niceee :popcorn:

Yeah, that's just the cams: still need the suspension tweaks, after the cams are in and dyno'd / tuned need the intake, maybe a super chiller, get on the wait list for the CNC heads, rear gear swap....

Hmm this might take a while... :)

OK...very cool!

So its difficult to keep up with everyone so give us a re-cap. Didn't you recently add several mods, like insulator, and ported intake and such?

Do you have a recent dyno that you can use as a "before cams" dyno?

Good luck man, very exciting stuff.

Cool, sounds like you are planning to do the install yourself (?)
Dyno and videos will be needed...

Please post vids and impressions.
Subscribed!! :popcorn:

Btw, any estimated date on when they will arrive? Congrats on possibly being the first cammed v6

i believe average shipping is 10-14 days IIRC

Very nice! :popcorn:

Are you in a blind date with a cam :D ??

:popcorn: congrats

KM, yes I did. I didn't get a run in after the adds but I told steve I would do before / after when installing the cams. I'm still trying to get tint to get a run on the same dyno so I have before/ after on my previous adds. If I can, then will have my after run and the before run since the runs looks like it may be on different dynos.

no ghost cam just the real thing
