Ive got my truck all torn down, gona put a H2 cam in on Tuesday or Wensday . Is there any thing else I sould do or look at while ive got it apart? Im gona have the radiator flushed, put in a new front crank seal, intercooler presure tested cuz I think it doesnt like anything over 40psi very much. Heres what ive got so far:

93 250 4x4, 5speed, Autometer Pyro & Boost, Old smokey fuelpin, pump turned a little, PS62, 4in exhaust, Custom Haisley edm's , Special gsk, ASA intake, silicone intercooler boots, valet switch, piston lift pump, 60lb valve springs, Western Mag 16.5x9 3/4 wheels, and 33x12.5x16.5 tires.

Only thing I can think of is to make sure the KDP is secure, and check the torque on the timing case bolts.

That is quite the signature! What kind of numbers have you laid down? How's that turbo spool? I need more air bad.

JAyers

The KDP has been taken care of. I havent laid down any numbers yet, im running the stock clutch . At my current fuel settings the turbo starts spooling around 1500rpms, and when she hits 10psi, HOLD on. Just when you get one, get one big enough, I can peg the pyro at 50psi. Im working on 500hp with the 12mm VE. Ill be puttin a clutch in around the end of october, not sure what yet though, i might go with a dd.

Sounds fun. Let us know how the cam affects EGT's, boost, power, etc. I don't know of a whole lot of guys with cams in 1st gens except Stomp, paccool, and maybe a few others.

How big are the EDM's and how much did they cost you? I want to know a little more about injectors before I get some, and I'm NOT going with PODs.

I hope you are planning to replace the tappets. Old tappets on a new can will chew up the lobes.

JAyers

Just got back from the test drive, wow what a difference. It idles a little lower, still hits the wastegate at 45psi, and the pyro doesnt peg quite as fast. It sounds completely different, maybe cleared up the smoke a little bit but not much. You may not believe me but the PS 62 with the 12cm housing starts spooling at 1300rpm, before it started spooling at 1500rpm. Its much more aggressive, and it pulls hard as high as the little VE can fuel. Now I just need a clutch.

mhuppertz

Cool man!
Can you give us a step by step on how the install went?

JAyers

Well I would but I dont have time with school and stuff. I have a connection with a dodge dealer in Maysville, ky and he let me borrow a FSM. The only problem I had that wasnt in there, is you have to cut the core support. I just drilled a few holes and bolted it back up. Another thing I noticed is that my cruze egt is at around 600 used to be at about 750-800 at 65mph, and as soon as I can get my foot out of the go pedal, Ill give you guys some mpg numbers.

Tell me more. Who sells this cam? Why did you chose this one over others? Do you think it has more power?

How about a link to the sight you bought the cam from!

JAyers

I bought the cam from Rip at cuz they had the best price. Also excellent service if I might add. The cam was made my DonM well just go to . There are many reasons why I chose this cam.

1 Not a regrind, so you can get higher lift and longer duration, starts from a blank.
2 Dont have to replace tappets. Cuz the cam is harder than the tappets so they wear to the cam. Instead of them eating the lobes.
3 Heard alot of good about them from people with 12v, 24v, and CR.
4 NO core charge.

I know it has more power. I dynoed last weekend and gained 37hp/81tq, in valet. I hit 40lbs it used to be only 35lbs of boost. The power came on 200rpm sooner and stayed much flatter, dynoed with the valet off and the stock clutch limits my numbers.

Stomp

Sounds like you have a very fun combination. So get a clutch in there so we can see where you are at.

Just to set the record straight I am still running a stock cam. I have thought about changeing it in the past, but I allways get side tracked.
