love the sound of the NFC.

Just sent BTR an email. Hoping they get back to me soon so I can start buying all my internal parts.

Congrats on your install! Amazing sound, beautiful car! Every time I read about one of these installs it makes me want to do it myself. I suppose with a little more reading and confidence anybody can make the jump! With the money I save on install costs I can buy the heads with the valve train!

This is an amazing and well done install for a DIY. Makes me want to do mine as well. Congrats! Sounds beast!

You can research it on your own. I was 50/50 on it, and Lethal recommended, so I did that.

You can do it, lot of research, read the threads, books, etc, get everything you need in advance, etc

They always break!

Nice build, great write up and fantastic idle sound. Did you think about doing the VVT cam install vs the LS 3 conversion?

Yeah, for a second. I just wanted to go the night fury cam route. No real reason. Ive always leaned towards it and loved the idle and its a great all around cam. I also started working with lethal when I got my headers and needed a tune/dyno and wanted to continue working with them.

Thanks for the compliments!

mikeyg36 · 01-06-2014, 03:05 PM

Sounds awesome! I wish I could do this myself but I know I'd screw something up real bad

Cool, I'm happy for you and every post I've read about Lethal Racing has been positive.

Awesome job . . . . Awesome sound!

I was worried about that too, but I read all the threads where people messed up, timing and oil pump, etc.
