Here they are mounted up on the car, time to start another mod.
Think I made them too shiny with the gloss paint, its hard to get a good photo
without all the glare.

Who else has painted the Rail covers. I am interested but what I have read is the sucess rate is not that high. Paint peeling, bubbling, you know not good.

Looks very nice! Just throwing it out there but have you thought of painting the intake to match? Would there be issues if you painted the intake?

It can be done, just removing the intake and prep it well before painting.
I will paint the intake if I get a new FAST92 before installation.
I used a high temp header paint on the covers, after I cleaned them well
with soap, water and brush, then lightly sanded and then used scotchbright
on them to scruff them up so the paint will stick to something, and clean
with alcohol, painted numerous times, then put the decals on and then
repainted with Krylon clear laquer.

No problem, I have a old FAST75 with ECP ported TB and got good hp out of it, there is not much more
HP to get out of the car (20-25rwhp) other then stroking or a FI application for big HP.

Is your cam size limited by emissions testing??? That would also be another way to add more ponies but when it comes to ontario law I'm far from an expert!!

Yes, I could go with a large #5 cam but dont want to make the car too hard to drive, this is my daily driver in the summer
and drive it from mid March (weather dependant) to Nov.
I dont know if this cam would go thru or not, John@Westport said it was very clean and tuned well, so whatever that means.
You can also adjust the idle, fan temps and a few other things to help it through the tests, an Etune.

Yup, I am using the FAST75 right now, might change to the 92, what to drive it for a while and see how things go.
Like anything after a while it will seem slow again, then will decide on what to do if anything next.
I am just working on cosmetic mods right now this spring and summer, maybe some handling mods too?

Well while I can't verify through 1,000's of city driven km's yet the daily driver characteristics, I can verify that I did not experience any reason to believe the reviews I read of this cam being a surprisably driveable and friendly cam whilst I was driving it home. With your current heads set up and other mods I'd have to guess that you'd be in the 465 rwhp range with a Fast 90 and a step up to the stage 5 cam... Ok... Maybe 460.. Either way... It might keep you from boosting that sucker!! Lol.
I doubt very highly that you'd get that cam to pass an e-test though. Manny??

Big cams are always a pain for emission's . I have been experimanting with methanol injection on N/A motors as a way to lower emssions and pick up a few ponies
. A suprising effect has been the lower emission's readings we have been getting on the etest roller's .[email protected]

I know that is what I am scared of, or at least my wallet is afraid of taking another hit.
Oh well, only live once, might as well make the most of it, talk to you soon.
