yes wow, i would wait to hit the juice thou, i already get outa the whole fast, with traction i'd assume i would be rocketing out of the hole.
in other words i have enough trouble catching traction on Nitto DR's out of the hole stock that if you hit it with 150 out of the gate you might sit at the light for a good 2-3 seconds burning rubber. haha. my car gets up and goes! and on the street will typically put a couple lengths on most cars i've raced and hold it on them thru about 85-90. then they slowly start to inch back, which i'd say isnt too shabby for having 3.23 gears, **** if i went to 3.73's or even 3.42's i doubt they'd even ever catch back up.

I think my buddy will be quite pleased with this cam. Im sure at the track he will be running a good slick,but d/r's on the street. He is also a auto with a smaller stall.

ohh yea he is a no-driven A-hole thats for sure. but doesnt mean i didnt beat him

he short shifts each gear about 500rpms maybe a little less. but otherwise i'm a full 3 tenths quicker at the track, or was before the new stall converter and tran re-fresh with stage 2 shift kit.
plus he was on street tires.

Nice, post your new times when you get some. I still need to get some since I finished my build. CC503, headers, SS CAI, 52mm TB, M6, 3.42, stock susp., street tires.

haha yea street tires in my car = complete and total failure, i will run a terrible time cause my best time on street tires was a 14.0 and that was a 2.4 60'!!!!! hahahahaha good god it was bad.

and im hopefully getting my52mm throttle body and DMH e-cutout before i goto the track on the 21st!

I've considered a cut out on my car,but I just can't convince myself to do it.

Why not? It's very cheap and fun. As long as you get a manual one. They're kind of a pain in the *** sometimes though. Just don't put it in place of the cat. It'll get annoying real quick. lol

Try having 14.0 w/ a 2.4 60' on DR's, with suspension mods as your best time. It's very disappointing. lol. Oh well, it was like 20* outside, no track prep, and the Nitto's were almost bald.

Ill do the cut out one of these days. Lol.

Honestly, I don't really have any specific goals. I just want something that's sharp and fun to drive, while maintaining very good manners. I am not looking to build a race car.

My car sat in my dad's garage for six years after my cat collapsed in late 2000. I parked it and bought a Grand Cherokee. When I pulled the Camaro out of storage, it was fubar. I never knew sitting around could be so hard on a car. So, my first goal was to simply get it running again. That mission has been accomplished, but it's still sitting on jack stands in my brother's shop. We installed new Fuel Pump, Fuel Injectors, Water Pump & Seal, Opti & Seal, 1LE Elbow, MAF, IAT, Oil Pressure Switch, ICM, Coil, Plugs, Wires, Headers, Exhaust & sealed the Intake Manifold, new gaskets, RTV etc. I may have forgotten a few things. I have a power window motor yet to install. I'll probably do brakes, which might require new wheels. It could probably use some suspension work. I'll probably do a new driveshaft. I also hope to get it painted at a local community college if I ever get it from Kentucky to Michigan. All of that really begins to add up, but I bought it new and plan to keep it forever

I honestly never thought I would even consider a cam, but this package sounds very interesting. I've been doing all the work myself, with the assistance of my brother, or vice versa. I've never come close to doing anything like a cam swap.

Oh, it does sound pretty good, imo.

I hear you man, but just so you know, there are several cams out there that will give you a nice bump in power without affecting it's street manners. I have a CC503 with stock heads and bolt-ons, it has great street manners with my M6...just have much more power and sounds awesome.

Same here, my 95 is supposed to be the fun street car that looks sexy. The 78 is going to be the race car project Crazy cam 383 and dana 60 coming this summer. I need to strip the entire thing, fix the rotten body this summer to have a solid platform to start a sick car. I'll work on the 78 in summer and the 95 in winter. I have too many project cars for a 19 yr old.

Everything I own is a race car lol. My challenger is done,no more mods for it,don't wanna ruin the value,so not its time to play with my lt-fun.

Update: still haven't received the cam from speedinc. They're fixing the problem though. A good group of guys over there.

We do have the car apart waiting for the cam. So in meantime here some stuff we did......

We have removed the egr stuff,and blocked the hole off on the back of the intake.

We blocked off all the smog/emissions stuff that comes off the manifolds.

We made a bracket and assembley to relocate the alternator.(did this before the front of the motor was apart)

Installed the 918 springs.

We also installed a new oil pump and rod since we had the pan unbolted. Pre warning,its a pita!!!

Now we are waiting on the cam,then re-assembly.

Then it goes to Speedinc for a good tune!!

Tap out the weep hole on the water pump to put in a barb fitting to run a hose down to the ground so it doesn't **** on the Opti if it goes out

Thats how we all start

Before you know it she will be down for a H/C stroker rebuild

Thanks for that tip. Will do.

I hope not, but I am somewhat interested in this cam. That's probably a step in the wrong direction. A cam was the farthest thing from my mind a year or two ago. I'm also only about 150-200 miles from SpeedInc. Do they do installs? If I ever get my car to Michigan, I could drive over and get it fixed up. It's probably more fun, and cheaper, to just get some beer and do it yourself.
