no i'm not calling you slow....i'm saying the GT is slow....i heard you had him by like a bus length....i figure if you beat him that badly then my much slower car could take him or at the least keep up with him...

F30? did you mean the F13?

i'm also considering this one: http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=169&catid=44

i just like the package deals TSP offers which is kind of why i want to go with them....

i'm considering the MS3 also but am leaning towards the V2 or 233/239

Hptuners is now reading the wideband. Can't calibrate the lc1 because the plug is the exact same as the one on the laptop. Got to go to Lagrange again this weekend for a birthday party.

Yeah, it was early I meant F13 sorry. MY homeboy Josh has alot of experience 10+ years in building ls cars. He's done over 250 cammed ls1's in various platforms. He can spec you one or help you pick the perfect one. I'm kinda new to cam specs but I'm starting to understand it more each day. Doing a big cam 240ish is going to be hard to tune with it being a auto(stock one at that that will probably start to slip a little after the stall), just letting you know. Since you drive the cam alot keeping it around 230 would be more streetable. Just remember higher the duration the more it will move your power range north and you will loose power down low. I love my cam because I have great low end and midrange.

I live 15 min from lagrange. If you're interested in the trans.

Oh and btw guys. I beat pulley cobras, from a roll, where I shouldn't, and I'm cam only. Mightymike, you should be destroying them seeing as your car would pull harder up top being a 6 speed.

Pump your brakes cuz and don't get so cocky Ron was not saying that at all. If you keep this crap up trust me I'll come out to night with the IROC just to beat the brakes off that SS. Grow up dude. It's just a car. I believe I'm speaking for a lot of us on this thread that you are to believe we've never seen a I/H/C modded LS1 before. Dude they're will always be someone faster. But if you keep this cocky little attitude up that you're the fastest car out here then please stay away, I mean far away from me because it's so child like. Please just enjoy hanging out and leave the cockiness at home.

you know i agrre with you Craig....but i don't think that post was meant to be a cocky statement....i mean....if i was H/C/I i would be a little cocky too....but as we all know...there's always someone faster....its just a nice feeling to know that you are "one of the fastest"

i mean come on.....you have to admit that its a nice feeling knowing you could beat just about any car that rolls into the Sonic parking lot on friday nights...although you are mature about it and don't flaunt it so i respect you for that.....you have to admit if feels good....

yeah....the more searching i do on here on tech the more i'm finding out that as long as i get a cam in the 230 range like you said i'll be where i want to be....but yeah.....i kind of want it all....good low and midrange power that also pulls hard as hell top end....seems like there has to be a compromise somewhere though....i think i'm going to probably just go with the V2 and call it a day though....seems like a decent cam....and i'm not out to be the fastest around....i just want to have a fun/fast car.....

and as far as the tranny goes....i know it will go eventually.....but i'll worry about that down the road....i mean...it's a low mileage car so i atleast got that going for me....

I understand were your coming from too, but at the same time I have more joy in knowing that I built and tuned my own car. Please know that I'll never come hang out just to bragging about what my car can do or at least I think I don't because I've always known that there is always someone faster. But I still respect other peoples rides, not talk trash, and even lend a helping hand to make them even faster. Ron you know I've never talked bad about anyone's ride.

2Slow2Flurry-ous, are you coming up tonight?

Cmon Mike this is what I'm talking about. This is not about proving who can beat who it's all about respect. I don't get my kicks boasting about who I beat racing and the fact is I really don't care!!! But I do care about being humble and respecting others, so lets just move on and enjoy tonight. Are you cool with that?
