Default My winter upgrade Procharged G8.

Nothing too crazy but the car has been BEGGING for a cam after dealing with the DOD/AFM setup.

To give a rundown on the car on 9psi on stock cam and heads it ran 11.29@121+ and made 558/485 on a mustang dyno on 9 PSI

Hoping for 10.8's or so after it's all said and done.

Onto the parts list
Custom Grind blower Cam
ARP Headbolts
LS9 Headgaskets
DOD/AFM delete
LS2 Chain&Damper
3 Bolt Cam conversion
LS7 Lifters
Trunnion Valvetrain kit
PRC .650 Dual Valve spring kit
Cleaned up Stock L92 heads with a little work into them.

I'm still wondering how hard the bottom end can be pushed... Good luck on the cam install - contact if you need help. I did mine over the summer.

I think i'll be fine, did the cam install in my gto awhile back no issues.

We will see i've seen a few people push them to 600-700 no issues with the motor.
