ouch... ive always worried about those cam gears, i wouldnt use one if i didnt have FI. (unless ur cams need to be dialed in somehow or w/e) probably important when ur making big power though, more so with nitrous.
i would look into somthing to coat the pistons with, theres alot of diy stuff for that... fing02.gif would help keep things cool and it strengthens the metal to

I've got the RSide adjustable cam sprocket.
Aren't you supposed to have the sprocket on the intake cam and the adjustable gear on the exhaust?
I guess either way would work though, and having it on the exhaust side makes for easier adjustments so..
Damn that is a big turbo! What are the specs? I like the top mount manifold.
How much boost were you running again?
Is that like flexpipe coming off the turbo compressor outlet?
Beta engines, gotta love the durability of that bottom end!

Is not a flexpipe, it's the oil return hose.
Whit the sprocket on the exhaust is easier to reach the bolts. I'm running 7 psi spring (213whp) because i'm doing a lot of testing with different parts like the intake and the tb and now with the cams, with more boost it would be difficult to calculate the gains.
Thats a t3/t4 turbo .50-.63 is the only turbo i've had and still running good. This is my second block compression has been lowered and this would be my third head.
2 screws and a welding to keep that thing in place...

It took me more that I expected but it's ready... I replaced the hole head with a spare one I had. the good thing of this one is that the exhaust isn't ported and the turbo sounds very different as before. New TB and I decided to run the 264 intake cam again. Just wanna go to the dyno and see how it performs... will see...

Thanks... now I'm dealing with the cams. Intake cam: duration 264 lift .340 and exhaust is stock. Whit this configuration i got a lot of overlap but the car runs good. I retarded the intake by 10 degrees but doesn't feel to much difference. Need to visit the dyno asap...
