niceee

Yeah, that's just the cams: still need the suspension tweaks, after the cams are in and dyno'd / tuned need the intake, maybe a super chiller, get on the wait list for the CNC heads, rear gear swap....

Hmm this might take a while...

[KMPrenger]

OK...very cool!

So its difficult to keep up with everyone so give us a re-cap. Didn't you recently add several mods, like insulator, and ported intake and such?

Do you have a recent dyno that you can use as a "before cams" dyno?

Good luck man, very exciting stuff.

[Goo]

Cool, sounds like you are planning to do the install yourself (?)
Dyno and videos will be needed...

i believe average shipping is 10-14 days IIRC

[KeepItShut]

Very nice!

[Cyber Gray]

Are you in a blind date with a cam ??

[hunterv6]

congrats

[Yellow_Glide]

KM, yes I did. I didn't get a run in after the adds but I told steve I would do before / after when installing the cams. I'm still trying to get tint to get a run on the same dyno so I have before/ after on my previous adds. If I can, then will have my after run and the before run since the runs looks like it may be on different dynos.

no ghost cam just the real thing
