A little news from Shawn at VA Speed.

UPDATE:after a few more dyno pulls we did manage to raise the vacuum reading from .7 to 1.0 in. vacuum.and gained a couple hp but nothing to talk about.We are just fighting a losing battle with this intake restriction.Going to sawp out the cam and see what happens-probably nothing great due to the intake,but we have high hopes. :D:D

Too bad they can't just toss a single plane carb setup on there for giggles while they are at it. :D

I'm sure they could but that really wouldn't teach us anything. We all want this thing to be a strong runner with no downside - except maybe MPG. :lol:

Well, I meant in terms of seeing just how much of a choke that intake is. :) Not a permanent install, of course.

IDEA: Lend me $7k - due 2050 - and I'll have Shawn strap a Kinsler ITB on it and we'll go for 750 on the engine dyno. :D.

Haha! Just pm me your address and I'll get that check out to you first thing in the morning. :rofl:

On that note, someone posted a couple of months ago that thanks to the economy, the Harrops were only 2k now. :eek:

I'd be very surprised if that's true. Wish it was though.

Damn Kevin it kind of sucks to have all that potential power with the reworked heads and a couple cam swap ideas only to have it choked out by the intake.

It would be quite a feather in Shawn's hat if he can make the FAST work.

We're going to find out. Wish us luck.

Hi Kevin,

Let's say the FAST is going to bring your KPA in a happy zone, and I am convinced Shawn will find a way...

At this point you are limited by your camshaft timing event (overlap low rev reversion) if your intent is still to keep your car as a Gentleman Cruiser...whence the ITB...
