That power is fantastic on a stock motor Randy. I had to forge the motor in my Challenger and run 12psi of boost to get 550RWHP. My power curve starts to level off about 5500 as well, that's why I asked.

There are almost NO cam options for my 5.7 VVT based motor, so I assumed that's what it was but since you have a cam in yours that raised my question.

Maybe Ron can chime in.

Congrats on the ride. I'd also be curious to know how much timing is in the tune.

Ok. Got home a bit earlier. it was a good day.

The moment I got home I got out and took a quick post trip exhaust video.

So as soon as I got there Ron tossed me the keys and me and my son James went for a ride.

It was allright.

So we get back to the shop and I go in to talk to Ron..............

Ok, for real.

It's been used quite often. "It was a totaly different car." Well, when I did my blower, I never used that typical saying. After the blower it was the same car just a lot faster.

OMFG.................. This is a totaly different car.

It's INSTANT torque. It shoots off before I touch the gas.

And there is a whiplash effect. I'm really glad I didn't do the stall. The torque is instant. It is pulling HARD right from the lowest RPMs. No waiting on torque. This car is just Fing MEAN. Throttle response is instant. The only reason I can see to get a bigger stall would be out of necessity of a bigger cam. But this is perfect to me. It really does feel like it's a totaly new designed car from what I had two weeks ago.

Where did my Camaro go?

Couple things I noticed. After driving the Jeep for a few weeks, and drivng Bonnies car up to Atlanta, I got in my car and backed it out. My first thought was, WOW, the 5th Gen Camaro really is a fat pig. Felt like a tank. I had forgotten how heavy these things are.

BUT, accelerating, it felt light as hell all of a sudden. I've always said that Bonnies car FEELS faster but of cours mine was faster. Didn't matter. Fact is hers always felt a lot faster do to the light weight. NOT ANY MORE. It is so cool. And I only have the 3.2 pulley on there. I still have 30/30 in the trunk.

Also, the instant and incredible torque makes the car act different too. I could be a drift champion.

Ron took me for a ride in a blown Z06 Vette that was pretty damn impressive.

All in all. though I spent 11 hours driving in a 13 hour day, it was a good good day.

I have come a LONG way since the 'Slow L99' moniker.

Amazing what a little fuse pull can do to a car....

I'm so glad Ron and Vengeance was able to deliver.

Ron, Honest, I've been telling him to go to you since he put his blower on.

Couldn't be happier for you my man! Glad to hear you are happy with it.

I told Ron about you telling me for a year and a half to call Vengeance or send my car back and get a Prius. And how you've given me the number a bazillion times.

You like that lope?

Did you install the headers yourself?

I'll have to try to get a video, its just been so hot here that the car hasn't really gotten cold, so it hasn't been ticking as often or as much.

I actually still have stock headers.

If it's a header leak it will not matter if it's hot or not. Lifter, maybe but a leak you will hear till the headers get hot. And with the stock gaskets I'd guess the lifter is more likely. BUT........ I was right exactly zero times in this thread.

I'm trying to get to 500 rwhp with stickers only. So far I have some pfadt, adams, rotofab and einbach stickers. Which other stickers do I need to push me over that 500 mark, I'm sitting at 435 with the ones I have now.

I need a Vengeance sticker I see!

Judging by the up/down lines on the graph, belt slip.
