Default Dons Custom 228/232 Cam Installed Vid Inside

Worked a cool 16 hours this weekend at least on the car. I would say I was pretty sucessful for working mostly alone.

Pulled the engine
Pulled grannys shitty cradle out
Bolted in Pezs great mounts
Put the engine back in
Bolted the intake fuel rails coilpacks, and headers back on.
cleaned up the wiring a bit
connected all the wires hoses and other connections
Bled the clutch and brakes
Connected back up the exhaust
Put the driveshaft back in
Filled everything with fluids
Flushed the coolant
Fixed a short

Started her up and man does it sound awsome with the new custom 228/232 XER LSA 112 cam. Don ran the same cam in his 3650lb camaro and ran 11.1 at 117 with the same setup except it also had untouched TSP stg 2.5 5.3L heads. At 850lbs lighter race weight my car should tickle 10s if I do my part right.

Vid (doesnt do it any justice, it plain sounds nasty in comparison to before and wierdly revs quicker even though I went with a heavier flywheel)

The car sounds drastically different when revving. Its just plain nasty now. I am surprised because this cam works its pretty tame. Lift is under .600


Also I bought a speed bleeder for my slave and bled my clutch in literally less than 5 minutes. Deff worth the investment. The Monster stage 3 from first impression I like it A LOT more than the old Textralia Oz700. Just the feel of the clutch seems better. The Oz700 was stiff but unlike a factory clutch it just stayed stiff and didnt really break away like more factory clutches do. This Monster "breaks away" if that makes any sense and has feel when it disengages. It also requires less pedal pressure than the Oz700. It still is yet to be seen where the engagement point is with the monster, If its decent I'll be happier than a pig in shit.

Yeah I gotta set up a time with Don in the next couple weeks

Cant wait to get back in the car and get done with the 500 mile break in period for the clutch.

Can you go wot during clutch break in? Not beat on the car or hit the shifts hard. Just soft slow shifts but once its in gear can I go WOT with it?

Also did suspension and brakes this winter so the car should be pretty intense, I hope it still hooks up with such stiff suspension.

Untuned they have a mean idle.Tuning smooths it out a bit.Going WOT on a new clutch is not good.Also not good going WOT on an untuned car either.
