Along with the gains, I really want to see a vid how the new sound itll make. If its like the ghost cam from trifecta on aggressive, id be extremely happy. louder and more brutal the better haha

This is how easy it can be to fudge dyno#'s......so we always do 3 pulls and look for the average, and try to duplicate every aspect (ambient air temp, coolant temp, drivetrain warmed up, etc.) to try and get an accurate comparison.

Next step is installing the cams, then back to the dyno, then the heads/cam combo. Lots of work but very anxious to see the results and Vince will be tuning for each.

Thanks Tracy!! To answer the question of bolt ons - almost everything for the LLT except an Intake manifold and a plenum spacer. And to support the no two dynos are the same: my first runs in Austin in March was at 76* - two runs which made ~254rwhp according to the in-ground Dynojet. So - you could conclude: a) ARH headers, ARK exhaust, 3/8" Black Iceolator, Tune, Ported TB had no increase in rwhp or rwtq. OR b) the dynos produce different numbers because they are different, differences in air temp, humidity, blah, blah, blah.

I'm going with option b. Since this is a baseline the number is irrelevant - the key is the difference between the before and after numbers. As an example, the graph could have showed 50 rwhp, Tracy installs the cams and tune and the car make 110 rwhp - bottom line is he cam and tune got you 60 rwhp. That's the number we want to see.

Package was sent Priority Delivery by 1030, International shipment at 24lbs. Steve said there was a mix up and the cams didn't ship on the original date and he committed to getting them to me within 10 business days - talk about a stand up guy. As soon as FedEx shows up, will slap a label on them and head to FedEx. Again.

Should I post a pic of them?

I think you should take a pic just to be sure that they're the right cams

[Yellow_Glide]

Don't think the V8 cam from a Commodore would work? I'm sure we can cut the excess off and get it to fit......

We'll soon find out I guess

Should be great to see how they go once Tracy weaves his magic on them

I didn't post my original pic of the shipping container - i did not want to be responsible for the iPhone or mouse which took a quick trip across the room...

Hey bud,

Actually Jay made that result on pump gas using full bolt ons with his ported intake manifold. Otherwise we have several other examples well into the 270s and one other 280 without the E85 tune.

Ok.. haven't been paying super close attention but the 270s were manuals... My CRS is kicking in and i'm too lazy to look... is Yellow a manual or auto?

Nice pic, now get those babies installed. What's the hold up, it's been about 3 hours already.
