oh and nice sig but i do tell people that the ls6 is a good cam for a 4.8 , because it is. junk yard 4.8 with a ls6 cam FTW, sure other cams could be found that would work better. but a used ls6 is cheap and makes great power and tq. 700whp and 640tq on a budget is good enough for me and most other people.
Lol i was wondering if anyone was gonna notice it... its all in good fun... its kinda my poke back at the guys that suggest that cam no matter the cubic inch, cylinder head, turbo etc etc.

The car is gorgeous.... Im glad you are gonna pick a different car to cut up to go fast more safely in.

You build reminds me of my friends Gen1 RX7... hes got a ford 2.3 4 banger makin 475 to the tire in it. Its like a freakin gokart.

Maybe Denmah's football trick would help you out on the launch...lol

The damn twist you get on that frame is crazy man. Showed one of my buddies all into Z cars and he freaked. He said "man, so much torque!" LOL Then I told him it was a junkyard 4.8 with a snail attached. =) Way to go, regardless man.

I see that you said on the bullet that you got your 8 second pass. Insane from a junkyard 4.8.

Ok so you.mean this is the fastest stock bottom 4.8 right. Title is misleading I thought you meant stock bottom lsx, which it isn't. Congratulations though that is badass for a 4.8
