I would call up Patrick. Usually you want to rev new cams up to 2k rpm's on startup and hold that rpm for 15 to 20min. I would call up PTE for his recommendation b4 you start the car.

Hi Ahmad: The weather has been quite rainy , We lost the internet & power on this tiny island , But the Rum has not run out yet. Cheers ___PTEngineering

theeddie

guess i could just google the specs on the cam


i dont think i have ever paid more then $300 for a cam

rflow306

You can try.

ProjectC55

U aint tryin to buy these cams then! These cams aint for Ford Pinto's or AMC Gremlins!

The 2k-3k is just to ensure proper initial lubrication on a normal install. After the assembly lube I spun my engine by hand until the cam & bridge was full of oil, very easy with-out any plugs. If the car shares the same oiling system as the later model 55's it will not be a problem it gets good lubrication. The most important thing is that you properly clean the cams they are brand new and could still have metal inside them from when they were machined

Both the wis and the Klee instructions just tell you to get the engine up to operating temp at idle.

Ahmad,

BTW if the cams don't work please call Albert for a full refund...........it's his fault plus he's loaded.

I know he's a baller looking for a CL65 (preferably white) and a C63 as his DD (an attempt at relating to the common man).

rflow306

I knew I should have come forward when your check bounced for payment of the cams but being that you are so popular here, I did not want any pictures of me on a bench with reindeer's in the background posted on mbworld.

Rock

You are very wise grasshopper.

Cams are in and car is running! Thanks Rock!

Install... I dont know why but the cam tensioning bolt was REALLY hard to get back in but other than that the install was fairly straight forward. Thanks to Patrick for the instructions!

First impressions... The very first thing I noticed is that the idle isn't as lumpy as Jims car. I also noticed that I either have a slight misfire or the cams make the car shake like its misfiring. The next thing I noticed when I revved the car is that you can actually hear my supercharger now! Before I tried desperately to hear it but there was nothing. now at low rpms it is very clear that the car has forced induction but at high rpms the exhaust note takes over. I did a few WOT runs on the way home and the car feels faster but my butt dyno needs to be recalibrated so take it with a grain of salt. The real test will be tomorrow when I take it to the track and then the dyno. I may only get one pass in tomorrow night so I'm gonna try to make it count! It will be 30 or more degrees cooler than MIR was on monday

Awesome news!!! I think you hit it on the head though. The shake is what I feel. So hard to put it into words. Keep an eye on that misfire feel. Mine did have a plugwire go bad and Vadim had to swap it out.

Keep us updated

chiromikey

glad to hear she's running. looking forward to tomorrow and wishing you a record run!!!

blackbenzz

Changed the oil and took the car for a spin. Feels faster up top. We shall see tonight. The forecasters were wrong and it wont be high 50's/low 60's tonight. It will be low 80's/high 70's. Record setting will have to wait for the fall! Will still see what the cams do untuned. My guess? 11.4 @ 123mph

JAYCL600

Awesome bro, you should be walking me very soon....

theeddie

you can custom grind anything

blackbenzz

Which is exactly why they dont give out the specs.

Jason, I am farrrr from walking you. Maybe on nitrous

theeddie

guess i should of had you measure it

dont suppose it had a grind number on it

blackbenzz

I should have measured them, since they won't give me the specs to give my tuner to tune my car! They are schrick custom grind cams

theeddie

wow thats crap

KB122

It's the only job you can have and be wrong 90% of the time and never worry about getting fired, lol....try and get some vids of your beast, would love to hear and see it run! Good luck

vrus

Sorry Ahmad... MANY times on various cam threads I've spoken out and explained why I wont post any specs.

Since everyone is out there looking at and evaluating everyone elses products, why should I make public something that cost thousands of dollars to figure out? I hope you understand our position.

theeddie

can you atleast say, if it has more lift duratoin etc
is it split? would help in tuning


some people do like tuning his/her own cars kind of a hobby thing

ProjectC55

Ahmad if you're getting the car dyno-tuned,which I hope is the case, you don't need the cam specs.

You only need to be concerned with timing and A/F ratio.

blackbenzz

I'm sure you are aware that if I wanted to, I could take these cams to a shop and have them replicated. You keeping specs a secret isn't going to keep your cams from being replicated, just an FYI. I was up front and honest and told you why I wanted specs, so Kleemann can make a tune for me. I'm not in the business of selling cams


1/4 mile VERDICT:

Pre cams: 11.601 @ 120.25 with 1.701 60' in 90+ degree temps.
Post cams: 11.545 @ 119.80 with a 1.668 60' in low 80/high 70's temps

Sidenote... The car bounced off the rev limiter in second. Spun on the second run so I didnt post those numbers.

Conclusion... Cams gained no power and may have even lost power.

Dyno VERDICT:

Pre cams 405whp
Post cams: First pull was almost identical to pre cams 405whp. 2nd pull 414whp and third pull 415whp. The tach lead at the dyno was broken so no torque readings.

Conclusion: Cams made MAYBE 10whp

Overall I am disappointed in the numbers. I said I would post numbers whether I liked em or not and there you have it.

After seeing my car dyno, a guy with an M6 challenged me to a race. I gladly accepted. We went from a dig and I got him by 4 cars in less than a 1/4 mile. Then ran again from ~10mph roll and beat him again by ~4 cars.

chiromikey

maybe with a tune you'll see a few more hp...let's hope.

lol on the m6...poor guy can't figure out how he got spanked by an old 400rwhp clk!
