is anyone here running this cam? Im a long ways off from starting this project, but i want to research it thoroughly while I DONT have the money to do it, so i know what im doing when i get the time and money.
If there is anyone here running one, ive got some questions:
-what your impressions of it are
-how it compares to stock
-are you happy with it, and would you have gone bigger if you could do it again?
-what did you dyno and what are your times if youve done either?
-did you install it yourself?
-who tuned your computer and how much?
What attracts me to this kit is that it is a GM part, and it includes everything. Im pretty lost when it comes to all this stuff, but i know enough that I think i can figure out whats what once I actually take something apart and SEE the stuff. I THINK its something i can do myself. I gotta research more about tools and what not. but ive conquered headers and a clutch so far with no problems.
I know the kit is supposed to include everything, but i can already tell im gonna need a new timing set (gears and chain). Im also wondering if there is any way i can beef up the hotcam setup... such as stronger springs? Ive read that LT4 springs are marginal for the hotcam, but i have not found anyone who is running anything stronger.
my goals are as follows:
-crack 12s
-have an idle that lopes
-beat bolt on LS1s
-be reliable... i dont want to spin over 6k. I DONT want to blow my engine. Ive got a healthy numbers matching motor and i want to keep it that way.
current major mods are full exhaust with LTs, no cats, cutout, CAI, spec 3 clutch, gears (still unknown ratio that is higher than 3.42), and SFCs.
am i being realistic?
TIA!!!
