[yeahloh95]

i have the ranger cam and will give it a try and go from there .

If we could poke Frank along, we could have another meaningfull data point.
We swapped his early TC cam (small) for my old Engle 55 cam and he picked up a good bit (both ET and MPH). I believe we could see even more gain with a Ranger Roller in his car but need to get him to get the parts rounded up, and let me do it ;) Back in the day, Joe Morgan started all this RR stuff when he went from the Engle 55 to a RR and picked up almost 4 mph.

What you have to consider about the Ranger cam is where it is "happy" matches with the T3 turbo so perfectly, I just dont think you could design a better match. Bo says his 1.1 will out perform it, but I have not tested it myself. The RR is more or less done by 5800 RPM (retarded a little) but so are these heads, the turbine, and so many other things. It just makes power where those parts are still working.

you better talk him out of ANOTHER car he's looking at....I already tried.

[yeahloh95]

bob i would be happy with 5800 mines done at 5000 and thats just not enough rpm for me.

[somethingclever]

Troy...you launch it at 750rpm...so 5000 max still gives 4250 useful....that should be enough, no? :)

[yeahloh95]

oh you are bringing back prp memories and my "low" launch rpm . next time it will be popin off the limiter,lol

[Martin0660]

you launch it at 750rpm

Nah John, these things idle at 950, so that's where the narrow RPM range comes from ;)

[Martin0660]

Got the head off the car, torn down, valves lapped in, Valve lash shimmed / set, and ready to go back on the car. Funny thing here, I took a perfectly good non interference motor and made it into an interference motor (break timing belt, bend valves)







Now just to put the whole thing together ;)

[yeahloh95]

i have scaled the photo and fugured out your lift and duration from your pics thanks



j/k lol

[Martin0660]

Troy - Pictures where intentionally blurry to prevent that ;) Besides, you should know, you cant measure valve lift on these off the engine with HLA's If the cam works, I will let you know some of the specs :D

No more short blocks your shut off!

Quit yer bitchin' and get another victim dusted off for me ;) We are going to test the high side of the new boost gauge

It don't go past 40?

[Martin0660]

You know me, it's a low boost combo Any more, and we will have to quit using bolts and weld the head to one of your core shortblocks.

When you pickin up the dif..

When you pickin up the dif..

Was planning this week, but things didnt work out. I need stuff welded, but it's not all ready yet. Hoping to get most of that set up this weekend and be over early next week latest. You reading this Frankie?
