Not much, just working and wasting the earnings on my "money pit". Glad to see you in an LS car. It'll be fun getting together with u and slowbird for some cruising. If all goes well, I will be getting tuned next Wednesday.

I'll post up in the forced induction section when I get the numbers. Well, if it doesn't commit suicide on the dyno lol. Your car sounds beastly. Just curious, hows the driveability so far with that cam?

Got that cam in my 240sx, my LS1 is stroked to 383 inches, love the performance when over 3000 rpm, forged bottom end, so I spin it to 7400, the surging is no big deal unless you're trying to creep out of a parking spot.

I figured the driveabilty wasn't that great, but its a big cam for a stock cube ls1 and will behave as such. A good street tune would most likely help. Mine got considerably better after I got a different tune but it still surges some at low rpm. Is the car your DD? If so, i could see how it would get annoying.

its not my DD, but i choose to drive it more than my DD. i love this cam. really turns heads. sounds sick at idle even through the quiet magnaflow catback.

heres me vs DowantLS1's LS1 87 Notch mustang M6. its cammed. he has a build thread here somewhere. he made 401whp.

Mine drives really good with no surging at all. You will be able to get it worked out with a little more tweaking.

wonder if its related to my misfire issue. im gonna try O2 sensors first. then go from there. cause of how it was acting on the dyno it lead the tuner to believe it could be a malfunctioning O2.
