When I ran stock SC cams, 112(113?) lobe center, ~1.65mm timing , and even a mild DC-20/21 grind, 112 lobe center, 2.45mm timing, the engine made enough vacuum, around 15-18”. Which was ok.

I did tee the carb vacuum manifold to the pump, with a one way check valve to prevent the pump from pulling a vacuum on the engine. Basically a dual sourced system

I’m running the DC40 cam, small ports, 3.0, highly modified Zenith TIN carburetor. Excellent combination as Henry points out.

The DC40 is a great match for carbs. Carbs really like overlap.

Cut away the central portion as needed

What I mean by that is the original designs are tough to work with. Larger openings make it easier to get to the emulsion tubes on zenith’s.

We’ve all heard cautionary tales, and then still did what we want. You are on a path to figuring which boat to get, not if your getting a boat. 😁.

Agreed

Drove it in December. 15w-50 M1

Dead battery in January stopped me.

Now is the opportunity to rebuild rear calipers.

+1

This works really well. Coat both sides of the gasket.

I do this on all paper engine/transmission gaskets.

The new format is horrible.

Everything I thought was great in the original site has been stripped away.

Especially on an iPhone.

How much longer before they destroy the forum?

The axle is not part of the bearing.

Undo the castle nut and hit the end of the axle with a rubber mallet. It will pop out.

I just did this Monday.

The only thing holding it in is rust. ...

Brake fade induced reduction of the capability to maximize available traction is the problem.

Front traction goes up with weight transfer.

Rear traction goes way down.

Weight transfer, in a 911 is normal. It isn’t something we can easily change.

And under heavy braking I’m guessing the static 40/60 weight bias may approach 50/50. With a 225/50 front and 245/45...

It means you have more load, which means more adhesive traction. Up to the point of rubber overload and transition from static (adhesion) to dynamic (sliding, melting, shearing).

Just a thought: R compound tires generate far more traction than a1980 P7.

If you really use that traction during braking, then you will brake later.

Later normally means a little faster as...

It was stressful and I had to do four top ends before it was done. 100% related to nikasil plated cylinders.

For me, all six intakes are connected to a common manifold. And that reads 9-10” vacuum. So there is no way my booster will work properly with idle manifold vacuum.
