Yes, camshaft. The LLT and LFX have four of them.

Be a player and help with development instead of whining all the time.

Exactly. It was one set of cams, in one car, with one tuner. Declaring the results of this one attempt as end all be all is just wrong. Of course, we may never know the potential. It is possible there is a better grind, with a better tune combination that could yield more power...but again we will never know until someone ponys up the cash to try it out.

4 camshafts in the LLT/LFX = cams.

I'm not mad. Just pointing out that to me most of your posts sound like you are whining. I don't really remember you ever posting anything positive.

Might be a dumb question but what's all in a stroker kit? It sounds like our cars would be really really fun with one... not that they already aren't but seeing what was posted... they'd be a blast!

A stroked kit would consist of crank, rods, pistons or have your crank offset ground. To increase the stroke is just making more cylinder volume. Also that extra volume will net you a little more on the the compression ratio.

Hope that answered you question.

I've seen a few threads on here about Cams but how much is the overall cost when getting these?

Also how much is a Ported Intake Manifold?

How about hex vents to cool a little? I have a Vararam and the hex vents!

Yup for the most part. All that's going on in my head is more fun more fun!
