Are there upgrades to the motor now? Insane #s for a stock unopened motor - congratulations!!!

Cams amd torque converter revision. I believe this is on the 3.15 gears still

Ok, now a opened motor (bummer). Probably a few things done.

I wouldnt really think cams and a stock long block is a big deal.

And hear that? *crickets from the but cams arent worth it crowd*

We added a set of the Comp Cams and had Bret Barber work the heads for us. Throw in some fresh clutches from McLeod and this thing was an animal in it's first outing!!! Ran [email protected] with a DA of +390ft. Even a 10.01 first pass off the trailer on the footbrake!

Ported heads and +1mm valves from Bret?

Safe to assume ported CJ and ported heads from AFS?

Thats a killer setup. I want a rowdy NA car again. I miss my CJ e85 3.55 gear 16 so bad!

gen3 + would be even more fun!

Love watching this car progress.

Do you mind sharing which comp cams you went with? Part number?

And did you get a spring upgrade as well?

Thanks,

We went with the Comp Cams that Hot Rod tested, gave them the part number right from the article. The springs were upgraded by Bret ahead of time as we planned to go with the cams prior to Mod Nationals. Just wish we could have tested them, on the track, separate but we ran out of time.

Great! Thanks for sharing, it's very helpful.

The thing sounds awesome for sure.

What front springs would you suggest for a similar N/A car build but with a bit heavier? I'm not pulling a ton of weight out and thinking the car will be around 3700 with driver. Would you stick with the 125 front or go 150?

Thanks,

Let me ask our drag team.

Stand by!
