Good luck & keep us posted. BTW pull that nasty felt insulating blanket off your engine while you have it apart! I am so glad mine is off.

IIRC the tuning for the cams went well but when he installed new heads he started to develop problems. Can't wait to hear your car running!

I will keep you guys posted going to Chevy today to buy all the new bolts and then making sure all of the timing is correct then she's going back together and yes I got the cams from mace they are the newest grind so far and I been In close talks with them about tuning and everyday driving and they said I will be fine and OK Ruby I will pull it off haha and I'm not sure how its going to sound its four cams so I Dont think it will have that hard choppy idle but I will record a sound clip for you guys soon I will keep the update coming thanks guys for the support

Curious to see the end result

Jason@JacFab · 08-26-2014, 01:24 PM

Just noticed that's mustang dyno... That's probably why the original number seem "low"... Curious to see what you end up with though.

717Stunna · 08-26-2014, 03:38 PM

Yea it is a mustang dyno he has dyna PAC might ask to use that one next time and mace said I should gain 30 to 40 rwhp with tune and more with supporting mods I'm excited to see

Definitely use the same dyno, so you can get a more accurate representation of the gains you got with the new chains and the cams.

How is the progress going?

717Stunna · 08-26-2014, 05:31 PM

Well all the bolts and guides were delivered to Chevy today I picked them up and the mechanic is putting everything back together now he said might get done late tonight or early tomorrow but It will be done for sure tomorrow though then have to go tune the following day man this is a lot of steps to get this right I hope its worth it maybe a nice cam sound would be cool to

IBM camaro · 08-26-2014, 10:36 PM

We'll make sure you can drive without a tune if your going to a different location don't go above 2k rpms

717Stunna · 08-26-2014, 11:35 PM

Yeah mace said Dont push the car hard until a tune I don't beat the car anyway so that shouldn't be. A problem mechanic called me all the timing is done and set now just to resemble it all

RickRay · 08-27-2014, 06:26 AM

This will be pretty cool to hear & see....

717Stunna · 08-27-2014, 10:13 AM

Yea I have longtube headers to and exhaust so mace told me it should have a nice growl but it can sound better wants its tuned because I can change air to fuel ratios and spark and other things I wanted IPF tune but I'm glad I waited for HPtuners I love it tuner even told me he can put a two step on it to

c_cook94 · 08-27-2014, 10:55 AM

Man that is gonna be awesome. I'm ready to see what it puts down on the dyno.

KMPrenger · 08-27-2014, 02:36 PM

This is shaping up to be pretty cool...I hope it all works out for you.

I've been following the progression of cams for the V6 since it all began years ago. It began with Yellow_Glide trying out cams in his LLT which started off good, but went bad and eventually because of tuning (lack there of) and mechanical issues just died off.

Then it progressed to LFX, which never quite worked out...not necessarily due to lack of tuning, but because the cams weren't quite to spec.

At that time, MACE claimed the newest grinds for the LLT were good, but not he LFX apparently.

Now we are back to the LLT cams, and HOPEFULLY the tuning can make the cams work good.
