Default So I bought my cam today!!

Sup guys, I finally decided on my cam today. I bought a Thunder Thunder Racing TRex cam lol, I bought pacesetter headers, 4.10 gears, LS7 Clutch kit, Patriot extreme dual valve springs, comp cams 7.400 pushrods, gm cam swap gaskets, few other supporting mods to make life easier. I cant WAIT! No the car is not a daily driver lol.

Yes it was, apparently my Trans Am has been talked about in the O5 chain. Not very good, I know that Sergeant Major is definately going to run his mouth when he hears my cammed TA lol.

Get an electric cutout so you can set off car alarms when you idle around the parking lot at work. That ought to get their blood pumping. T-REXs hate car alarms!
