That car DRUG you on the highway and ran faster at the track.

Im more of an LT1 guy. built a mild .060 over motor for my old 95 firebird. never dynoed but it was a ~350whp car w a stock cam and no tune (never got to finish the build

)

I most def do give credit to the heads. Just with .600" of lift you have to have a way to get it in and get it out. So youd have to have an intake and headers, at the very least, to move the air. I never got all the mods from the OP so it was more of a general statment. If your building a small block, LSX is hands down the way to go. i miss the tq of a v8

sounds like you have a very fun set up! good luck to you both!!

DTHPROOF how about some

id love to see the car and the dyno sheet.

I was wondering how long it would be for you guys to show up on my forum. Yes josh I still think you old camaro was weak sauce hell you even said it yourself time to time. On the highway you were not driving it jamie was. Also I've learned a lot about my car and not having an oil cooler on it at the time how it can greatly affect performance. Yes it did run faster at the track but who has more seat time? I've only ever been twice in my life. We will see what happens good buddy.

Lol yes but sadly im taking jamies advice not to run on them my first week back home until I get a chance to try them out. Ya for my car I always know at the end of the track is what matters and my top end is not comparable so I already know I got my work cut out for me.

Anyhow I think it'll be a good run if the 370 gets from the hole well, but when the Camaro gets around 2nd gear watch out I can tell you it pulls like a freight train up high.
My old 02 SS with the same mods and a fast intake made 417HP and 385 FTLB tq, the OP can attest to how that car ran from experience... That car had a 231/237 600 lift cam it worked pretty damn good

Jamie I hate you I still have your bumper ingrained in my eyeballs when you would pull away lol

I don't have any flattering pics because I hate the black C6 wheels that came with the car when I got it so here's a couple of vids, lol. The first is just an idle vid with the Corsa and my baby-cam. The second and third are a couple of quick highway pulls before I had Mayhem tune it; it pulls harder and smoother now.

The race is this Friday. I get back from Afghanistan on Thursday but I'll be in the sack with the woman that day

and sometime Friday after jet lagg is a little gone I'll drive my car and try to learn how she drives before I go to the track that night.
