Absolutely! This pig should make some pretty sick power and be a much nicer piece in general as i'm taking my time and having many things ceramic coated, and polished. Accufab makes some top quality pieces, thats for sure!

looking good..

Thanks bud!

It will be a lightly cleaned up TFS R intake w/ 90mm t.b. opening.
There's pics & flow #'s for it in this thread if you look back through the pages.

Glad to see you got your pushrod issue resolved

That looks sweet!!!

Yes, I'm glad too!!!
It was a long road but I learned alot along the way. I feel there isn't a valvetrain geometry issue I couldn't resolve now!
Thanks buddy!





UPDATE:


I got the fuel system mocked up and ready to throw in. I kinda wish I would have bought a new tank cover as mine isn't in the greatest condition..........

Robert,

what was the solution to the geometry issues?

What rockers are those & what length pushrod did you end up with?

What springs specs are you running with the TLSR cam?

Going with a different set of Rockers and adding .080" lash caps to the valve stems. The TFS Rocker geometry required me to use a much longer pushrod.

The Rockers i'm using are the MEI Miller Mid-Lift Rockers and I ended up with a 7.400" pushrod while using the .080" lash caps

The Springs are Comp Cams and they are 250# on the seat and 510# open
with a installed height of 1.850

You'd be suprised how good a quick coat of spray paint will make them look.

I should go 9.50's @ 142-145 mph

I'll be happy with consistent 9.80-10.00's @ 140+

[Jivepepper]

Very impressive, How much power is going to put If I haven't asked? I hope to break 135+ mph in good air and 10.5-10.7 on 17 drs and maybe low 10's with 15" dr's and skinnes.

I'm looking to be in the 700+ rwhp range which should be no problem.
The car should weigh around 3200 with me in it.

I got a bunch of parts back from Q.C. Coatings and just finished re-assembling these:









I have a few other parts too but I need to snap some pics of them.
I'm very happy with the quality and customer service that Q.C. Coating provided.
They also have great prices!
