You need to PM the board members so we can get in on the fun.

You're going to need a real good tune with that and it will pull like a freight train up top with that 13* overlap it has so for your application it should be ideal but I'm just learning about cam events so I'll let the real experts take a stab at it.

I went with the TSP 2" headers. At this point I just wasn't going to spring for the 2" ARH's. If I get close to a # at the strip and think it will make a difference I will swap. But the money difference now buys a Circle D triple disk....

Got a 3" off road pipe. Bought the LG high flow cats that had 100 miles on them for $100. Going to weld them in. And mating it up to the SW Retro Chambered.

That is going to sound like an ABSOLUTE monster. The headers will not make that much difference at the track too justify a swap. If you were starting from scratch I'd g with the ARH, but the 2" TSP's will perform just as well, differences will be small if any.

There are better cams, Ls3/L99's flow very well on the intake side and you should compliment the exhaust accordingly. Just my .2

Or you should look into a Protorque converter (PTC), Joe knows.

I am getting a dyno tune done in a month, I will have the AFM turned off obviously. Now I have found threads on here and google search about L99 to LS3 conversions, specifically because the lifters tend to fail on the L99?

I guess I am asking is if it's necessary for me to make such changes if I am only having the AFM turned off?

Synner · 08-20-2013, 11:54 AM

Here's my parts pile so far. Waiting on cam parts and a few small items; then wheels/tires.

I did start from scratch. I just couldn't justify the money. Hoping it sounds as good as I think it will.

Of course will sound much better when there is a cam in it

I am sure. But like we've talked about.

I'm going with a proven setup and adding heads, a FAST, and a NW 102.

ssmike · 08-20-2013, 12:17 PM

Cam break in question. Like TBone I too am considering a custom grind cam for road course use! My plan if it all works out is to have Lethal do the work after the Camaro Fest next May. Thing is that I will be driving it home to Buffalo which is a 19 hour drive. Does the cam need a break in period and would a long drive at 75 mph going to be ok?

Synner · 08-20-2013, 12:26 PM

If its been tuned you're fine. Go through a couple of heat cycles before making the trip.

litle88 · 08-20-2013, 12:32 PM

The heat cycles will be done before the dyno so after its tuned. GIVE IT HELL sir.
