Default 2009 Head/Cam LS3 Vette vs Cam Camaro SS

I did much better than I thought but we only got one run in due cops in the area.

He said he has bolt ons, heads, cam at 495rwhp, I have bolt ons, 224 cam, 4.10s. Enjoy

I would hardly call that keeping up. The vette was pulling away like a train when he let off.q

The camera car got a jump and then the Vette almost immediately stopped the pull and then went flying past like a freight train for the one gear they were in after he stopped the pull. I wouldn't call that keeping up.

exactly..

Still, you held up in there for sec because of your gearing/torquy cam I'd guess.

Well he was pulling me hard but I let off before him because there was a cop on the opposite side that had someone pulled over so we didn't get to do another. But there is no chance of me holding him untill I get my new cam and some heads.

This was just a see what I can do kinda races. His car is sick though he is a member on here.

Good run man. I have stock LS3 heads untouched. Just cam+bolt ons.

You forgot to mention you didn't honk! You got a nice head start.

For the folks asking speeds it was maybe 50 to 80'ish I stopped in mid 3rd.

looks like you pulled 2 cars in 2 seconds..Rapeing at the minimum..

OP..**** man get those heads/cam...my 2004 vette with ls6 heads and 224/224 cam hit 378 rwhp..thats baby power these days..Time to step up the game!!!!!!!!!

I hate how these new camaros can run 13.0...new mustangs can run 12.7 and freaken base vettes can run 12.4!!!!!

Just to hard to keep up these days

There's not much power to gain at all with aftermarket or ported LS3 heads if your car already has them: matter of fact, I don't know of any LS3 car that has ported there heads unless they upped the displacement also. no point, small bores will not support any more intake flow no matter how large the cam! And hogging the exhaust will only net 5-10rwhp: not even close to worth the $$$ invested in the chore.

Nice race btw!

Ok thats what I thought but my friend in my car thought u said heads as well, ya I wasnt sure what was going on, but I was in 3rd should of been 2nd.

The guy recording is gonna bring a nice camera for next week, and we r gonna get a lot of runs everyone vs everyone basically one big video(or try). Because I beat that heads/cam trans am(black) by about 2 cars from a 40 and he said taht cobra takes him by about 2 1/2 cars so I want some of that lol.

Jesus that would have been one hell of a freight training if the race had gone on longer than a few seconds lol.
