my 4.3 cam/intake/head build

[draginlow]

Well I have not updated this in a long time. Well I have had a few problems but rite now she is running good. Right after Christmas we are going to tune it onthe dyno. It just has a safe tune in it now. Still running alittle rich. But here is the finished exhaust. First the tail pipe then the Elc cut

[Fannatick]

Nice build, truck looks awesome.

Still no new dyno numbers??

Keep up the good work. *Subscribed*

[draginlow]

no dyno run yet. i hope soon, the race season is starting soon and my buddy is swamped, i need to do it soon before he at gone every weekend. we did some data logging the other weekend and he was going to work on the files so we will have most of the work done when we run it.

[Mikz86TA]

Sounds mean! I had a Super40 but the inside resonance I got tired of. Got a MaxFlow Hooker now. Im not sure I like it tht much.

[Mikz86TA]

Oh and ur running a cat.
I got those same headers, no cat and the Hooker.
Im sure the cam makes a big sound difference too. So did the heads have to be machined at the guides for the lift on the 270 cam?
What did he do to the tune to get the idle smooth and whats the AFR?

[draginlow]

yea i have to have a cat here because we have to meet emissions inspections, it's tuned out but is there lol. and you dont have the machine the head at all to run this cam i have, you can run the comp-cams push tubes: 7808-12, comp-cams 787 retainers, comp-cams locks: dont rember the part number but they are 7 degs, and ls6 springs. you dont even have to pull the heads but i did so they could be worked, and different valves were installed, and i dont know on the tune, my buddy builds ls motors for a corvette racing and other other large race groups so he knows his shit, in that video it was just a safe tune so i could work all the bugs out. right now i am driveing at about 14.3 afr and WOT at about 12.5 afr but he was playing it safe till we dyno it, i have been staying out the throttle because it's running so rich. he did a little playing around on it the other day when we were doing data logging on the street and now my idle is at 575 and it sounds mean lol

[Mikz86TA]

U got stock valve sizes or larger?
Thats a low idle. Sounds good tho..I love that slight lope

[project blazer]

Sounds good man I can't wait to get my 4.3 built
But I'm boring mine 30 over and carbing it with vortec heads

[draginlow]

i have stock size valves, in that video it was at high idle, now it sounds like it's about to stall out lol and project blazer when i pull the motor to tackle the lower end for boost it will be punched out, this go around i was just getting the top end were i wanted it.

[project blazer]

Yeah. I'm totally doing mine already got it tore apart and waiting to take it to the machine shop I'm waiting on heads so I can send them at the same time

I got my pistons on the way

They are kieth black flat tops for 116 bucks shipped from summit! And they are hypertuanics with valve relief's

Blazer sounds good man what type of power do you think your maken now?

[nfamus10]

cool.

[project blazer]

Yeah I hope it sounds good lol
Can't wait to build this thing

[draginlow]

no idea yet until i can get it back on the dyno, the seat of the pants feel is better but i can t wait to see some numbers.

[draginlow]

well i have most of the small problems taken care of and have 4k on the engine now and i hope get it the rest of the way tuned soon, we did a little driving around town tuning because the dyno has been tied up with there race cars. got the idle down more and little better air-fuel mix, still alittle rich on the top end but i drove to layed out at the part this weekend and it was a 580 mile trip with no problems, i got 23.6 mpg and that was a lot of mountain driving. and i have a heavy foot lol.

here is a quick video if the idle.


got a little pin striping done too



then had a little problem and now have no roll pan

[bdubii]

You ended up getting 23.6mpgs? That's crap. I only get 22 with my mostly stock 4 banger.

[Mikz86TA]

sounds good!

Yep and after tuning should be better so it's not running so rich. And is your 4banger a auto? My dad has a 2.2 5 speed and gets close to 28 all stock

[bdubii]

Yea my taco is an auto. I think I would be doing better if I didn't have the 22's on it.

[bjballar4189]

[bdubii]

My bad, I met a lot of people this weekend forgot some names haha. Yea I used to own that blazer a couple years ago. It was in pretty bad shape. I did what I could with it when I had it but it still needed a lot of work to be safe on the road.

[rce10]
