Default Got the cam in!! =)

Took about 5 hours for the springs n all, held the valves up with a leak down tester kit...Replaced the balancer with an OEM piece. Mods in sig.... Vid is open long tubes and it runs like *** with the 42lb injectors. Getting tuned this coming week!

It was running horribly with the bigger injectors. So I put the stockers back in. MUCH better... Also put the exhaust back on.

Good work man. Car looks sweet cosmetically. Who is doing your tune? As far as the injectors, you were running crazy rich with the 42lbers. Do you plan on getting some numbers on the stock injectors before switching them out again? Post up your duty cycle either way.

Not even gonna bother with the stockers... I already know theyll be maxed. Force Fed Performance is doing my tune. They're a local speed shop that's been in business for 15 years and has been with LSX's since the beginning. So it should be a nice tune...

Next up is a LS7 clutch and aluminum flywheel.

Youll definetly be over 80% with stock injectors but itll still make the power. Im on a bone stock fuel system.

Im waiting impatiently for Geoff to ship my 234/246 cam for my mustang. I was told 1.5 weeks and its been almost a month.
