There is a few videos I ran this set up early 2013 through jan 2014. Was reasonably successful on the racetrack. New year new set up engine wise

[@jared4670]

Just epic

[@tightenloop]

nice vid but YR intake seems like killer intake in terms of air flow ... any waiz good luck! Cam sounds like ... awesome!

[@2liter8valveABA]

Love it man, sounds great. My next step is headwork/SRI/TT298* I have one video now with my current setup. Feel free to check it out.

[@vacuumnoise]

sick, any video pulls?

[@CalvinHollis1]

how did you sort out the timing when you put the cam in and did you put the cam in yourself...?

[@jamesapgar4916]

Yeah I do all my own work. Timing is the same as a normal cam just have to install it at top dead center. Make sure crank intermiadiate shaft and cam are all at tdc and your good.

[@CalvinHollis1]

ooo okay sweet thanks well I have done all that so far now its just a matter of putting all the stuff back together and see if it starts

[@charleswiley87]

Did you have to use a head spacer for it and get a longer timing chain?

[@syncrogt1]

@@charleswiley87 the engine is naturally aspirated and the crank to cam center distance didn't change so the timing belt did not need to be lengthened.

[@PsychobillyVW]

sounds good, had it on the dyno yet?

[@jamesapgar4916]

Ron Arnold no sir

[@siyabongazwane3703]

Looks like 1.8 valve cover

[@jamesapgar4916]

It’s a Black Forest industries 8v valve cover

[@jakobv8266]

What intake manifold is that?

[@jamesapgar4916]

this one was a home build unit. ported factory lower manifold

[@bobbyshreve4274]

where did you get a belt for aftermarket alt

[@jamesapgar4916]

Bobby Shreve it's a oem alternator just polished

[@bobbyshreve4274]

James Apgar damn I have a 350amp on mine and can't get a belt or anything trying to avoid having a custom bracket built

[@jamesapgar4916]

Bobby why are you running such high current alternator? Stereo or something

[@bobbyshreve4274]

James Apgar precisely I had a couple large amps and stuff in it for a ehile
