Our vehicles worth will probably take an even bigger hit....

But, the aftermarket will still be available. Fbodies production was stopped in 2002 and look at how big the aftermarket is....

230-234 .612-.612 on a 112 will work better with your converter and make more power,purpose of a smaller cam is to make a broader tq curve,but when it starts at 4000 rpms all that goes out the window

Yea I guess I'll post the pics. Mike(GMRULZ) and Chris(AG Formula) were extremely fast yesterday. Mike is the second fastest bone stock LS3 C6 and the fastest bone stock LS3 C6 auto in the country according to Corvetteforums list. Chris's LS2 C6 was very impressive for a bolt on car.
