I pulled my cam sensor and reinstalled after installing new lifter and inspecting the roll pen.
Reinstalled using Caspers tool,car starts and runs,but is lazy taking off.l used to go 1.6 60 foot but can only 2.6 today. I have read all I can in Vortex and you said you will not like the way it runs as it will be spraying fuel 180 degs out of phase.
Can this make it run lazy?
-
Probably quicker to pull it and put it back in 180* around than it took to post this. Do that and get back to us. What else did you do to it be sides the new lifter? What just a lifter? Cam in good shape?
-
Like Rich said, try reinstalling it and be sure it's on TDC when you install it.
-
Yes a lifter collapsed lob look ok
I pulled it twice hooked the compression gage up bump it to compression and set to Casper’s instructions. I don’t think I’m 180 out not my first time to do this,but I’m no expert. It just seems like it could be 180 out because of how it runs. I’ll get a chance this weekend to do it again.
Has anyone put it in 180 and can confirm my symptoms?
-
Removed and reinstalled seems to run better,roads are wet not sure if it’s better but the seat of the pants fills better
-
Cool.

Back to the track today,same results.100% sure it’s set right.This Edge converter was 2200 @ 0 psi [size=78%]today 1200 @ 0 psi and was 2800 @ 5 psi , today 1500 and won’t go any higher rpm or above 5 psi boost.[/size]
[/size][size=78%]I have no data reloaded my computer , reflased my scanmaster G and power logger, worked last Sunday, and today it’s a pos. So trying to fix two problems.going back to a old computer with XP and the cable to the Powerlogger. I’ll try to make A pull on the street as dumb as I think that is.driving 100 miles round trip and $30 bucks to make a pass with the possibility of no data.i don’t see our hear a exhaust leak.[/size]

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge and line to get the gauge on the windshield to verify the fuel pressure is good when accelerating(no fuel pressure in the car, bad things could happen) ?
When was your last fuel filter replacement?
I'm guessing you have an upgraded pump and "hot wire" powering it.
-
No on the fuel gauge ,I’ll be working on that if I cant get my logger to work I have a way to log fuel pressure.no KR so fare,I’m trying to move slow so not to hurt it.fuel filters changed annually.and was just done.yes too all the upgrades.
Can figure out the low stall must be low on power and can’t push past 1500 rpm even at 5 lb boost.

After talking to Lonnie he says I broke the stator in the converter
New bullet non-lockup on the way
-
Are you already running a non lockup? The pump needs some different setup when going from lock up to nonlock up.
Also inspect that stator support while you have it apart to make Sure it is in good shape.
-
It was a lock,Lonnie built the trans said he would send me the parts and instructions. And if I had any problem just give him a call he could walk me through it.
Lonnie has always been the man and felt a non-lock would be my best choice. I just though I drive it on the street more than race it,turns out I’d rather race it.
Thanks for check the stator support reminder.Thats the the large spline part on the front of the trans,Right?
-
Yes. There is a splined input shaft and the stator support is the larger stationary splines around the input.
I've heard good stuff about mr diers but haven't done business with him. Might consider a deeper pan and 700r4 bottom feed filter if you aren't already running that. Or just the bottom feed filter. I managed to fit one in my stock pan.
