I'm going to be working on my engine performance now, and just want your opinion on the BALANCE of this set up. Simple, but still appreciate opinions from the pros.
Intake: SRI or CAI Web Cams (possibly get them done to same specs by local machine shop) (Then probably get Air/Fuel ratio tuned) Exhaust: 2.25 Catback done at shop (want to keep it legal) 2.25 Street Series Magnaflow 5X8 Oval Ignition: Anything need to be enhanced here? I'm thinking no. Thanks. And do you think a local machine shop would do custom cams to the Web Cam specs or quality? |

Camshafts are very specialized parts and most local shops do NOT do regrinds because it requires specialized tools/machines. That said, an engine is an engine... tuning is done almost the same way for every internal combustion 4 stroke motor. As for your list, I personally would also add basic weight reduction mods, which IMO, bring out more life in a motor than anything an intake or exhaust could do. Light flywheel (see dr. tweak)! -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

Port/Polish the head! Maybe go forged on those pistons and get inverted dome tops for more compression...then tune. Ususally cams need stiffer springs (upgrade) and possibly fuel management too i.e., fuel pump (upgrade), injectors (upgrade), and TUNE. Good Luck!

not sure which motor your talking about but i would suggest a good set of adjustable cam gears. because then you can increase you lobe separation angle and that will broaden you dyno chart. imo with a lightweight flywheel it is not worth it for a daily driver because the weight of the flywheel is there to smooth out the power strokes of the engine so when you take away that weight the car feels like it is idling rough.

Why would you waste your money on forged pistons? -------------------- |

if you got forged pistons with inverted domes you why had to get the crank rebalanced.
