I wonder how many people will forget to turn off their stability control, try to do a burnout, then take the car to the dealer and tell them there definitely something wrong with the engine - not enough power to do burnouts! :bellyroll:

Traction control and stabilitrac are all under one big switch (literally and figuratively - the switch is really big, right in front of the gear shift on the console).

It turns everything but the ABS on/off.

Probibly 3 years for a normal person, and perhaps 2 years less for the car witha hot cam (cuz the mentatity will be totally different) , now for the guy who thinks a cam alone will give him 50 more HP on a already well cammed engine, well its anybodys guess

Alignment specs also play a part in how long the tires will last.....

If the factory alignment specs call for more negative toe-in up front and camber in the rear for tighter straight line and more bite in corners, you can expect lower tread life even when driving easy. The tires will be in constant battle with the pavement, giving you more feel and control but wearing out the tires in the process.

Cam or not, high gas prices or not, even excessive wear on the drive-train will not stop me from layin' lot of rubber with the 2010 Camaro, i mean i do 400 foot drags with my 2000 and nearly 600 foot with my 95, whats to say i wont shoot for 800 feet with the 2010, plus i wanna see 170+. i estimate my tires will be gone before i even leave the lot, i've already told the owner and he said hed have some new back tires waiting and an area roped off for the burnouts:headbang:

GamerGuyZ28 10-16-2008 11:42 PM

yep, it's a new 3.73 i dropped in it, makes a huge difference. only i have to do second gear burnouts cuz 1st is waaay too short, i only do 30mph in 1st

Hylton 10-16-2008 11:43 PM

GamerGuyZ28 10-16-2008 11:45 PM

Check it out. Page 112-115. The specs on the engines show you that the only difference is the cam. Proof that slipping in the Hot-Cam alone and bolting the engine back up will relinquish 50hp! This is an official GMPP catalog.

You go ahead and do that; throw that cam in there and strap your car to a dyno. Let me know how it goes.
