Wow, Apparantly I wasted my $$ and the Auto factory lie's alot . . .

My compression ratio is 9.3 to 1 the tbichips guy knew.


We'll apparantly the root of my problems was a bad TPS sensor, made a huge difference . . . . until the next problem was exposed that my tranny is slipping pretty bad. Tried to drive back to Raleigh, I made it, but when I finnaly got here a damn 10 foot radius around my truck smelled like french fries that were cooked in tranny fliud and then thrown on the grill until they burned.


The best part is that I just spent the last of what I had fixing my damn motor :handed:
 
OMG

Let's see the chart...

That cam sounds pretty small.. even the stock cam on my 5.3 is 0.466" / 0.457" int/exh lift.. in fact, I can't find anything that small in the comp cams catalog. What is the part number, or at least the full specs? (duration at .050", LSA, etc)

Bigger tires sap HP on the dyno, as do high # gears.
Didn't you say your transmission is acting up?

Hell, my all bolt-on small block (stock cam, stock heads) in my f-body made just over 350 to the wheels, and that's with 4.10's, but small tires.

By the way, your 1995 TBI 350 was rated at 200hp and 310lb-ft.. AT THE FLYWHEEL. you're probably looking at 35% driveline loss (or more) with your tires and gears, so a 300hp (flywheel HP) engine could very well put down those numbers. A 1998 (which came standard with those heads, and doesn't have shitty TBI) is rated at 250. If you've got the specs right, that cam is basically stock.

Who put the engine together?

Are you just wanting to vent/whine? or are you actually looking for help? If you just want to vent, then I'm sorry your new engine brings teh suck.

+1, omg people really, yall need to stop reading superchevy, and ford highperformance, and learn something real sometime, ive built a few small block engines, ford and chevy, and have seen over 490hp and 480ftlbs of torque out of them with the right cam/head/rotatingassembly/and fuel delivery method. And the same engine in a lifted fullsize bronco what putting about 340HP to the ground? Duh loss of 25-30% maybe more on a lifted vehicle or even long wheel base vehicle. same engine 2 years later in a 95 mustang putting right @ 400BHP, to the ground threw a Richmond t-56 tranny. So dont go and build something until you know what you already have, and remeber, torque is the key to heavy, tall, long, trucks with massive amounts of movement in the suspension, and come on dont build a small block without going over .500" at the minimum on the lift for atleast the exhaust valve, cams ive seen in torquer motors usually have around .528 intake,and usually more exhaust, or you can get a single grind, like a .509/.509 with less duration and have a stump puller with broad torque curve, but hp wont peak until atleast 4900-5500 rpm or more depending on intake choice and fuel delivery method, .444 lift??? Let it breathe man
