Default Just Started My CC503 LT1
Wow,this cam has a rumble to it.
More than I thought it would,I am pleasantly suprised

The car pulled like raped ape when I kicked it down on the Highway(Freeway) at 70mph to 120mph where I decided to back off in the interest of public safety.

Its also not bad at part throttle cruising.

I will post some dyno #'s next week after I get some miles on her.

Mild Heads Cam Pkg,with the CC503 and 918 beehives, my heads flowed 249cfm at .550 lift.

SLP 1 3/4 single cat headers into a Catco cat and Magnaflow catback.

Congrats, good choice in the cam. I ran the 503 for about a year with stock heads and was very impressed with it. It had great street manners and pulled like crazy!

Thanks I thought I went too mild, but hearing it idle with that nice rumpity rump I am glad I didn't go bigger.

I am going to check the AF ratio on the Dyno next week so will see how good Ion's mail order tune is.
