Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Good luck!!!
I also picked up those cams so it will be good to hear what you think. Obviously my setup isnt the exact same but still cool to see what I can expect.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Driving it up to map in a few minutes to have the nhra chassis inspector check it out. Hopefully it should pass with flying colors. Let me know if you need a hand with your car!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Good thing I decided to do a cam swap, I found 3 of the 5 nuts on my adjustable cam gears were finger tight. The shield plate that attaches to the head had one of the small fasteners ready to fall out. Who knows another couple of miles and the whole motor could have been F’d. Now the cam gears have Locktite Red applied.
The idle is a little rougher, not too bad though. You can physically see the difference in the cams when you set them side by side with the S3’s. The S3’s are monsters. I wish I could have done them when I built the motor, since I’m a little concerned about valve to piston clearance. I’m just going to let her buck and see what happens. I took the car around the block in front wheel drive mode and the tires break free at about 15 psi making the care useless. Now I know why transfer cases take so much abuse, it’s like the front have no aid in the traction department. These 1G’s are closer to rear wheel drives.
Now I just need to get the transfer case in it and tune it up, should be exciting!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Woo! Good to see a few cars getting ready for proving grounds! I'm excited to see you and Kevin both make some passes in this year. We have to have some fast cars around here, seems there's quite a few really quick 1g's nationwide this year.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Most after market pistons have enough room with a 1mm over valve.

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
Good to know John, I took a compression check after I smoked the front tires to almost 8k. All is good!

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I took out the broken transfer case and replaced it with a factory one. Now it's just a matter of some tuning and an oil change to get the new cams dialed in.
Pic of the broken case:

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
I remember splitting the front of my case in half at the shootout, but mine wasn't nearly that bad. You know you're supposed to get out of it when smoke and parts start flying out, don't you?

Re: Mark's 1G Winter Projects
All tuned up! I did a roll on in second gear and spun the tires super bad. I tried again in third and the tires spun a little at 7800 RPM! This was on a flat entrance ramp with the QTP’s on it! It has never spun 3rd gear, ever. The spool is a little slower, from what I can tell about 200 RPM. It makes 40 psi by 6200 RPM from a 3rd roll on. I also raised the rev limiter to 9.5K. It’s been awhile since I drove it so it’s hard to tell from my memory if it’s faster. The only thing I could do is to compare a 3rd gear roll on run from last year. It is 0.45 seconds faster from 6K RPM to 8.5K RPM. With 3 psi less boost too. Hopefully the lazier spool will make for a little less of a violent launch off of the line and save the drive train a little. I’m now 100% excited to see if I can beat my personal best MPH and time, right off of the trailer!
