Cool, so you use the lockouts and these covers to take the solenoid out of the equation, correct.

welp im over here still with stock heads and 17 soon to be 21 psi lol

Stock valve springs?

Stock valve springs?

yep. a lot of what ive read on here said you dont need to do anything to your heads for awhile

Im building a stock crank/stock compression motor, lock outs and decided to go with high load springs. Not sure what boost will be but Im thinking about 16-18# through a 76mm ball bearing turbo on e85. The high load may be overkill but better safe than sorry.

What springs did you go with?

Comp Hi Load Springs and steel retainers

that's what I'm going with as well...how are they working out for you?

 

[VistaBlueS197]

Motor and heads are still with builder, ill
Hopefully have it back within the next couple weeks.

With lock outs will it take the lopey idle away at idle? Would limiters be a better option? Or is the general con census lock out, delete and jet the nitrous up or boost it up.

Idle lope comes from a combination of cam duration and lobe separation angle.
It's a good idea to keep the stock VCT system unless you get high lift cams (.490+) that require locking out/limiting phasers because otherwise you give up horsepower or mid range torque.

I though VCT would play a little role or you wouldn't be able to "ghost tune" a lopey idle. I understand that locking/limiting the phasers isn't needed until a. The phasers get noisy b. You have a higher lift cam or c. Stiffer valve springs. The 20 hp you loose is easily overcome by jetting the nitrous pill. My question is locking the phaser a better option than limiting it in the above a,b,c scenarios? And is everyone locking them at full advance or full retard?

Ghost tune is in the coyote not 3v world

Full advance is 0 degrees. Full retard is -60 degrees. There is only one option.

ROGER that. Thanks for the response.
