| Re: cheap power improvements to the 425... Rick,
No need to pull heads to do what I'm talkng about. I agree (from reading the MTS web site) that the MTS 5 and MTS 10 cams move your power peak up the curve - and may not give you much extra peak power without head mods, etc... However, I believe that the MTS 3 cam will move your power peak to LOWER RPM's than stock. That is the idea behind that cam - gobs of low RPM torque at the expense of some high RPM power. If you can confirm that your stock valvetrain (springs, etc) will work with that cam, then it seems a great idea. Give MTS a call and let us know what they say. As you seem to agree, who cares about high RPM power with such low rear gears? Torque off the line is what this is all about. I like your videos! Does the tach on the column hide anything important? Were you able to find a nice one-piece strap with rubber sleeve under it or is it still the radiator hose clamp trick these days? I may do that if I get a similar car. |
