G8 GT Cam Swap Complete
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I finished up my Livernois Stage 1 Cam swap and I have to say I couldn't be happier.
Previous mods:
Vararam Cold Air
ARH 1-7/8" Long Tube Headers w/catted X-pipe
Solo Performance Axle-Back
Underdrive Pulley
Nitrous Tune
Mickey Thomson 295's on 17" wheels
New Mods:
Livernois Stage 1 Cam (224/230, .581/.590, 114 LSA)
DOD Delete Kit
Retune (I'll be running a 75 shot, but I would feel perfectly safe spraying more on this tune)

Here's the same graph, but with the added graph of the bolt-on/75 shot in green.

When I originally had the car tuned with the headers, I had him set the shift point to 6300, but I noticed the power was dropping hard by then and I was a bit nervous about revving the DOD lifters that high, so I had it set back to 6000. Now with the new cam I have it set to 6500 rpm.
The car pulls hard and a few preliminary "test runs" show that it seems to be running strong. It also drives very nicely, with little indication that the car is cammed, other than the sound.
I will be getting 1/4 mile numbers ASAP. I was supposed to go today, but it looks like rain.
Here's a idle clip:

Thanks guys!
I'm very pleased as the mph is right where I hoped. Now I just gotta get gears and a stall to chop away at the 60' and see how far into the 12's I can go.
I'd like to get to the track once more this year and try the 75 shot. My best run with bolt-ons and a 150 shot was 11.97 @ 119.0 mph, so if I can come close to that on the 75 shot I'll be thrilled.
