Default Got the cam done!!!!!!!!!!
Installed everything two days ago. Kind of a bitch to do, but it was my first time doing a cam swap. Started up the car and the thing could barely idle. Found its idle after awhile though. Just had to keep babying it and it found idle.

Took it down to CMS yesterday to get it tuned. After all was said and done I put down 434whp and 380rwtq. So ******* excited!!!!! This is with long tubes, true duals, lid, K&N, and a torquer v.2 cam.

The drive home from CMS was fun as hell. I killed a C6 corvette and he was like WTF??!?!?!


























Just kidding, but I did save money on my car insurance by switching to geico.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nah, he won't see that big of a gain, he will be swapping out his already installed LS6 cam for the T2.

434 cam only is easy when all you have to do is type a number

Hell, I put down 550 before I even began modding. Anyone else have a "freak" like that?

It might be possible if I did a bigger cam. Don't want to go too big.
