Thanks everyone. I got to drive it for the first time today. Of the entire build, on thing stands out above everything else, for good or bad. BIG intake cam. My idle quality is very lopey, and I mean as bad as my Datsun was with a 240 @ .050" cam. I double checked my timing and it is dead on factory using the tool. Now the good: 4,500 rpm comes along and oh boy the throb from the intake is near (dare I say) v-tec glorious. The combination of compression ratio and larger displacement has kept the low-end in tact, although it's not as strong at 2k as my late cam old eng. By 3k its pulling harder and just gets better from there. Might need to gopro under the hood to share the sound. Its fantastic! I suppose I might be willing to give up some driveablilty if I can improve the idle quality just a bit, but since I thinka MAF is very sensitive to intake pulses, I doubt I will be able to. I do plan to set cams using cat cams data and maybe that will help a bit.
plans are dd only, its my main form of transportation. Itb's just arent in the budget. I wonder if there is much improvement over an e30manifold. I have an e36 mani to compare once I iron out some more bugs and get it broken in.
