Default Thanks to Ellis and Jim Bob


Thanks for putting that cam into my car. It is a bit milder than I expected as you can see from the picts I took this afternoon.

By the way these picts were n/a, no nitrous and no one was on the road when I may (or may not) have made these marks. I like the one on the front of my house because you can see it get rubber in first and in second. I had to let off before I could see what third or fourth would do. On the way up the hill it squirled out on me and I have bad memories about that corner so I stopped before I got out of hand.

Glad you like it! I have installed Five of those kits now and have yet to get an Un-satisfied customer. the cam makes the same power as most cams in the 22x/22x range Yet passes emissions and is a joy to drive.

Have fun with it man!

Now that I have a new job with better time to play and more mods maybe we could schedule a dyno day. I just hate to take it to a shop all by myself and make a pull or two.

aja342 has a thread here where he's trying to get a dyno day together.

Also, Ellis tried to sell me on that cam last time he played with my car. I've been looking at it very seriously. I didn't realize they were only $400! That makes it better bang for the buck than the LT headers I've also been looking at.

You should go with headers BEFORE you go with a cam. Your car will run MUCH better that way and it'll be MUCH easier to tune!

I learned that the hard way!

I got a head and cam setup shortly after I bought my car and had it installed by someone.

Then I had it towed to this tuner (texas spped and performance) down in texas. When I showed up they were confused as to why I went the route I did. If fact I kinda remember them making fun of me.

Either way..........it took them over 3 hours to tune my car.
