I guess all the people I've seen with f-bodies just don't launch as hard as ya'll! Now on my 79 Z & 84 T/A I twisted the hell out of the bodies w/o SFCs, but I was under the impression the 4th Gens were quite a bit stiffer.

Oh, and thanks to the people picking actual options now. I just put things in the poll that would actually be a possibilty for a gift, while i would love to get a cam (tsp 233/239), Im not getting that for a present, plus there are alot of other small things I would have to get for the cam to cooperate with everything else. Trying to keep the budget under around $200

On that note, if you have an idea thats not in the poll for around $200 or less, then i would like to hear it.

I have that cam, and love it. Now that is tuned, it drives like stock...well with a LOT more power. lol When you have the oppurtunity to do a cam, definatly do it. I drive mine 700 miles a week with no regrets.

No dyno numbers with this cam. I do have track times, but they dont reflect the power of the car. My tires are ****....2.378 60ft. 13.2 @ 111 lol, should be like a 12.10-12.20 car i would guess.

BTW i drive 600-800 a week. I drove 240 miles from yesterday mornign untill now, and i have tod rive home fromw work, and go out tonight lol.
