so the cam swap is finnaly done and boy there was alot more $$$ involved than originally planned!!

i planned on just changing my rockers, valve springs, and pushrods at first then while my buddy has the car torn down he says hey we might as well replace all your other important parts as well. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME?

So a new opti, water pump, lifters, 36 lb injectors, gaskets , seals and gaskets and a few other little trinkets that fall into the mix we have this

im extremely happy with the outcome it is a custom grind lloyd elliot cam the car sounds great and pulls like a ****! I just wanted to share and thank alot of you because I took alot of my research and information off of this forum and it all really helped me out alot!

now i just need a tune because my idle is all whacky

 

sounds real good man congrats

 

Sounds very nice! Let us know what it puts down (track or dyno).

 

Sounds good LOL And it always takes alot more money than originally planned! Thats the way cars are

 

If it pulls like a **** right now, just wait until you get a good tune! It will pick up a lot of power with a tune, and the throttle response, driveability and the idle will be much better. What are the specs on the cam?

 

Its a 224-230 574 lift 110 lsa lloyd elliot cam. He specd it out for me because i want good low end and mid range power and torque and i dont want to rev the car passed 6k. Thanks for feedback you guys

 

You aren't kidding about the money - spent at least $1200 so far, and I'm still not there. But I'm real close. My last items are a 255lph Walbro pump for the tank and a rebuilt water pump. I agree totally about going new and upgrading while it's down. Congrats!

 

i feel your pain!!!!!!!!

 

Sounds awesome!!! Exactly what I want mine to sound like.

 

sounds awesome man! yeah whenever i price something out i always add money, because i know its gonna take more lol.. what kind of exhaust are you running?

 

try boats........

 

try boats.......You'll love cars.

 

i run a flowmaster catback with an ORY and pacesetter longtube headers, but in this soundclip my electronic cutout was open. Thanks again guys for all the positive feedback! Ive posted on a few other message boards and all I got was snooty ls1 owners shooting me down

 

Sounds great man and looks clean too! Just curious, did you do a 98-02 front end swap? I saw a bit of the front lights in the video and they looked 98-02.

 

oh yes i did the 98-02 front end swap on the car as well! Everything on the car i did sort of custom

 

the part that got expensive also was the parts i needed for drivability with the cam, I now have a beefed up 10 bolt with 3:73 gears and an a4 tranny with a yank ss3600 stall. Lets just say its a very fun car to drive!

 

I can hear it howling and ticking from here! Start saving for a new rearend.

 

i plan on getting a similar cam.. jw have you dyno'd it yet?
