Default Another very BIG thanks to SLOWHAWK thread.

I just had a camswap done by slowhawk, all i can say is that if you want something done right the first time, then this is the man you bring your car to. He really pays attention to what you want from you car and your future goals. He dosen't just try to sell you useless parts to make a quick buck. He has incredible customer service, which is very very hard to find these days and was very important to me .The install was done very quickly and was done to perfection, i have zero valvetrain noise with dual springs and the tune is perfect. I have no surging idle issues or anything. My car drives just like it's stock except for a mean *** idle and the fact that the car pulls like a train. Don deffinatly exceded my expectations and i couldn't be happier. If you want to be treated great and have your work done to perfection i would HIGHLY recommend slowhawk (Don) to everyone. You can add me to the list of extremely satisfied customers. Thanks alot for the great work Don i greatly appreciate it and my car runs like a dream..

Your car lifts the tires @ 80 when you stomp on it too. What's up with that.

Default Numbers

Hi...It's nice to hear about the level of customer service offered by Slowhawk. How about some numbers? Pre and post cam swap dyno numbers. Did you use a Comp Cam? Thanks...

99 andrew, ya the customer service was definatly the best that i have ever experienced. and like i said that means alot to me. my car made 345/356 with bolt ons and now it makes 389/366 350tq at 3200. it would have made a few more as it is now but the dyno was over correcting for the temp so the #'s are a little lower. but i need new o2's my stock ones are getting lazy, stock mass air ends back on and 30 lb injectors and a quick re tune and i should be in the 390 ish/370 ish range. ill even have a bigger smile then i have now..... look in my sig for the rest of my mods.

save yourself a headache and dont bother wasting your money putting gears in that rearend.... Buy a new one.... (12 bolt, 9 inch, or dana ) I've put in 4 10 bolts... My car keeps pissing through them... I had 2 replaced under warrantee... and one outta an Auto that i practicly got for free... and the last one was a built 10 bolt. Moser Axles, Aburn posi, GM 4.10's, Cover, Axle Braces Everything you can possbly do to a 10 bolt and it still only lasted 1100 miles.... and 600 of them were break-in miles on the motor...
