Default Took it to the 1/4

Took the car out with the Auto to Memphis 1/4 Mile, was hitting 1.65-1.70 60ft times. Consistant 11.52-11.56 at 117-118mph in the 1/4. It was popping the Glove Box open on launches..lol..

I would be very surprised if your car is heavier than mine. (3725 with me). I have a junkyard LQ9 with ported ls6 heads, a cam that is probably smaller than yours and a small 2800 converter. My car should not be a tenth quicker than yours unless you are at high elevation.

Post up your time ticket so we can check it out.

One thing I did notice is it lost power down low going to the Vic Jr, which is to be expected with a single plane.

When I got my "Custom" EPS Cam I was told that it should fix that.

I'm not really too impressed with the EPS Cam I got, it pulled harder with the Stock Intake.

And ofcourse when I send emails and call all I get is a response from the secretary sayin I'll get some rebuttle to my feedback.


What I was told I would gain vs. what I actually gained are two whole different things. I must've missed out on some bad *** tuning secret that EPS knows that I don't.

What are the specs on the old cam and the new one?

I would have guessed the tighter lobe center and more advance, but I am a bit surprised on the intake duration reduction unless you told him you wanted improved street drivability.

About the same trap speed as the stock intake, the old cam, and T56 in the car.

I drive it on the street but I said it can be aggressive, it's not a daily driver.

I guess I'll just drive it as-is and when I build the next Engine I'll get it Cammed by someone else. I've sent multiple polite emails to EPS and called a couple times, I guess I would've heard something by now.

Thanks. Everyone that hears it says that, I guess it's the mufflers.

Definately throws people for a loop when they hear the car. Lol..
