So i was out at the local hangout tonight and I got the chance to meet a few new people. I ended up getting to run a cammed ls1. He never told me what year it was. He said it had boltons and a vindicator cam. Ive heard pretty good things about that cam so i said what the hell you should beat me but might as well try I have a 99 z28 with kooks longtubes, off-road y, loudmouth 1 and an ls6 intake. We are both 6 speed cars. So we go and line up at a 40 and his passenger yells it off. We both hit it and i go like a millisecond before him and we are even much to my surprise. I whack 3rd get a little squirly and we are still even and once i hit 4th i pulled like a fender on him. I was so excited that i beat him by a lil. So we turn around and do it again and this time he jumps a lil before me and by 120 he had me by like a fender. All in all it was a great race I never thought i would hang with a cammed ls1. I also raced a bolton gt with 3.73's and a 125 shot and beat him by a car and a half. Ill try and get the video if he posts it up.

good kill. what boltons did he have? if he didnt have full exhaust with that cam i can see why you guys were pretty even.

Skeet Skeet

He didnt tell me exactly what boltons he just said boltons lol. He told me that he wants to go again this weekend from his roll lol so i better get some tires haha

Skeet Skeet

My car is not tuned yet either and i dont think that he was the quickest shifter ever lol

Good runs, but don't expect that result from every cammed ls1 u run into.

U guys still go out on friday nights over their?

Skeet Skeet

Oh i dont expect that at all. I expected him to beat me pretty bad lol

Skeet Skeet

We do ocasionaly. We usually only go out there anymore if we no that there are people gonna come up or be there. It was pretty cool when you guys came up. That was a fun night

Nice runs, man. With both of you being 6-speed cars, driver mod can play a huge part in races where you should clearly win (or clearly lose). With a good tune on that cam, he should have wrecked any bolt-on LS1 out there without issue, so it sounds like you outdrove him which are always the best wins in my mind.

Skeet Skeet

Yeah i def think i drove a lil better than he did lol. Maybe he isnt tuned or something because he should have beaten me pretty badly. What kind of numbers do those cams usually put down? I need a tune also since i put my long tubes on and ls6 intake.

That is a pretty large cam too, and aside from driver mod, he might have had stock gearing, instead of the 4.10s he would need to capitalize on that cam. Good kill.

Skeet Skeet

He did have stock gears. The funny part is that he wanted a very low roll because he said that his car was all low end torque and had no top end power. I figured it would be the other way around

You figured right.

I would say that cam should put down aleast 380 wheel maybe 400 with some really good long tubes and a fast intake.

Skeet Skeet

I figured that to. What so you guys think he is putting down if he isnt tuned to the fullest? It had to be tuned a decently at least because it started right up and idled nicely and it never wanted to stall or anything like that. Im not tuned so he should be putting down more than me thats for sure

Agreed. By what he said, I would put money that he hasn't been on a dyno. If he has, he doesn't know how to read it lol.

Skeet Skeet

If its tuned correctly he should put down close to 400 or more. Right?
