Thanks for all the test Mike. Sure am glad I have mine on order and according to Tracy it maybe in the mail as I type this post.

PoorMansCamaro · 02-14-2012, 04:10 PM

were these dyno runs done in 3rd or 4th?

KMPrenger · 02-14-2012, 04:11 PM

Sweetness....I'm in.

KMPrenger · 02-14-2012, 04:16 PM

What I find really interesting about the above dyno run is how close the TQ and HP numbers are together. Anyone else notice that?

These numbers (251hp/244tq) would indicate crank TQ numbers at a peak of 305 but peak HP at 314. That is a very nice increase in TQ over stock, but almost nothing over stock HP rating.

Dynos are so damn funny sometimes.

........Thanks. Already started it in my mind at least. I plan to use Mike Norris's instructions and take some photos along the way. Just not sure when I will get to drive it once it is installed. At the moment we have snow and salt covered streets again. Hopefully by the time the install is complete I will be able to take my Camaro for a ride.

I will probably pick the car back up on Thursday Lord willing and drive it home. Can't wait to see how it feels. I know taking it to Mikes was the first time I really had it on the road since the tune install and I got on it twice and it was sweet! The first time I pulled along side a brand spanking new '12 in CGM on I465 @ US421 and we were side by side for about 1/2 mile running 65MPH and then I just got on it. When I looked back on accel he got small quick and my speedo hit three digi ah never mind.

Anyway, I got on the car twice and each time it was strong and impressive! We have rain coming tonight I believe and same for Wednesday so Thursday will be my day to see for myself.
Great thing on all this is I got already!

I really appreciate Tracy and Mike in all their efforts to make our cars perform at their best and then some! Mike you already know you can use my ride anytime you want and I thank you for keeping me on the cutting edge!

cant wait to combine this with my VR

Wuiquen · 02-14-2012, 05:40 PM

so since this is only 9.5mm can you still use your engine cover?
I dont know what to do. I got new wheels on my car and really want to buy lowering springs but this part adds so to the performance of the car. what would you guys do? I can only buy one things now because of the wife.
is either springs or Vmax isolator and ported TB?? ( I cant tell my wife that isolator and TB is all the same stuff since will buy both at once)

Create a plan of what you want today and want tomorrow. Many of us have spent the past 2 years or more getting our Camaros where they are today.

So do you want better handling and looks, or do you want better performance. This is a question only you can answer.

Me too! Looks like my concerns with the Vararam not working with this spacer are unfounded so far.

I hope to see mine by the end of the week, if so, install this weekend.

Everything ready. Mike Norris's great instructions printed, tools and gasket maker laid out.

May get to the track in a couple weeks.

Big thanks to Tracy and Mike Norris for getting these products to the V6 community.
