My Cammed Kenne Bell Vid



This is a crappy little vid of my cammed Kenne Bell Camaro. To my knowledge it is the first non shop built Kenne Bell in the country!!!

I still need to get it tuned for the cam and headers, but my first impression is WOW!!! I have had plenty of fast cars (blown GTO, Nitroused LS1 Z-28,etc) and I ride a Suzuki Hayabusa, So I know what fast is all about. And let me tell ya..This thing is freakin fast!!!

As far as the install goes..I am an average mechanic at best.. I would describe it as VERY involved. I had the help of a few friends who are even less accomplished than I am, and we managed to get it all in and running!! The instructions from Kenne Bell are VERY detailed and easy to follow.
The cam and valvesprings didn't have instructions, but some common sense and the right tools helped us along tremendously.

I would also say that the guys at Kenne Bell are very customer friendly. I think I bugged poor Matt to death with questions, and he was always happy to help!! They also forgot to put an o-ring in my kit,(no big deal, these things happen) and when I called he was very apologetic, and I had it in my hands in like 14 hours (from Cali to WV..Pretty impressive)!!

So if you are on the fence about getting a blower, I say go for it!!! You only live once, and this is one of those things in life you will not regret!!!

No, you would want to do a custom tune. I would get Will@ APF to do it.

Thanks guys for all the props!!

The motor: LS3

The cam: Comp .226/232 .585/.595 on a 115 LSA. 650 lift double valvesprings, moly pushrods

The exhaust: Kooks 1 7/8 longtubes, catless mids, and muffler deletes..Its loud as hell!!!

It took a few weeks to get it after I ordered it, but I think I was one of the first to get one..I think the availability is better now!!

Long tubes and pipes running straight out the back? Hmmmmm.....shouldn't be much in the way of back pressure. You might consider headsets and an intercom system so you can communicate with your passengers. Wow, that's got to be a little loud. With mild boost, you have to be in the 650+ rwhp neighborhood.

How hard was it to get the tune into your PCM? Did KB do it for you or someone else?
