can anyone give me the skinny on what happened with the cams? I know there's a large thread on it. but what was the end result? really expensive, and only a 30hp gain? something like that?

I had one and yes it threw a couple codes when I did mine haha, but there ended up being something wrong with it and I got a new one and it worked fine.

Get that SS bumper and a nice set of wheels. You can keep the 1Lts as a beater/racing set. Don't go FI with only 5gs.

You gotta remember, you have to pay for the kit, install, and then have money left over for problems which you will eventually have. At some point something will break. FI needs to be a good 8-10k investment.


Anyone on my rim question?

Get the street scene with lower air ducts and a heritage grille and keep the v6 look!

Cams alone seemed to show around 30HP, but after the ported heads went on the project ran into issues and never really found its true potential in my opinion.

But I know it is not done with. Hopefully there will be more to come on this and Yellow_Glide will be able to do more with it soon. I have talked with him recently, and he's been busy and away from home. The car hasn't been driven much at all lately.

edit: looking at your build thread, you can do all of the cosmetics you listed, and have extra left over, I believe.

Sorry about that, haven't updated my build thread in awhile. Been busy with school but now that summer is about to begin, I'll be doing a lot more

I haven't updated it but I'm looking at the ZL1 bumper now. Think it looks way more aggressive. I would stay with the v6 bumper but I think it needs a splitter and all the splitter options we have stink

I definitely agree with you, on all the turbo builds and supercharger builds I've been apart of on other cars, the philosophy of "take what you think you're going to spend and then double it" seems to workout pretty well most of the time. So there's no way I'd attempt FI with only 5k.

BTW, to answer your question a 17x8 will fit.

Did you notice a decent increase when you installed the Ported throttle body and the "black ice" manifold insulator?

I don't see headers on your build thread so if you don't have them get some good ones.
For the looks a hood with a working induction scoop in the middle would be awesome.

Oops forgot to mention I have headers sitting at home waiting to be put on.
A hood is a good idea, I like the VIS AMS
