He spent all his money on the car, so he didn't have any left for the other 3 cams.

Better yet why did he throw in new cams when he could have got more power from some pulleys or a ported blower?

oh ok maybe he is trying to keep it a sleeper. what kinda cam was it? I know the popular sleeper cam for the GT500 is the Voodoo Mighty Max cam. Was that the one he was running? They actually make pretty good power from what I've seen on GT500s.

What motor are you running? Sick numbers...

Lol stop asking that question. Why did he put exhaust on it?

Good kill man.. Would you happen to know who runs around murfreesboro in the black gtr? I see him every weekend I'm there. Saw him coming back from Nashville few weeks ago, he passed me doing around 140 if I had to guess. Other time he kicked it from thirty next to me. Sadly, both times I was in the grips jetta. Haha

Mods? I'd love to set something up when I get my car done. There are a few others that I would like to line up with as well. I know how some of those boys like their rolls.. Hopefully my little stock cube stalled auto will be able to run with them.

What is killers Faggle *** up to these days?

Good Kill..OP
Those GT500s are not easy prey.
Love those LSX motors! Lots of power N/A.

On a side note though, like MACH BOY stated, why would the guy with the GT500 go through the trouble of putting cams in his car. Anybody with a DOHC 4-Valve motor knows that it is a PITA to put cams in. He could have made more power just going with a pulley or ported blower and added supporting mods.
Unless he was looking to make major work for himiself or pay some serious labor cost if someone else was going to do it for him.

Yes, no doubt. Good point! They definitely need to go on a diet. Probably a good 350 to 400lbs weight advantage for you.

What GT 500 owner go with that setup instead of a CAI, Pulley, intercooler upgrade and a dyno tune. The fool should have lost. Very few GT 500 owners opt for cams rather than increased boost. He deserves to lose.
