Default Re: V8 Crossfire Conversion Diary

Not much news today. The new and correct MAF sensor arrived today and I dropped it off at the shop. We had hoped that a Mercedes that uses the Bosch ME2.8 would come in today so that we can test my ECU in another car to just to be 100% sure we have an ECU problem. While the engine starts by turning the key to on and jumping the starter it doesn't start very easy. This is becuase the crank sensor and cam sensor have to sync. This is a learning process that the ECU should only have to learn once but the ECU is not learning and saving this which points again to a glitch in the ECU. I am sure I will having it running properly in the near future and have started to think about engine mods. I would like to do headers, cams and forced induction. I am wondering if I lose any hood clearance with a factory supercharger? I have no hood clearance left and almost no room left over between the engine and cooling fans.

I was reading about some cam specs in MBworld am considering n/a 55 cams or 55K or even SLR cams. the other option getting some ground by Elgin. The n/a 55 cams actuall have more lift but just a little less duration than the 55 Kompressor cams. If I go with a supercharger or turbo the SLR cams look like the hot ticket.
