    Hi guys, I was looking at a kit from March performance, I was interested in the March Performance 21170 - March Performance Revolver-Style Track Serpentine Conversion Kits but it is selling for over 2000$ and I'm in Canada so that means even more expensive. Then I've found this one on summit...

    Engine performance problems

    yes you are right, The engine they are building me will be close to 400HP but this would be at the crank. If I'm getting anything close to 300 RWHP , I think I'll be happy with that. Also the torque this engine is supposely capable of creating is alot better than a 350 could give me. So both way...

    Engine performance problems

    The base line I gave you was without the heads, But I already had the cam shaft, intake, carb, headers, etc... so my baseline was 225 RWHP before i've swapped the heads. So the heads should've made a difference. I know I started with 195 HP but that was before the cam shaft, headers, carb...

    Engine performance problems

    I know it sounds extreme with that solution, but you know what. Since I've had the car, I've been dumping a bit of money every year to get that extra power. and It seems that everything I do is not helping at all. By now I should be closer to 400HP at the crank. But instead I'm going down. So...

    Engine performance problems

    I was thinking maybe I should go with the comp cam 270 since everyone said there was no problem with Vaccum. I don't want to go too big and then starting to have break booster problems and problems with light not being able to go up anymore.

    Engine performance problems

    Hi, thanks for the reply, you know what, I hope that you are wrong but I was affraid that it could be the cam, I've put this new cam 2 years ago but my local engine shop told me that unless you put motor oil that contains Zink in it. It could damage my performance cam. And to tell you the truth...

    Engine performance problems

    Forgot to mention, carb/intake vacuum if fine. tested ok Intake valve adjustment as been set. Should be ok. Is it possible that an old distributor would be responsible for a 40 HP @ rear wheels lost?

    I could've only used the push button alone, but I wanted to leave the Standard ignition key in place for theft prevention. Where I live, you don't want to take any chances.
