This was while punishing a GTR!! Btw, I has gassing up at a shell after we raced and he stopped to talk. He was having an issue but I had no clue, I was like damn that's messed up, I got a few blocks away and my car was just not wanting to idle. So I limped it home.

I pulled a head and that one was ok but once I pulled the rockers a spring just fell over!! I was like OMG.

The rocker and pushrod and the cam lobe look good so I'm hoping tomorrow after I pull the head I find the piston to be OK, the valve is right there stuck!

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. There is some bad luck floating around! It's all frickin Nightmares fault LOL.

Damn!! Which car is this on Zeke?

Jason 98 TA · 08-10-2013, 10:40 PM

What spring kit is that? I don't recognize them.

litle88 · 08-10-2013, 10:41 PM

The TA! Lol I'm not punishing a GTR in the Camaro lol. Not yet at least.

litle88 · 08-10-2013, 10:42 PM

It's a comp 926 Jason!!
I can't believe it, first my wife gets in an accident earlier, gets rearended she's ok but a totaled car that's for sure! Now this.

grocerygetter · 08-10-2013, 10:44 PM

hey...you flunkies...lol...j/k...someone point me to a good read on camshaft selection/build/design. preferably an online read. LS1Tech has been good for sure any other links?
I know I'm in good hands with Rhino79 spec'ing a cam...i just want to learn more about where I'm going. plan is stock heads, my centri blower at 10psi ish, run out to about 7k rpm...I have plenty of converter now. Going to stay VVT...this is part of my learning curve. I know I need midrange power...converter flashes at 3500, boost follows right behind. Ryan is making recommendations and I would like to make sure I'm speaking his language. I know just enough to screw something up.

Nightmare2012 · 08-10-2013, 10:46 PM

Lol hey man don't kick me while I'm down it sucks to see you down but hey welcome to the club now its superchargedss, pq, darkcry956 with a faulty converter, you and I lol

Nightmare2012 · 08-10-2013, 10:48 PM

Monkeys rule!

Thanks Tbone.

He needed it ASAP got It worked out just in time for him to make the track today and kill an axle on his third session ha ha

He is putting in an axle tonight and back to the track we go tomorrow

grocerygetter · 08-10-2013, 10:55 PM

yeah...nightmare...there's actually a lot on ls1tech. seems like centris like more exhaust duration than intake duration and more exhaust lift than intake lift. vvt lets an aggressive cam be a bit more 'flexible'. I just know I'm after midrange power...like a GT11 would do, but probably more duration.

CHMSC · 08-10-2013, 11:00 PM

Hey little88 could always be worse like this guy at the track today.

Jason 98 TA · 08-10-2013, 11:13 PM

Crap Little88 that sucks. :(

As far as VVT camshafts go I'll bet $1000 right now the tsp VVT camshafts will out dyno anyone VVT cams currently available.
