Re: Whats the bigges cam you can get without drilling the throttle blade Why are you so averse to drilling it? Its no big deal, takes 5 mins tops.

Re: Whats the bigges cam you can get without drilling the throttle blade im not really adverse to doing it, its just the fact that if i ever have to take it to the dealer for any reason, i dont want them to void my waranty (we all know how some of the dealers can get).

Re: Whats the bigges cam you can get without drilling the throttle blade You could try going bigger through manipulating the IAC tables in Edit and adjusting the idle set screw. A small increase in the TB hole is hard to detect if drilled cleanly.

Re: Whats the bigges cam you can get without drilling the throttle blade Don't you think the dealership would notice a lumpy aftermarket camshaft before a slightly bigger hole in the TB blade? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If something goes wrong with the engine, after you made the decision to have an aftermarket cam installed you should take responsibility for it on your nickel not GM.
If your warranty is important then wait until after it's expired before slapping a cam in the car.

Re: Whats the bigges cam you can get without drilling the throttle blade I really doubt they mic out your TB hole to see if its drilled. Suck it up and get a manly cam or wait till warranty is not an issue.
