I have been running a Luk RepSet clutch, PN L07042 for 2.5 years. I had it on a turned stock flywheel and now I have it on a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. It has a very nice feel and has held up well to many many autocross runs on sticky tires. It is impossible to beat for $78 on Rock Auto.

Try a needle scalar next time your are removing sound deadener. Worked well for me. If you have a laser level that broadcasts a level line, use that to shim as much level as possible before welding. You may find it's as good as it will get right now, but it's great piece of mind.

It is working great. See link below for the results I posted. https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/airflow-results-for-degreed-cams.1170978/

The actual cast surface is very tough. So if you strip the original coating, plan on some time to sand and smooth the casting before you paint. I stripped mine with aircraft paint stripper and did a lot of grinding, sanding, and smoothing. Then I sand blasted to give it a uniform texture and...

Here you go. I machined that mounting block. Inlet air to the IAC turns 90 degrees in the block. Then I simply drilled and tapped the intake. I used a 3/4 NPT bushing at the intake. I tapped the intake deep so the bushing threaded almost all the way. Then I cut off the extra threads so it was...

Not really. Just finished product pics. Cut it all off, weld it all up. Then I machined a mounting block for the IAC and mounted the block and IAC at the very back of the intake so it's out of sight.

The body of the IAC is made to leak. That cap on it is a vacuum vent. It is there to keep the IAC from getting stuck in a closed position under engine vacuum. The 03/04 Cobra IAC uses what I assume to be a stronger solenoid so that a vacuum vent isn't required. It uses the same port...

Here's mine. I smoothed the intake both externally and internally. The EGR and vacuum cast ports are completely ground smooth inside. Everything is TIG welded.

Airflow comes from the MAF. For the case of both the before and after I had a wideband on the car that was verifying the AFR coming out matched the AFR demanded. The injectors, fuel pressure, and wideband were all the same for before/after comparison. If AFR is correct, and all else is...

Yes, stock cams still. Just moved around.

I finally got some seat time with the new engine and I have the tune pretty well wrapped up. I pulled data from old data logs and compared to new. I have the cams at 109/115 Int/Exh. Before they were stock (stock 97 Cobra cams). Check out not only the difference in airflow but where peak...

That is the same sprocket set (S-793-9 MADE IN USA) that Trick Flow sells for half the money, which is the set I used. I believe it is manufacturer by Cloyes. Typical MMR price mark up and marketing fluff right there.

Well I figured it out. I hate publicly admitting this, but I like providing closure to threads because it may help somebody down the road. I built this motor and degreed cams and somehow lost track of bank to bank timing. Therefore, I had both banks in time with each other. Or another way to...

I did. No response.

So there's not a single person on this forum with degreed cams these days?
