Cordes Performance Racing

Pete brought us his Z with a setup already installed, it broke a lifter that we determined was caused by the pushrod length being extremely far off.

His setup was as follows when it came.
TSP short block 427 still with flat top pistons with -3cc reliefs.
TSP ported stock heads milled 50
Huge cam 255/263 .660/.660 110 lsa with stock rockers, all the guides were destroyed in 4k miles from that much lift on stock rocers
kooks 1 7/8
fast 102/102
halltech intake (maf forward)
13:5:1 compression
e85
614/542
run conditions were 75 degrees


New setup.
guides replaced in the heads and fixed.
cpr alpha cam lift is way less so guides won't get beat up and cam is smaller overall
arh 2'' longtubes
msd manifold (out of the box)
624/548
run conditions were 119
oh and proper pushrod length!

He now has a setup that not only makes more power in worse conditions, but drives much smoother, won't grenade the guides, and has a much flatter power band. If we could change everything we would swap out the heads for a set of wcch and port the msd but i think this thing is doing pretty well
