Thats what I'm thinking too. I've got a set of lightweight drag rims for the rear, I need to put some damn tires on them, but I like saying I run what I run on street tires too, lol.

I'll gladly run your buddy too if I cam up, but will go into it knowing it won't even be a race, lmao. That car sounds pretty damn sick.

I think I will, in fact, I know I will pull them. About the tires, to me it almost makes it too easy. There's also a certain amount of pride I get out of pulling decent 60s out of street tires. The only thing is that street tires are worthless when it comes to traction on the street. I can barely stay beside my wife's G35 up to 60 mph, lol.

Thats the exact same reason I haven't already done heads/cam or just cam...the labor. I feel like I could eek out the cam install, but like you, I'm not totally comfortable with it either. I just want a little more top end and of course that sexy lope!

Yours definitely sounds clean though. A cat-back would no doubt wake it up, but then you have drone. Mine drones pretty good now that it has 3.73s. The gears put it right on that RPM at 70 mph, lol. I don't mind it at all though.

 

don't cam it, jeez.

trans, stall, tires, turbo. even at a mild 5psi, you would see HUGE gains, and again, daily driveable, good gas mileage.

 

Trust me, 302...nothing is set in stone at this point.

 

In my case.... 200.00 vs 5000.00 was a no brainer. FI is EXPENSIVE...a cam is dirt cheap. Honestly 500.00 could get an MS3/MS4 in that thing and it would scream.


Stone - The labor on the cam install isn't that bad actually..just takes time... honestly it was less of a pita than headers. My install would have been pretty fast if I hadn't replaced the oil oring (which btw is a nightmare) and had a better spring compressor tool. I wasted hours trying between the two things... You don't have to pull heads or anything so you can get it done pretty quick.

This is what I used...

Do the JPR Lifter tool method if you do it.. (I used 49 cent dowel rods from walmart. )


With my oil pan bolts loosened and the pan down there was no way to unbolt that bolt all the way without it dropping in the pan. I ended up putting a tool we had that was angled with a point to hold the head of the bolt up in and turning it slowly with the wrench.

 

hey wtf do i know, not like I've been running a aggressive cam and power adder for a few years or anything.

 

LOL at the picture... I'm not disagreeing with you.. just pointing out the costs side of it. If I had that kind of money floating around my car would be running the LS6 cam with a turbo kit.

 

It all comes down to $$$ guys.

 

^yes!

 

Nice man ! I'm dying to get to the track, doesn't open till April though. Need to get my dads stupid camaro out of the garage and put the fox in there.

 

Appreciate it, Explosive. Whats the plan for the Fox anyway?
