ok cool. i actually am able to take good photos of the charts with my new camcorder. i found one pre mod run - A/F was 11.8.
350 hp in 3rd gear, with snow tires. prob another 10 hp in 4th?
anxiously await results of your project!
couple of questions.
will stock fuel management support an additional 40hp at upper rpms?
where can i get REV valves? are these oversized? are more shrick cams available from your source?

It's unknown at this point what will happen. I'm willing to bet that the fuel system on the car can support whatever we throw at it. There have been others that have gotten over 400 Whp with no mention of fuel system mods.
You can get the REV valves from http://www.revvalves.com I'm not sure about sizes or fitment, but I think 1FastC32 might. There was also a pic I posted before with a quote on parts needed to add the cams. If you look closely, I believe it has the sizes needed.....but I would double check with MB.
Yes, there are more Schrick cams available. As far as I know, jgsx, 1fastc32, and myself have ordered them. I believe they are a custom grind done by Schrick and will take a week or so to ship, so please place your order as soon as possible. There is no markup in the price from anyone here, and I would be willing to bet that the price we were quoted will not last.

yeah the snows were deforming like crazy. you could almost smell rubber as they were transmitting 350+ hp to the dynojet. based on the diameters of the "baseline" PS2 in 265/30-19 and the post mod 225/45-17 snows something is off. there should not be a 5mph diff in speed.
hopefully you're right re fuel supply. certainly makes things simpler (and cheaper).
so- looks like you guys (and maybe myself) are on the way to creating the C32 BLACK.

I can't remember if I asked this or not, but are you doing the removal / install yourself?

yes, i am doing the install myself, with the help of a friend that is a AMG Tech...
i am going to do everything that you have listed above and then lifters as well...but i will probably wait to get everything apart and see what really needs to be replaced unless there is something that i can not get in a timely manner....

Good luck...you think these cams will be drop ins? I know the first ones we ordered were, but I'm not so sure about these. You should see the "please do" instruction type booklet that came with them. Most of it is normal though.

"Is the cam follower contact surface large enough (tappet diameter, rocker arm length) to handle the loads produced by the additional cam lift and duration?"
"What is the maximum valve lift before the valve spring is at block length?"
There are many more questions in the install guide that I don't have the answer to. I will give this to MB and let them figure it out.

These are drop-ins, I just don't remember providing this type of documentation for my Supra when I had cams put in.
