Hey you guys going by DE Saturday?

I have DWE but since it's so close to KAFB, I might be able to roll by for lunch.

Looks like a buncha lookie loos heading over....but some cars actually gonna hit the rollers too.

Be good to see some action!

I will most likely be at DynoEdge, my car goes back on the rollers at Motiva tomorrow though so I'm not sure there is much of a reason to dyno 2 days back to back? If a good show from a newer Mustang goes up I might just have to knock them down a notch however......

I keep trying to get Chris to dyno but he wont do it.... Would rather just hope his car isn't going to blowup I guess ???

$40 is a good deal.

David - do the damn thing man... Good before and after numbers for your Cam.

No doubt...I like the $40 deal. LOL

David...I second the advice. I wish that I woulda got like a 500 mile on the odometer "real" baseline. I actually took all my ish off and put it back to stock at Motiva and did a baseline but I know that it was inflated since there was a Diablo tune in it.

Eh....baselines rule if they're done right.....and if you can continue to use the same dyno for the "after" work.

Motiva still in the old building I take it?? I see alot of action at the new one. Should be a different shop with the new Fabman. Hopefully all them Egos get along FTW!! Would be rad.

Don't let a Mudstain have the high number of the day...do what you gotta dew bro.

Cam....... ......

Good stuff. Yea, it's been hard to find anyone that does stuff on the side anymore. I think businesses threaten to fire anyone they catch doing it or something?

Don't waste your money on the heads. You'll gain minimal if anything. The money is better spent on gears or something that will allow ya to hook a little better.

Go big on the cam...fear nothing.

Good point...prolly a bunch of companies looking for any reason to thin the heard and save corporate dollars.

Agreed, no need to do anything to the LS3 heads unless your going to a bigger displacement. It would be a few thousand bucks and only gain maybe 15-20 ponies. Even the intake (manifold) is really good. Seems like the fast manifold doesnt gain almost anything either (as sexy as it looks) on stock cubes.

Do the Cam and see how she feels.
