Thumbs up Dyno Sheet -New Cam and DOD Delete

Work was done by Mike at Rapid Motorsports and has what he calls his "old man cam" - I'm really pleased with the results. I wanted a mild setup and the car is great with the stock stall converter.

Mike was great about working with my goals of a car that wouldn't blow itself up, he listened and made great recommendations. You can't tell that he had the motor apart; the work is meticulous.

Great power! That's with the stock heads?

I've been debating whether to do a cam or not. How does it drive with the stock gearing?

Yes, stock heads. The drivability is great - it does push at a stop because of the higher idle.

It doesn't sound much different at idle, but you can feel it shake a bit. It would take a good ear to pick-up on the cam.

I'm backing down the tune on the trans because it is hitting harder than needed on the shifts.

Dropping the hammer at 70mph will break the rear tires loose. 55 to 120 happens so fast it surprises you. Can't wait to get a 1/4 time on it.

Sounds great! I know my car feels totally different vs stock, so I can imagine another 70 rwhp must pull like a bastard

Let us know how it does at the track, I can't wait to get mine up there as well.

It is short for Displacement on Demand. A misguided fuel saver in our performance motors ;-).

Yes. I was one of the US Army soliders that liberated the Kuwait international airport from the Iraqi Republican Guard.

At the time, I was assigned to Task Force Freedom which was a multi-national group assigned the mission of liberating both the airport and port.

Thanks Mike - the boys are still talking about hearing your WS6 run ;-)

Thanks 2S2F, I served with a lot great people.

I have to give props to Rick at Livernois for redoing the TCM for me to soften it up with the new power.
