Jolly I paid 230, with all adapters and cartridges and keys. Seems to be about the going rate of them currently.
I got it in the mail today. Plugged it in and after I figured out how to work it I set the sync. It was at -17! Yikes!!!! But I had messed with a little bit the back probe voltage sensor method. Shows you how accurate that is, I think the way I listed in the OP is the best way. Set it at 3-4. Apparently the mt2500 is not as super exact as say, a new modis or whatever. But it's plenty good. Reset the pcm at took off. It fired right up. Runs like a bat of hell now! You can really feel the cam kick in above 2200ish. Then it pulls pretty hard till the kegger runs out of air in the 4ks. I imagine you would lose some torque with this cam and no other mods such as M1 or headers, but I have 4.10s so it is not Terribly noticeable for me. |
Sure, the Modis is more accurate, faster data sample rate as well, but, 10 times the cost too.... :D The MT2500 will do everything you need it to, and then some. Enjoy it. :D

Ain't that the truth.... It should read generic obd2 on most any obd2 vehicle regardless of year so yay! |
Got like 6k miles on this swap. Still running well. Knock on wood

the goodies that its getting havent been ordered yet, due to the lack of funds. spintech long tubes, and y pipe, along with a 52mm tb from somewhere. also going to get some bling, hipotek fuel rails. motor will eventually get either a remote mount, or a procharger, but thats a few years down the road. |
Put over 10k on the engine since I did all this. Never did get a tune or good intake. But it still runs like a top.
blow by is starting to get bad though. I haven't done a compression test. I expected this to happen after popping good sealing heads on a high mileage short block. But it has got me through my last year of college. love this old truck. |
So what are your plans? You going to rebuild your short block?
|
I got about 307k on my original short block (maybe. It's second hand, so...). I can't say enough good things about the EQ heads. Everything was located properly and nothing needed to be clearanced or massaged, as with some aftermarket stuff. Great parts.
I stuffed them with factory spec valves and springs, since I was running the stock cam still. Comp roller chain and a new timing cover since the balancer had separated and eaten into the timing cover. Truck runs great. I added the mist style injectors as a slight upgrade since the OEM parts were getting clogged and gross. |
