Don't forget they're also talking about roll racing like a bunch of ricers.

Actually, my reply was to the facrt that he loves beating big cam cars with his little cam. It IS the combo that counts.

Sorry dude, but I don't worship at the feet of you internet heroes that run 11's with just a lid and drag radials.

That being said, I am fully aware that a "big" cam does not always outrun the smaller cam. All else being equal, it usually will.

people who've never even raced at the track shouldn't talk about their car outrunning built cars "from a roll" and offer nothing to back it up except, "it feels faster".

My car gets spanked by as many as it beats. But I don't race on the street for 3 seconds with no traction then tell the internet *** kissers that suck the dicks of the high post count guys I outran a supercharged viper. That is ricer talk.

Cool

Well we installed a Paul Bunyan cam in my buddies otherwise bone stock 02 SS. 450rwhp ain't bad for cam only huh? Check out the dyno sheet, you can't imagine the power in that 1,000rpm power band. WOW.

Default Huge cams- DD

well I'm and old school hotrodder been messing with SBC from 1976 till present. and with those old cars a huge cam was a PITA ran great from 3500-7000rpm but were pigs at speeds within our limits on the street - ALOT has changed since then. Its hard to imagine that .600lift plus cams can be made driveable on a daily basis. A buddy of mine has a pair of beasts a 99 firehawk 383 that made 550 rwhp that he roadraced - LOUD (minimal exhaust) and was a PITA to drive mostly due to the clutch. and a 02 z06 thats H/C to 475 rwhp - quiet, nasty rumble but alot more civil on the road - my 99 hawk is basically stock other than a lid and a shifter its my DD and I'm fine with that, I am building a ls6 thats H/C with a baby-old reliable TR 224 im looking for 400-425rwhp fora 69 T/A clone that i will run some road courses and do PowerTour in,I think its alot of ego maybe thats why they call them Donkey Dicks - AKA mine is bigger than yours - a DICK thing - so I have a small dick? - whip yours out and see who is faster, its all about the total compliment of all parts-under the curve. Remember the sales marketing out there- "Mega Stick" "Polluter" "GX5ws6z28" what ever name of cam the mfr puts on it, selling hotrod parts is still a buisness. put whatever YOU want in YOUR car and enjoy it if the little cam guys beat the Donkeys - just shows its not all 1 thing, its a properly matched package that makes one better than the others. my .02c

That's what my dyno sheet looks like!

This internet pissing match is slowing down. You know there are some bigass cammed beasts out there. I know there are small cammed monsters out there as well.

I like lumpy, high winding, narrow powerband race cars. I also like blown big-block torque monsters. They can both be very fast if the combo is right. Pick whatever style puts the biggest smile on yer face.

Chris 1313 knows your car will be slow. You fucked up with that MS4, it's bigger than 228/.580.

From Texas Speed's site:

All New Magic Stick 4 Camshaft!

Magic Stick V.4 239/242, .649"/.609" Camshaft With Your Choice of Lobe Seperation (111 LSA Standard)

The Magic Stick V4 camshaft is Texas Speed's premier LS1 camshaft!

The MS4 camshaft is the result of extensive engine dyno testing & research! Engine dyno results have shown over 80 horsepower gains with no other changes on a stock 2001 LS1 engine!!

2300-6800 RPM Power Band with a peak around 6400rpm; This is an excellent performance camshaft with a rough idle! Custom tuning and PRC dual valve spring kit required

This camshaft typically gains approximately 60+rwhp!

I said that sarcastically. 10.9-11.0 is fast for a N/A street car.

I tend to be wary of those that are half a second faster than every other car with the same mods. Drag racers notoriously lie about their motors. Everyone is "all stock except this one little thing".

You have no Idea what is being done to my car but you don't think I will outrun YOU. Maybe no matter what I do you'll be faster. 'Cause your awesome. And you post a lot. And the other high posters will vouch for you.

NOW who's running their mouth?

i was just giving you **** for calling someone else out that beats bigger cammed cars...yeah if everything is equal a bigger cam will give you around 10rwhp more...but other mods cam be done to not give up the streetability of a smaller cam, like a proper setup...

if it is an all out drag car that is a different story, throw in the polluter/ms4...it is just a matter of opinions

is this directed at me...if you want you can look at my SI times too...i guess lightening up the car, adding a bigger stall, cam, and 85mm lid/maf setup isnt worth 6mph...

final post i am done...

this thread is way off topic now
