cam degreeing
82expghost:
24+ pounds of boost, roller cam, front mount, brown tops, 88 tbird ecu, ported polished, dual valve springs, looking for 8500 rpms, so my question is, what would be a good degree for the cam for alittle more power, advance or retard? oh and 110 race gas

Reaching for the stars are we?
With 24# boost and 8500 rpm you are in pro race territory, you need to be setting the cam on a dyno run jack. No one number is going to fit you, you need to run it and change it a few times. You better be running different injectors and a tune on the PCM as well.

roller cam as in ranger, i was just wanting 300, stinger performance says that should be doable on the stock 88 tbird stuff, also , what should my base fuel pressure be? the reason for the over kill is that im planning on being very rough on the car
amc49:
Not on this planet or any other will a Ranger stock roller flow enough to turn 8500 and make good power.
Wittsend:
AMC 49 is correct.
I have "Stock 88 T-Bird Stuff" with a Ranger Roller and factory boost. Everything pretty much runs out of wind between 4,500 RPM - 5,000 RPM. The "fun" of my Turbo Pinto is to drive away like a normal Pinto, shift and gradually press down on the accelerator. Where as a stock Pinto will have glacial acceleration - the Turbo Pinto is more like an avalanche. It exponentiation gathers speed, but like the avalanche it is quickly over.
