haha, your shifting at 7000 with the hotcam!

You need a large cam to take advantage of that setup. I would highly recommend a custom.

slow and da curious

If you really want to get the most out of the heads, a custom grind is the way to go. I got mine from Bret Bauer and absolutely love it. There are other guys who do them but I can only speak for the one I have. Just have all your specs ready and what you want to do with the car and he will definitely hook you up.

As far as contacting him, IDK. My engine guy did all that so I would have to ask him but a search might do it. Look for BRE cam or Bret Bauer.

He has been banned on this forum and the other big Camaro board, maybe says something????

If you want a cam to destroy valvetrain and float valves after just a few thousand miles of use he is your man.

On the cam, get it from whomever you had do the heads that way if there is a problem there is no back and forth blame, just one shop who will try and help you out.

I have to question the logic of a 2500 stall converter and wanting a 7000rpm cam. I would first suggest putting a real stall in there, a 9.5" Edge, Yank or Vigilante.

If hes still making power up to that point then why not? He didnt post the flow numbers of the heads, so he could be...And if he has the right parts but I dont know if this guy knows what he is even doing,,

But if he is not, then yes its pointless to spin it that high

Well then that does ssay somthing

lmao, I can assure you that he's not making power at 7000 with a hotcam.

slow and da curious

I realize that he's been banned from here. I also understand why he's been banned. All I was TRYING to do was give my advice on what HAS WORKED and IS STILL WORKING for me. Sorry that offends some of you but it still won't change my OPINION.

i spoke with dart and they also had suggested bauer and a company called cam motion anyone hear anything good about them?? also the car was a lt4 setup previously i threw the heads on and had it tuned I realize it would be making alot more at that rpm thats why i asked for a better cam. Also anyone running a 9.5 vig 3000 stall? and is it still streetable?

I agree 7000 RPM's is brutalizing you rotating assembly, You would not believe how many cars I have tuned that the customers "Thought" they were making power to 6800-7000 when it was all over with at 6200, If you want to spin the motor to 7000 ( which I dont know why) then go Solid Rolla.....

slow and da curious

Wonder if Dart knows he's been banned too?....lol.

If the car is gonna be a DD, just let YOUR CAM GUY KNOW. He'll tell you the cam range and optimum shift point. The best way to tell is of course a dyno tune.

God forbid I recommend one though

I've heard good things about Cam Motion also. Look around at some of the sigs on here and see what cams other guys are using also. Do a search on "custom cams" and that'll give you even more choices.

"You would not believe how many cars I have tuned that the customers "Thought" they were making power to 6800-7000 when it was all over with at 6200".............+1 on that.

Depending on the cam, of course, you probably end up shifting in the 6500 range which will definitely add life to your rotating assembly.

You spoke to the wrong people at Dart if they recommended Bauer, unless they meant Jack.

A 9.5" vig in a higher stall than 3000 is streetable, there are guys out there happily driving 3600 daily. I have a 3400 Edge and don't hesitate to drag around a fishing boat if the Caprice is the one with gas in it.

If you stay with a GOOD stall and 3000rpms I would not be suprised if it drives better than a 2500 stall 12".

slow and da curious

Your cam guy will recommend the appropriate valvetrain upgrades to fit the cam. Of course, if you stay with the stock valvetrain, you will have the above mentioned problems but that makes no sense.

JMHO

I spoke with bauers father today and he said that they were working on thier own version of the pro 1 casting so they had a pretty good idea on what 2 make for my setup I also had talked to Phil i belive at advanced induction he said they are hard at work on thier version of the pro 1 as well. I already know AI has a good reputation im sure i will get a great product from either company and I appreciate everyones input and reccomendations my question now is what did bret do to get banned from this website??
