Yeah I was a real big help as well. I was the designated beer supplier for the day. I did learn to unbolt the tranny from the bell housing while it is still on the car for a much easier disassemble .
On a different note, I had Patrick G spec me a cam the other day. He came back with a 232/231 .612/.592” 111LSA +4 advance. If I go ahead with it I will be staying with the stock heads for the time being. I know what Rodney thinks of the cam but what do some of you other guys have to say about it?

Patrick knows his stuff. And with lift and duration that big you may not have any issues with where the curve is. I'd just ask him where the peak will occur. Then figure out your plan for the car (heads?, gears?) and go from there.

he wont have any issues with where the power comes in and peaks at. That cam should make alot of midrange torque, and great topend power. I just got a 226/230 .609/.588 on a 111+1 and min edoesnt peak untill shortly after 6000. Should peak around 6100-6200 with untouched LS6 heads. I just bought a set of ported heads, and dont think it will make much diff. I will be shifting at 6500-6600 regardless.

GMMG cat back for sale...
If anyone is interested, I think I am going to sell the GMMG cat back that I bought to put on my car. I just am afraid it is going to be to much for me to handle with my motor and off road y. I would like to get $400 for it, I also have a nice set of Corsa clone dual tips for it at an extra cost. PM me for details.

i just picked up a magnaflow catback for mine. HA, i think it would just be too loud with my current dumps right after the headers with the cam. Someone pick up that GMMG, thats a hell of a deal!!!!

Scott, if I had the money to buy the GMMG I would be all over it since it is such a great deal. However, the cam and other stuff is going to set me back a bit and is already more than I want to spend right now. I have heard the GMMG on a cammed car and it sounds great. I also like the idea of my SLP dual/dual quieting the car down a lot when the cutout is closed. Then if I want it loud all I have to do is flip the switch. I am sure you wont have any trouble selling it though.

Well his cam is running more advance and if yours peaks at a little over 6000, I'd think it it would peak before 6000. Nothing wrong with shifting slightly past peak, but you don't want to shift too far past it. If he can make slight changes to the cam to make it better in the long run, now is the time to do it.

I am talking to Thunder Racing today. What changes do you think I should make? Will this cam not be a good choice if I plan on doing heads later on down the road? I told Patrick that I eventually plan on running different heads but for right now it will be cam only for awhile. He also said that this cam will have strong power from 2500 rpm on up. Said that it is an area under the curve cam and will have fantastic mid range torque. I don't want something that is all top end, but still want something that will pull decently up there though. If that makes sense and is possible, haha.
