The first mod to the vette in a year. By LS7 standards, this is a smallish/medium sized cam but should bring some nice gains once the tune is ironed out.

Hey Chris! Since the layoff at the end of March i finally got a temp job at Trident Tech in May, training Boeing peeps working 2 shifts which was wearing me out. Started a new full time job on tuesday with another DOD company. Day shift 5days a week. So now i am back to some form of normalcy :D

Rematch? .................... Uh oh.......... Any man who out weighs you by 800-1,000 lbs. and wants a rematch has not been standing idley by ;) and is cause for worry but what the hell, right? LOL

Maybe we use Neils cam or if someone has a gopro vs. a passenger i can have some of my weight advantage back.

Have you been to the Bi-lo or Pig whatever it is on 78/college park? There's a new blacked out 5.0 there. Its a girl driving it and it sounds MEAN! She works there. Meanest one i've heard yet. Not sure how much is done to it.

I didn't fare to bad against him last time but he would have killed me even worse without the camera man in his car so you can keep the gopro. :hysterical:

A friend of mine came down over the 4th of july weekend and we did it. The tune came from the cam designer/developer. I'm datalogging info and sending it to him.

Thanks for the compliments guys! Sounds kind of OLD SCHOOL 70's musclcar solid lifter'ish. Not sure in real awe of the sound (type of lope) but as long as it makes the kind of power its supposed to, i will be satisfied :D

I'm at the Southrail facility working on the BFT program.

No, there are a nice little list of supporting mods. Car made 508RWHP before the cam with a poor tune, to say the least!

Damn I didn't know that. I might have to come over that way and pay you a visit. What do you think about CGI thus far? Stanley was a pretty good company but CGI might not be as good, especially for us salary folks.

Not sure how it was before w/Stanley. But in my experience of working for DOD contractors that were doing well, buyouts have turned the ship upside down

That's what it seems like is going on, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. Is Katsu Cannon your PM?

Juan got a good laugh out of that! I let him read this and stew on it for a few seconds before I told him who it was.........

cars sounds real good,

what do zr1's put down? 580whp? you should be close if not more than that, if ls3's can hit over 500 with a cam plus bolt on you should be able to hit 600, if not get really close!

hows the tune going?

I hope thats the case Carl...... Most LS7 guys are getting around 50-60RWHP with this cam and the same bolt-ons that I currently have. So I'll keep my fingers crossed.
