wow! gene's car put a hurting on the red one..... i was expecting more from the red one based on it's mods..... What are your thoughts on the fr500 valvetrain?? I don't know much about it.
The FR500 valvetrain is sold as a complete valvetrain package. It's actually not a bad deal. The cams have almost no lope sound, but they work very well in any application, from a ported eaton to a turbo car, which they have all provided great dyno numbers on.
They also seem to have the most streetability. I drove around with Screamn in his car and it drives like butter even from a dig. He also has ported heads which wasn't shown in the video. Mine was a PITA to acclerate from a dig.
The FR500 cams themselves are a bit different from the crower/comp offerings specifically in the lobe seperation. IIRC they have a LS of 109 while comp has 116 and crower 114. They have the same lift as comp (.475) and a bit lower duration and intake/exhaust.
