Default MS4 cam installed

well guys since the front end was off the vette I figured now was the best time to cam it. Put a set of Kooks long tubes and catless x-pipe, 90mm ported fast intake and Ls2 tb. Has the stock titanium catback on it.

Honestly, it sounds like a 1936 farm tractor....

With those lift figures, you'll need to change valvesprings every year or it'll smack the piston eventually...

I'd LOVE to see a vid of this Z winning a street race someday... that would sound nice.

LOL,

I put in dual valve springs with chromemoly pushrods with the rest of the expensive stuff.

Thanks Man. Have a guy I know with a 03 Cobra with around 500rwhp and 508rwtq. He will be first on the hit list. Should not have a big problem with him. Soon as I get it back from the bodyshop it will be getting tuned. Running really rich right now, talk about burning your eyes.
