Sounds awesome man! How is the DDing with that cam? I'm still looking around for what i want.

[Mike Jung]

Sounds mean

That thing must be LOUD at WOT !

What do you think it is putting down at the wheels ?
Close to 500 hp ?

[myneedforspeed]

that looks great.....clean up the engine bay, and it will be aces.

Sounds delicious. Reminds me of one of my favorite GTO vids I've seen...


Doesn't even sound like a car anymore

no way... probably more like 400, maybe 415 at absolute most.


I'm looking for a cam right now, and a FAST 102mm intake... I actually have a thread going on ls1gto.com looking for input... how did you go about choosing your cam?

[SilverGAGT2002]

i actually had a friend of mine pick the cam for me, i just got it delivered today and man does this bitch pull hard! The magnaflow tames the sound of the cam down a bit but you can still hear the cam lope really good! Once you go into wot its a whole different story

Im gonna find a local dyno and get it on there to see how much im pushing to the wheels im hoping for anything over 400+ to the wheels

Next in mind are some LS3 heads and some 3.91 gears

[SilverGAGT2002]

DDing with this cam i dont know yet i just got the car back today i had to wait for them to install the magnaflow exhaust!

On the highway it was getting over 20 MPGS if i can keep my foot off of it im sure ill get some good gas mileage

[tipnitty]

Get some L92 heads which are LS3 heads

I would personally stay away from anything from hinson supercars they are in a legal dispute for some really big frauds...

links to sites discussing said disputes?

[SilverGAGT2002]

I saw it on the gto forums i dont have the thread anymore i had it bookmarked ill try and find it for you.

[notsoaveragej0e]

Yeah, I searched their site for "hinson" and "fraud" and didn't find anything... I did come across one article on an RX-7 forum, but there was no conclusive evidence that the shop was directly involved with fraud... I've seen threads about people receiving and be very happy with the service from them in the past month, so I'm still pretty confident.

But post any links you may have, I'd appreciate it

Make sure you don't post it on the GTO board, they might not agree with you and get all *****hurt.

Srsly.

I was debating even bothering over there, but there are a few intelligent people who actually post helpful things related to the cars, and are interested in helping people (you know, the POINT of a forum). It's gets annoying, because EVERY THREAD is just "Search, this has been discussed 10002304980239482309 times!" But when I search, every thread that comes up is choked full of bull****, and more people saying "SEARCH." That place is like the groundhogs day of getting information.

90% of the threads over there have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with GTO's or modifying them.
