...or a burnt wire laying up against a set of LTs.

All spark plugs are firing. (It's a purplish color) all seem fine. And no burn marks on wires

[429]

You're all chasing ghosts. The cam is either misground or installed off a tooth as shown by the early power peak and incorrect powerband.... as i said on the first page.

If it is off then it happened after starting it up. I checked several times to make sure it was lined up. And the rev limiter is still on kills it at 6000

[thahemp]

Gonna have to bite the bullet and pull it out to check. 429 ain't no dummy .

[TheBandit18]

O I see his sig I believe it. Ill have to find the time to take it apart.

On the lobe will it make this huge difference if it says 113.0 instead of the 113 +2?

[thahemp]

You're gonna need a degree wheel. Once you get it out it's just a mechanical inspection. Make sure everything reads out like the spec sheet says it should.

You might ask shawn if he'll look over your tune. I think he's got all the different softwares. He might be able to take a look.

It's not gonna happen after start up bandit. You either bolted it up right or wrong.

#1 piston which is the first piston on the left hand side (if your standing in front of the car) has to be at the very top.

[TheBandit18]

Ok. Ill find a day real soon to check that. Shawn is going to talk to the tuner hopefully tomorrow I forgot the guy was closed today

I'm still going to check them tomorrow anyways but just curious.

Its not as noticeable as you would think. Even after starting up hundreds of cars after a cam install its very difficult to hear if it has a slight miss. I think im pretty good at noticing it, but again its very hard to spot if its a random misfire. The codes need to be turned on or using a laser temp gun will often work.

The slightest misfire can kill power.

[1sikRS]

yea thats way off u mite wanna try and get a refund and.have.shawn tune it

This cam needs to be able to pull to 6500 6k you are cutting at least 30hp on the table.

I posted my sheet that was tuned and installed at Lethal by Shawn and Nick.
you can flat see this cam makes all its power from 5500-6400. so by limiting yours at 6k you are losing power.

#1 ^^this!

I put the new gear on right where the old gear was. Shawn said he is going to call the tuner today and see if there is anything wrong on the part
