AMAZINGLY, no. I thought for sure I was in trouble, hood, grille, motor, but when his rig twisted, it landed only on my tire. FAWKING AMAZING. I just knew I had to freeze or else it would have been alot worse for Tyler. I was just worried about him coming down on my stinger, it was literally just inches from him. Somebody was watching over all of us... :indianajones:

comp cams extreme energy
part# c56014188 adv. dur. 282-288 lift .510-.520

if you have an automatic you may have to have a converter.
these cams will work with any compression ratio.

No, steering is hydraulics, orbitals, rams,etc, not camshafts :flipoff1:

Pay to play, pay to play son... molaugh

and it don't get any cheaper :****:

Can't wait for the new vroom vroom sounds.

kennyWayne · Oct 12, 2010

well got er busted off last night , sound GREAT :****: now i need a converter thought i could get by with out one . do they make a stall just for crawling or a regular street stall will work :dunno:

. hoping to get by with the least amount of stall i can mabe 2000 - 2600. any feed back?
cam calls for 3000 ithink that is to much.

CHASMAN9 · Oct 12, 2010

Call Kenny Ford at PTC and tell him what cam you have and what gear ratios and what you want it to do and he will build EXACTLY what you want without you killing any more ~~brane~~ brain cells. :dblthumb:

X2 on Kenny and PTC the can get you whatever you need.

kennyWayne · Oct 12, 2010

thanks guys . i got her out today and dont know if shes gona run on that propain,kinda dissapointed :'( i may have timing off dont know i was tired and didnt feel like fooling with it . that propane doesnt have much adjustments for air mixture. every one says you need high compression for the pain ., guess im gona go on and drop 3 g s for injection :-\ ;D

no need to spend 3 grand when you can call f.a.s.t and inject it for 1800.00

Give Kenny a ring at (256) 383-6868. He's up in Muscle Shoals so a quick ride up and you got yourself a convertor. He can even modify what you got as well. :dblthumb:

Steven, you know what kind of shitty power baker's 392w puts out on pane! :****: I don't know why anyone building a engine with the intent of it putting out good power would try using pane? Live that **** to cooking hamburgers/steaks and buy you some FI. The FAST TB system will support 600hp fir about 1800$ base kit 2100$ for everything or you can get the PP kit for about 1650$ everything that's good up to about 500hp but I haven't seen much about this system yet?

I have a BBC running on propane and it runs awesome. My motor is very high compresion motor. I also have built a buggy with a ZZ502 low compression 9.6:1 and it runs good. You have to run 2 kits with 2 baseplates to get them cfm needed. My thoughts are if your not gonna run high octane fuel like 114 then your not gonna gain any power on gas. My motor is 14:1 I have run both Accel Dfi fuel injection with 114oct and propane not much difference. My thought on a cam a good hydro roller will do the trick so you will still have good low end and vaccum if needed. Check out the Crane Z-Cam .610 lift, duration around .300 at .050, 2000-6000rpm no stall needed. I run on propane and have two buggies I would put up against the best fuel injected buggies in a drag race.
