Default Re: FWD Mopar Stocker

FWIW... While I never played with any Turbo combinations, one of the Daytona guys had told me that he had problems with inconsistency... and then he took the "stocker" cam out and put the bone stock cam profile back in the car and he said it started repeating, deadly! He surmised that the long duration/overlap may have been sending a bad 'signal' to the turbo.

I have a DF/S '85 Turismo 2.2L (low compression combo, 2bbl carb) that I just got back out last fall after it sat dormant for years on the "reconstruction" list. Currently heavy for DF/S, and only runs a few tenths under, but ran -1.04 under the IHRA FF/SA index in testing, also heavy for the class. I'm usually racing my Volare, so the Turismo is for sale, but in the meantime, I may do some more tinkering with it. Tons of fun to drive, and it's actually a competitive car in its current state! (consistent, & I found a spot on the tree)

Good luck with your project!
