At the risk of repeating myself - that sounds great with the Zoomies!

Sure glad you stopped by to give us a look at the finished product. Your roadster is unique in many respects. You must be thrilled with it.

Looks like you were able to race it in Hot Rod class. How quick is it?

 

[Old Stuff]

Wow. Right on.

 

[MercuryMac]

Thank you for showing us 'life after the build'.
So many guys don't bother with that.
Keep up the good work.

Although far from "finished", if it ever really will be. Now that the project runs amd moves under it's own power I can have fun with the little tinker projects in the name of experimenting and dialing in and tuning the combination of parts.

I wanted to see if I could get more of a "cammed" hot rod sound from the exhaust note if I increased valve overlap. In factory settings the cams are 110° intake centerline and 108° lobe seperation, I previously had them advanced for a 104° ICL & 108° LSA. Which maintained a stock overlap of 29° After crunching some numbers and comparing to commercially available performance cams I landed on a 100° ICL & 100° LSA going to 45° of overlap while increasing the dynamic compression from 7.42:1 up to 7.6:1 (@ 5500ft elevation).

Made a little video for the project:

I was expecting the idle to adopt a very mild lope, I wasn't expecting it to change the voicing of the engine entirely.

Next project will be to make version II of the zoomies,and with the wideband active again and exhaust leaks at the flanges sealed up I can begin to re-tune the VE table for the airflow differences with the cam timing changes.
