Powerless And Waiting For Upgrades

A video showing KITT in his currently powerless state.




KITT's engine is being rebuilt, but it will be the original engine that is rebuilt and sent back. This was something that was important to me. As part of the rebuild it will be have an Edelbrock Performer-Plus Camshaft installed. Here is some information from Edelbrock about the new cam.

PERFORMER-PLUS CAMSHAFTS
Designed for optimum torque from the low-end to the mid-range, Performer-Plus camshafts match with Performer manifolds for vehicles operating from off-idle to 5500 rpm. They are smooth idling cams for daily drivers, trucks, vans, RVs and 4x4s. You can expect a major improvement in throttle response and torque. In the manifold section you'll find torque graphs showing the power gains from Performer manifolds and Performer-Plus cams. All camshafts include flat tappet lifters (except for cams designed for use with stock roller lifters), assembly lube and instructions.
