I never thought I'd do this.. I did it.... Well.. It's friggin happened..
I have been running my heads/cam for about 2 months now and am finally getting it to the dyno tomorrow and I am ALREADY thinking about bumping it up a notch...
It's a vicious circle I tell you..
I need more power!
I guess I shoulda gone with a bigger cam..
I've got the following:
TR224 112
TSP 2.5 5.3's
LS6 Intake and all the bolt ons that go with a typical heads/cam car..
What should I do next?
Bigger cam or pick up the new Weiand intake?
I wish I could afford a small blower - I just can't...

It's never enough. Next you'll want wheel stands Do you have any suspension or chasis mods? All that horse power is useless if you cant transfer it to the ground. Gears will make a huge difference. My 94 Z has 3.73s with a T56 and it can maintain a burnout out well into 3rd with 275s on the rear. It probably puts down less than 340rwhp too. Get a 3200 stall, some Drs, and 3.73 gears and you will be ALOT happier

I feel your pain, it never ends. People ask me whats the point, why dont you drive a honda? After they have taken a ride in the F-body, they never ask that question again, they just smile. So get a bigger cam, put a shot on it, whatever keeps that a sheepish grin on your face. Lifes to short.

yeah, don't we all, when i had my car dynoed i was dissappointe, i could have bought a smaller cam and made a couple less hp but better tq. Yeah well, you live and learn. And the less you know the more mistakes you're gonna make, mine was big cam and stock heads.

flag on this one..it aint happening on this planet..maybe on phantasy phuchin island but not on earth ... the power to weight ratio is way too lop sided in favor of the bike for that to happen.....guess what ... the guy on the bike was not racing you..
