread Comp Cam limiters or lockout blocks.this echos my experience. To actually make the most power, you need to otpimize all of the pieces...have to get the right cam profile and the right cam timing dialed in with the tune....and that can mean adjusting the came timing a few times...

You need to tell us more about your car. For instance, what tires? Do you have adjustable camber plates installed on the front struts?FS, this is for autocross, correct?-
blacksheep-1 reacted to Bill Pemberton's post in the thread Track Alignment fro stock car with
Like.I think you will be fine and I usually ran -.5 to -.7 front to rear difference so go that route. You won't be able to get much camber with the stock set up but say you get to -1.5 in the front, a set up of -1.0 would be a good start in my opinion. -
blacksheep-1 reacted to 67GTA's post in the thread Rear diff whine after track sessions (Dark Horse) – normal? with Like.Does your Dark Horse have the Handling Package? I’m guessing it does and you’re hearing the electric pump for the differential cooling system.

Still prefer heel and toe, it is a tango that has your shifter as your dance partner and I always felt learning it well was what helped me keep my transmissions alive. My Mach 1 had a factory blip shift and I never really cared for it. Yes I am...
A note here. The fuel used was methanol since the Indy Car engines back then were running methanol. Also, we did have a few dyno fires early on since there was a dodgy seal between the 9th butterfly housing and the plenum and the leak fell...-
At Cosworth we called it Pre Compressor Injection where we had four high flow injectors in a ring at the turbo inlet. The PCI system worked very well to cool the incoming charge air as well as to add additional fuel. It was first used on the...

ArizonaBOSS reacted to Scootsmcgreggor's post in the thread S550 Does more power = more heat? with Like.I ducted my IC from the lower bumper grille and the radiator from the upper. Used Home Depot sheet aluminum. Super thin gauge but worked.

ArizonaBOSS reacted to honeybadger's post in the thread Comp Cam limiters or lockout blocks with Like.I ran lockouts in 2021 - car lost a lot of low end power and torque - like 75hp. but the power band was super fun on the road course. Not super fast, tho.FWIW - I run the L&M Engine cams and we didn't see any issues with VCT under any...
