I was wondering that also. lol What kind of cam are you running? A racing cam? lol Must have been a serious cam meant for serious power or someone needs a driver's mod...

How did it rob you of power then? It should have helped at least a small amount if you had a complete exhaust system, probably would have been better with some intake upgrades, but it still should have helped.

You either need the a.) driver mod
or b.) the reaction time mod


What kind of power were you putting down?

You can be bad at driving an auto...
When I first put the vortech on and had it tuned I got beat buy my friends n/a splitport.... I did leave a nice cloud of smoke however!

Anyway how much power were you putting down at the time with the 218/224 cam, and what other mods did you have?

lol you cant be bad if you punch it at the last yellow and not let off till you cross the line...that aint hard.........and i didnt have many mods thats why it sucked my power out...i have seen a 95 gt that all it had was an f cam and it lost horsepower on the dyno......i feel another world class 03sixbanger vs vcs_ssstang war coming again lol

We're not talking about 5.0L's and Fcams, Bcams, Ecams, 303 cams, comp cams, crane cams, or anyother v8 with a camshaft...


Back to my question:
How much power were you making?!? <-
