Car just doesnt seem to be as fast as it should be V2
Brian, are you absultely sure that you aren't having some other mechanical problem? I'm only saying this because I see it all the time. Have you done the basic checking of leakdown and compression? Plugs look good? Sure you arent floating valves or blowing out spark? Regardless sell that cam though.
um, not really, i presented 2, maybe 3 options, you said i had answered my own question, i was looking for input on whether or not what i suspected was the problem is the problem...
too sketchy, last time i almost broke my face. lol

You deffinately need to listen to everybody about the headers. Thats a KILLER on spool time. Trust me, I know cause I have a STS as well. I'm selling mine though and going NA 383 and later a Maggie. My car pulled like a son of a bitch on only 5psi, but in first, almost nothing. It wouldn't make boost and it didn't start till about half way threw every gear, then as soon as it hit full boost, it was time to shift again because the damn 4.10s the previous owner had in it. That was also with a T76 though. If it had more boost and 3.42s it would have been a complete monster. Don't run to low of rear gear, no headers, and maybe turn the boost up a little. Also, some people don't realize it, but the filter skin that comes with the kit is VERY restrictive. I saw a dyno of a car that had it on vs. off and it was over 30hp difference. I think it was actually more like 40hp that it robbed.

Im gonna work with what I got for now, I know how fast the car should spool as a buddy of mine also has an sts kit on his fbody... Im gonna keep the wrapped headers FOR NOW until I can get something differnt, but until then i gotta work with what i have.... however the cam is a MUST change... and I will be changing that out very soon, package ships today.
