Engine Tech / Re: Opinions on a new cam.....
Update, sold the N41 and kept the Ed Curtis cam. I swapped the Trick Flow R intake for a Track Heat, that made a huge difference in low end power. I'm happy with that. I do need to pull the upper intake this weekend and adjust the rockers, but that's no big deal.

Now to find someone who needs to buy a Trick Flow R intake.

The R makes it feel a bit sluggish down low. once you get way up in the rpms, pull hard, it's made for more of a racing application I believe. The Track Heat rpm range starts 1000 rpms lower. Much better than the R.

At least you are working on the old Bird. I'm waiting til Spring to get back to wrenching.

Engine Tech / Opinions on a new cam.....
OK....the story.....

I have a custom Ed Curtis cam. Made for my car. Since the cam was installed a few years ago, I changed the following....

3.55 to 3.73 gears
Shorty headers to long tubes
GT40 intake to Trick Flow R
70mm tbody to a 75

My thoughts are the cam isn't as optimal as it was because it was made for a certain combo.

I have a new Anderson N41 cam on my work bench, has anyone ever had an experience with them?

Also, do you think a Trick Flow R intake is actually more for racing and I'd be better off with a Track Heat or Street Heat style intake/

I remember hours and hours of labor for tiny little jobs that in the end, I could've swapped an engine faster.

Glad to hear you are ok. I rubbed a new wheel on the curb yesterday, still bothering me. Gotta order a new wheel this weekend. Little things like that bug me til it's fixed.

I swapped in the tripminder years ago. Looking back on it, I don't know why. I only use it for time. I guess it seemed like the thing to do at the time.

That's a great looking car. I want another Bird.
