Looking back now dont ya think it would have been better had you went with a new cam that is proven to make power?

Please dont call me a retard, I didnt call you one nor do I have a cammed car that makes as much power as my did with boltons only.
sorry dude didnt meen to call you retarted just lil upset but you are rite should went w/ a proven cam owell i guess a could put my old cam back in someday

no hard feeligns man..

what do you think a stock set of LS6/2 heads would help down in the low/mid. when my bro did this swap on his old TA back in 2002 he picked up 15-20whp
remember im on a budget. i would just put my old cam back in but my dad wont let me b/c he doesnt like how porly it drove sometimes. and i still live under him so wat he say goes

j/k are you a six-speed? remember im have an auto w/ a 4k stall that drains more power/torque on the dyno

didnt see ths stall but that still seems to low, id prolly look for a used cam if i were you

They usually pick up around 20 peak HP, so they should pick up some down low/mid.

You may wanna pick out a new cam and have a friend help you with the install. Might be able to pick one up cheap here. As long as pops is cool with it.

yea man me thinks you is correct i have a privet installer/friend thats done my last 2 cam swaps for cheep (under $200) but he lives like pretty far. but i might have to hit him up and my pops too
well im going the 1/4 track tomaro to see were im at i hope i can pull off low 12's, but realisticly im thinkin low 13's. on HPP's tune(less power than now) w/ all cutouts closed b4 i got TD's i still managed to beet a LS2 vette on the HIGH WAY and he was m6. they even switched driver casue he said he was teaching his friend how to drive a stick and i still beat him..

i have 2 of these cams , one in my camaro and one in my t/a! both r 2000's, they have same bolt ons, and cam-only with the cam being a 236/242 615-612 on a 110+2 i think and the other one is on a 114 and they dyno 400+++!! one has a 3600 stall and the other one has a 4000 stall!! great street/strip cams, i love them!


p.s. maybe it ur lsa or ur small lifts! just my 2 cents!

116 is alittle wide for that size cam. Is it advanced? Mine is 114+4. I would put your old 111* cam back in, lose the TCI stall, and get LG to retune it. Your not going to put down stellar numbers with that loose stall, but it should run good at the track. Also, your AFR is 12.0, alittle rich imo.
