YEP!!! I had to think about the same thing when I put in my new cam. (I have the Rollmaster too) Things won't allign dot to dot anymore if you advance the cam. You have to mark the crank sprocket where the dot ligns up on the cam sprocket if you have advanced it.

Good deal! Being off two teeth obviously really messes airflow up. I'm glad you didn't hit valves on the pistons

Just got the message from Allan. It's done. Not the numbers I was hoping for
unfortunatly. 431hp/409tq at 6-7 pounds of boost. He thinks the cam may be a little to big for a blower set up. I know I can pick up around 10more hp if I put the electric fans back on. I would get a smaller pulley and up the boost but I allready have the smallest one Whipple offers. May look into a custom pulley.
This was through cats, with fan clutch and 4.10 gears. So all in all, not really
too bad.

Anyone done that yet? I wonder if everything would line up correctly and you can just swap the brackets and such over?? I doubt it It's a shame I lost so much torque compared to the stock engine. The one thing I need to get this heavy pig moving and it comes out lower Oh well, back to the drawing board. Any suggestions on what I need are appreciated. My end goal with this thing is to hit 500hp and 500tq

that sucks that you LOST power. If that's the smallest pulley, why are you only seening 6-7lbs of boost?

I lost some boost because of the cam. Was making 10psi with the stock cam. Looks like this cam caused the boost number to drop 3-4 psi. Even if I could pulley down and make more boost I dont think that will bring back the 59tq I lost. Might over spin the blower then. Can someone calculate how fast the blowe is spinning now??? I'm running a 3.5 inch pulley on it.
