So is your question Steve how much gain by adding a cam to a bolt L99 car (including a stall). I'd say 3-5 tenths depending on cam size (small to huge being the range).
Given how good the stock heads are I wouldn't expect much gain from adding heads but there should be a small gain. It's all kinda relative, look how good Terry and Jeff have done stock internal, I don't know if I have the patience to wait til November for the -500 DA air I saw last year.

John you already have an 11.9x car right now if you had good weather, even without skinnies! Based on your time slip. Patience is hard when you know you can cam it and go much faster. Terry your car could potentially beat Rhinos record if you gain the same amount he did with this last cam. Low 10.80's?? Whew!! Difference will be your 3200 vs Rhinos 4000 converter. |

But Steve remember that you gotta match the Cam you select to the converter, with a vvt 4 or One of Rhino's bigger cams YOU'LL be golden next spring at Byron (I prefer it at Byron lol) or GLD. I say you do it all at one time so you get the CORRECT cam with its MATCHED stall. There are only a few Converters that I would go with, look into ProTorque (Joe and crew over there are awesome), YANK or Precision. Loose or tight will be up to you. Just my .2

I'm wanting to do the converter now to minimize the cost of the cam. My uncle has built a couple motors including his 383 stroked 82 vet. And is pushing the idea of doing it ourselves. But im thinking of getting it done professionally. We are talking 1500 in parts alone. If I did a stall and Trans cooler 2500+ and then if I have it professionally done 4200 is the best quote I got. So if I broke it down in 2 sections its easier to accomplish.
