Thanks! I was looking at IOM with white or black stripes...but the CGM looked too damn good against the IOM to pass up! |

Orange Bee is currently sick and in the care of the local GM dealership.
He's suffering from clutch pedal stuck to the floor syndrom |

Car had been fine for over 5,000 miles....then I launched the car at around 3200 RPM and the pedal stuck to the floor Got the pedal back up, drove a bit and it was fine. Tried another hole shot and once again it stuck to the floor So I figured before the cam goes in and they try to blame that, I better get the issue resolved. Hopefully by next week I'll have more answers! |

I know what you mean...some dealers will find anything to blame it on. What cam are you going with? I plan on doing the same to mine in the near future. I'm looking for a nice lope but nothing too drastic that it will affect low speed drivability. |

I was wrestling with 2 cam choices...big ( 232/242 .601/.610 @ 114+2 ) or small ( 228/240 .571/.590 on a 113 ). I was going small, then changed my mind...as long as Comp hasn't cut the cam yet I'll be installing the larger of the 2. Seems as if the smaller one should pick up 40 RWHP and the larger one around 60 RWHP. Once the clutch mess is sorted out, I'll be moving forward with more info on the cam swap. |

Okay, got the car back today....repair order states the pressure plate was changed, along with bleeding the clutch.
The difference in where the clutch engages and the firmness of the pedal is incredible. This is how it should have been from the word go!!!! Cam is slated to go in on August 23rd, I called Comp to change over to the larger of the 2 grinds I had selected but the smaller ( 228/240 .571/.590 on a 113 LSA ) of the two had already been cut. I'll keep everyone posted on dyno results as soon as it's all wrapped up. I'm hoping to see tween 450-460 RWHP...stay tuned |

Cam goes in on Monday the 22nd...so I figured I'd take the car out to the local strip to see what it would turn as is.
Best pass I could get out of it was 13.1 @ 109, tossed the keys to my buddy and he squeezed out a 12.9 @ 111. First 60' take some work....I'm sure it'll be even more fun post cam sawp! Last edited by Huggerorange73; 08-19-2010 at 09:02 PM. |

Had a scheduling snafu with the shop....dropped the car off Monday, but a couple of the crew were ill, so they got behind. All of the mechanical aspects of the swap are complete...car just needs to be be tuned. However, because of the backlog caused by the sick guys, car can't hit the rollers until Tuesday.
So, check back in late Tues for dyno sheets and video clips! |

File this one under the learn something new everyday file...
The single bolt on the cam is a torque to yield bolt....as soon as the dealer gets my bolt in, this loooooooooong install will finally be over. |
