Yea', i'm lookin' for some "cam lope" at idle. =-)

That type of cam will give me less torque at low RPM and will bring it in the higher RPM range. Hey, I ride a 500cc 2 stroke dirt bike.... LOL =-) I'm used to that type of power band.

Roger:

I know it has been mentioned about the "height" of your intake set-up.
You might want ot consider another set-up (using the Holley) that will
allow you to be a couple inches lower. Also do you really need the two
adapter flanges which increase the overall height.

The idea of fabricating and running another type of air filter (possible side
mounted like a K&N late model Camaro) is a possiblity. But from very recent
experience with my V8 project car going together as I write this I would
say there is very, very little clearence on MOST 914 V8's and yours may not
even have enought for a air inlet to the top of the carb!

BTW I personally am planning phase 2 of my project whereby I will be converting
the V8 to late model (1995) Corevete Fuel Injection system and custom FI
controller (fully programable) for which I have already concluded "a Side Mounted"
air filter system will be needed and custom fabricated using some GM Fuel injection
components.

Another option IF you want or need too, would be to install an older style
Hot Rod air scoop on the engine hood/cover and facing towards the rear
of the teener. It would work but may not be your personal taste from appearance
stamdpoint. Just my $ 0.02 worth

The engine looks great and enjoy the journey.

The cam I chose has a power band of 2000 - 4500 rpm and provides a good idle. Advancing the cam timing makes a very noticeable difference in the low end torque and makes it much more fun to drive. You might want to consider trying this since the cam you chose will want the rpm's kept up but it might not have that 'seat of the pants' torque that makes the V8 such a fun ride.

Roger,

What Alt did you get? I plan to buy new to replace my 20 yr old but there are so many choices in Summit. I'm thinking a 100 amp coated one. Beware the Renegade alt bracket doesn't fit all alt fans. Scott said to clearance the bracket or trim the alt fan. I'm told by another local builder that the bracket itself may need to be machined.

Recommend a Melling oil pump drive shaft and not use the plastic coupling.
