Default Mach1 gone!

Sorry to see it go but it was time for a little change, my daughter is getting a little too big for the backseat. Picked up an 07 trailblazer SS. Ill stick around and help out how ever I can.

I know its tough parting with the Mach. Been there man. I'm excited about having a partner in crime here on the forum, lol. You should enjoy the new wheels though, they respond VERY well to mods, as do all LSx cars.

Thanks, I just updated the OP with a horrible pic I took. I must admit my buddy is doing a great job trying to convince me on getting a cam.

Lots of good cams out there. Lots of choices as well. Just know that most of them will devastate the little bit of mileage you are getting, and will require a stall... which will quickly require a built trans. Its a slippery slope for sure, but when done right it can result in a nasty SS. I'm leaning towards either the attitude cam or rob style cam. Both can be easily found on youtube or researched thru google, etc. I like those two cams because they retain decent mileage and the rob style can actually be used on a stock converter. The stealth cam is alright too and makes a solid 35rwhp, but it doesn't have that kool lope.

My buddy wanted me to get a 228R but that seems a little excessive, Im not sold on the idea yet, would really like to keep the cam idea for the LS7...

Oh and I've found several tuners that are able to use HPT in south florida.

I like the LS7 idea. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I bought mine, lol.

Im not talking about an LS7 into the TBSS, Im talking about the LS7 package that comes in a 3300lb 2 seater sports car.
