Check this out and give the op a PM. I'm sure he can give you the ballpark idea of what was done. BUt if you want to know everything I'm sure you are going to have pay for the work to be done at there shop. Thats quite a stout combo. I don't think I'd put out the info on just yet. Sell a few pkgs and make some money first. Good luck.

Your statement is your answer as to why not many people have responded. Try a search. Best of luck considering the search function on here isn't the greatest. Been frustrated by it myself a few times. Have a great day.

Send Mike over at Rapid Motorsports an email he will set you up with a cam that you are looking for his email is info@rapidmotorsports.com. I don't have his number but it should be on their website.

DMMizell on here is running one of their cams in his stock bottom end carbuerated 6.0 with L92 heads and is running 9.9x's N/A.

Search Vengeance LS3... We have MANY posts on Tech with details and results... We just finished an LS3 Friday that produced 471/449 to the tires with near stock drivability and no flycutting. A few weeks ago we finished a C6 LS3 that produced OVER 500rwhp /450RWTQ with our Stage IV LS3 cam and flycut pistons...

There is a whole lot more to running 9.50s than having a cam/nitrous kit... Stock shortblock is not going to last long at those power levels either.

Again, if we can help you out let me know. Best of luck on your combo.

Alot of guy's stay away from the L92's due to the thin deck height on them.
If you plan on spraying it, and going for 9.50's, you may want to think about a head with a thicker deck height, or have some head gaskets ready, you will be pushing water. The L92's are a good head, but just have a thin deck for boosted/nitrous app's.

Hey there Pinky. Looks like you are still having issues with finding what you are looking for.

On the spec me a cam thing, shops don't just do it for free. Most charge a nominal fee, and then apply that fee towards the purchase of a cam from them. Just throwing that out there.

Ron@Vengeance, don't you guys charge 20 bucks to spec a cam? I can't remember what I think I remember seeing on the website. I'm pretty sure it was 20 bucks. Is that put towards the purchase, or added to the purchase price?

Good luck Pinky, just trying to help. One last thing, you are going to need a stronger bottom end and block if you want to run the amount of power via nitrous you are going to need to even come close to 9's. JMO
