Nice Kills so far, to bad you had to take down a fellow/now-bastardchild of yours [&o]

How much is a heads/cam swapfor any of the f-body engines? Nothing against the cars(I love the Z28 and Trans Am looks wish they didn't kill off the ****ing trans am [:@]), but all the people talk about how fast there carwould be with a heads and cam swap.How much power does a heads/cammed f-body make? and do all the other parts of the car(rear end, transmission, etc)fine with this upgrade in power? This is something that I have always been wondering. Thanks ahead for the help!
A cam itself is around $250-$300, for an LT1, probably around the same for an LS1. A cam swap with the price of the cam and all materials added in is probably around a grand. I'm not too sure about heads. A lot of cam-only LS1's make around 400rwhp, there's been some get up to 450rwhp with stock heads still. A H/C LS1 should probably make around 500rwhp, I believe. Once again, not sure, I don't look into heads all that much, just cam stuff. The rear-ends are rather weak though and it's not hard to snap the stock 10 bolt once you're pushing some pretty good power. Stock power with some sticky tires and a high rpm launch could probably break one.

Transam

Subotai_95 - Check out that link, decent car, decent price, decent mileage, and there are about 20 more just like it around here where I live.

I'd even consider that a little on the high side. But, the prices I usually see are from private sellers on LS1tech or CZ28.com.

There was a badass 01 or 02 TA WS6 for sale awhile back from a private seller. It had like 40k miles on it and was putting down 450rwhp with bolt ons, a cam, and heads. It was like 14k or some sh*t.

What color was it. I think some guy from LS1tech/SeatStaysUp.com may have bought it. The one the guy got was a pewter colored WS6 with gunmetal ZR1's on it. And I believe it was putting about that much power out with H/C/I. It was also in TN, I think.

I'm about 100% sure it was the same one. This one was from TN and it was a pewter color with gunmetal or black rims.

That is indeed the one. Did he sell it to someone from that site or what?
