Cam the car, or just headers... - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I put headers and full exhaust and tuned. I loved it. It was loud enough and it went pretty well. I drove for a month like that and put a cam in. I didn't get huge gains with the cam (about 25 hp,it was a mild cam with big lope) but I had massive gains in smiles. Mine is an M6, I would absolutely hate to be in stop and go with it. It's a trick to drive at first until you get used to it. I have also driven my friends G8 GXP auto that was cam'd. I'd absolutely drive that daily, it was a blast.

Put on my headers during the weekend. Loved the sound especially with my muffler mod(1le npp)...but my wife still said to cam it. She said the car was still missing something... Dropping the car off Wed..

Hahaha..well you can run a really mild and reliable cam too! That should do the trick and it will have the torq at low-mid range!

RupertPupkin · 01-17-2017, 12:07 AM

Nah... doing the polluter stage 3. I mainly drive on the hwy/freeway... Itll still be a trq monster though

SHES GREAT!!!! Before I met her she had 2 built evos, and 2 bikes... when we started dating she she didnt have the cars bc of "adulting". 6 months in, we bought an evo 10, 8 months of ownership we traded that in for a c6z. 4 months after the c6z she gave me the idea to build the G8, then 2 months after the g8 got built, we built the c6z.. i knew I was going to marry her... and here we are 5 years in kicking ass and taking names.

christianchevell · 01-17-2017, 07:10 PM

AH the polluter a nice cam choice.... Nothing like having major lope...LOL

SSEssence · 01-17-2017, 07:41 PM

Cam + header, all about that lope!

RupertPupkin · 01-17-2017, 09:22 PM

Searched high and low for a good cam.. was originally looking at tsp 235/239 but didnt like the split. Btr was too cookie cutter for me, and everyone and their moms was running the cam

2010reddevil · 01-17-2017, 11:03 PM

Why don't you get Kip from Cammotion or Pat G spec one out for you? Really sounds like you need a custom unit, not a one size fits all.

RupertPupkin · 01-18-2017, 12:00 AM

Nah.. i went a custom route b4 (g8/c6z). Want something thats been proven over and over.

OK, I can roll with that too! You want something "tried n tested".

Major contradiction here!

lol!

GPI SS3! Proven performance/power over and over, just search GPI SS3 here on the forum. That's the cam I want.
