It clears as soon as the throttle's cracked, 650 might even mellow it.

Hey Mavn I’m thinking of dropping the ghost cam in my ls3 4th gen as the big cam it has now broke a spring but luckily for me the valve didn’t drop andyway I’m sure the camaro will do fine, I’m also considering dropping it in my 02 z71 3:73 gears lq9 with 243 heads shorty headers and ss exhaust, you think it’ll be ok in the truck?

Also it seems with that setup you're still slightly above 11.5 compression which is more than 8.7 dynamic with the 43* intake valve closing so how doable is that on pump 93? Anybody, please chime in. Thanks.
You can push the dcr a bit if the time is on point. I have seen 8.8x dcr run on 93, and that was a PatG build and tune.

Thanks Darth, so what dcr would you do to stay on the safe side with 93 and the occasional bad 93 we get around here. 8.6-8.7 or closer to 8.5?

Yeah sorry just guessing awesome results through an auto. Great combination of balanced mods. Rod mod intake will be nice. I’m a fan of them.

Right, I'm a dubmass. 470 through an auto is really good and it really hangs in there. How's the torque curve look like?

Just for reference for people, 140mph is 6k rpm and 160 is 6900rpm, at least it is on the wide bodies.

Nice Mavn! Isn’t this your girls car? You trying to get her hurt with all that power? That’s going to be quick in a lightweight Vette.
