A mild head cam car that runs 11's on motor sounds pretty normal. He also clearly states the NEW motor has only seen a 75 shot, meaning he sprayed the old motor with 100 shot.

My old z28 with 5.3l heads and a TR224 cam ran 11's on motor and it was a 6spd, with the spray it did 11.1. With an auto it would have been even easier.

If that's Reid's car I'm sure the ad is correct. Every car he's own has backed up what he says about it. In Mexico and the strip.

The Bird is almost complete (hint hint) and each day the 2012 Camaro itch keeps getting worst for me.

Now that I think about, you've probably spent more time with my car than I have...lol

Thats cool I figured you did not recognize the car with the new hood....are 5.3 heads considered part of a head cam combo....there not ported just have some good springs and a larger intake valve...but they seem to work good with the 224 cam and stall combination on the street and track...later..
