Thank you gentlemen! They look nice on the outside but they are still 80's rattle boxes inside lol. Doesn't bother me, I love the thing.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! It's nice to hear considering the money I've dumped into this toilet, haha.

Very nice! Glad to see the cam is doing you well.

Who says big cams can't run well on the street?

I second that. You and your bros cars are defiantly in the elite group of the nicest third gens around.

Good race Scott, and love the angle of the go pro!

Thanks again guys! I'm very happy with how the car is performing considering there's still room to grow.

When I bought this cam, everyone around me was skeptical because of the size. Got to say though it sure has proven to work well. I absolutely love the way this car pulls! All in all an excellent street camshaft.

Thanks Matt! Yours is on the upper end there too, since they are still plagued by the majority being crap boxes haha.

Thanks man! Didn't know if I'd get sick of such a bright orange or not, but after 2 years I'll still park it somewhere and look back at it a few times while I'm walking away lol. To be honest, your electron blue was one of my other choices during the paint color decision. Always loved that blue!

Good races!


Anytime I see a good looking 3rd Gen, I always check them out. You don't see many of them in good shape around where I live.

Thanks!

I think that's anywhere, haha. Considering they made a million you'd expect to see more, but people just aren't dumping the money into them yet. There's only a handful of nice local ones.

The SNS Stage 3 and SNS Stage two are very strong performers. They can transform any street car into a low end torque and mid-range monster. Not to mention still pulling strong to red line.

It's easy to make a big peak number. Making the big low end/mid-range torque numbers and making the big peak numbers at the same time is the cat's meow.

That's what initially turned me on to this camshaft. I wasn't looking for peak, but a good usable power band. It delivered.
