:cool: Nice ride Paul. My money says those AIR fitt'ns will be plugged in less than 30 days now that the cats off. :yesnod:
BTW did u get yur stroker though smog at least once with the performance cam? Just curious how much cam we can legally get away with. U posted ur cam specs before but I forgot.
I plan to keep all my smog parts in storage just in case the state politicians need someone/group to setp on again. :eek:

Your car looks very good Paul. Very good shine. Looks like you had perfect weather for it.

My money says those AIR fitt'ns will be plugged in less than 30 days now that the cats off. BTW did u get yur stroker though smog at least once with the performance cam? Just curious how much cam we can legally get away with. U posted ur cam specs before but I forgot

Yea, Cardo the car passes fine with my cam. In fact I have the smog readings right here!

15MPH HC's allowable is 194 PPM and I measured 30
25MPH HC's allowable is 161 PPM and I measured 26

For CO the 15MPH Max is 1.26% and I measured 0.20
For CO the 25MPH Max is 1.06% and I measured 0.21

For NO the 15MPH Max is 1286PPM and I measured 773
For NO the 25MPH Max is 1146PPM and I measured 680


The Cam I am using is a Crane Powermax Hydraulic coupled with 1.6 roller rockers.

Cam specs .454 Intake lift and .480 exhaust with 272/284 duration but of course that is at a 1.5 rocker ratio so the numbers do go up from there a bit. The only reason I put in the stall convertor was to get a better hole shot - the car idles just fine.


:cheers:
