ace_ga. read back a little, the answer is there. Your car originally had a 3100 but the cam trigger was the same as the 3400 which is why the 99' 3400 works with your pcm. The 3400 used 3 different cam triggers from '95 to '99, '00 to '03, and '04+. The new cam uses the '04 style trigger but will work with both the '00-'03 and '04+ cam sensor. If you have a '95-'99 style cam/sensor/pcm, you will need to change the sensor to a '00-'03 sensor and use a harness adapter that will be available from milzy. Then the cam will work in your car.

Aaron, you need to reread... The years are 93-99, 00-02, and 03+. And 3400s didn't come out until 96.

Whatever... I'm sure they were in some cars in late '95 as '96 models. Why argue semantics? The informations was still correct for what he needs.

wow, lots of posts since I read last.

many of you said that the stage 2 cam/heads require supporting mods to see the true potential of the power gain, and i couldn't agree more. some of you may think Tim is making excuses about weather or whatever adversely affecting his times. the facts are this ... he ran a 14.9 in the winter (or atleast winter-like weather) before these mods, and he ran 14.8 afterwords in the summer. granted it may not be as hot as it is in texas, but i think the humidity if more detrimetal than temp. so i guess the real test is what his car will run once the weather cools off some more. great times Tim, and can't wait to see some more. what's the NA record for a GA at this point? what's the fastest record period?

and tim, i really think that 60ft is also holding up your times. i think we can get your car down to like a 2.0 60 ft without too much trouble. that would take 3-4 tenths off right there. what 60ft did you have with your old 14.9 record?

My old record had a 2.136 60ft. Pristine conditions though (big V8's tearin' all the rubber off their car and lots of glue!!).

Note my old time was in November. Not sure if that means anything or not.

2.0 would be good!! With torque management disabled and a stall converter, I think I might be able to get better than that.... (pending traction). Since the car sounds different, I haven't been able to figure out where the RPM's are when launching (hence crappy RT's). I'm thinking I should be able to stage at 3200 rpm, but we'll see. I will be getting some Yokohoma All Seasons for winter, and if I can afford it, come spring, I'll buy some nice summer tires and rims

If you are talking 60V6 NA top time, I'm pretty sure it is Colin with his 13.9 run, and that's with a hybrid 3.1/3100 in a J-body.

Pretty sure Curtis has the fastest boosted time with his 12.3s. Should be quicker once he gets it fixed and running correctly again...

Think they're talking for 99+ GA though. Top NA time is 14.79@91 and top boosted time is 13.52@102.

well the car got dynoed tonight...184 at the wheels. That's 24 more than I had before the cam. A little lower than I expected but I guess I was being overly optimistic. I was just assuming more since the listed specs on milzys website were 30 horse at the wheels for the stage 1 cam and I have the stage 2. Oh well. At least I can keep up with matt now.

Hey Eric, what were your mods before the cam swap, and what all was done with the cam swap? I tried going back to figure it out, and I think I know, but I want to be fore sure...

before the cam was borla, S&S Headers, Heads-LIM-UIM(All done by colin who did blackriders stuff), and 62MM TB. For the cam install I had a CAI installed, cam obviously, and a dyno tune.

Do you have the 2 graphs? Wouldn't mind comparing the curves to see how the powerband shifted.

i'm pretty sure we quoted 30hp at the crank. which 24whp just happens to be

Your store says, for a Stage 2, 50hp or more when used with supporting mods. The only supporting mods he doesn't have would be the PCM (which I'm sure is hurting him). That would mean the PCM would have to account for the other 16+hp, which there is a chance it could...

that should be good for 200WHP..... or 250 Crank.


If you dont put down 14.2's to 14.5's with tuning, I would be disappointed

our stage 2 heads + our stage 2 cam = 50, sorry for the misunderstanding. i'll get that re-worded to be more clear

already have the tune. Don't need a pcm. Had it tuned out there by mike. I figured at least 200 at the crank assuming I put down 160 before the cam, tune, and CAI. I thought it would at least net me 40 more horse. But as I said I was being overly optimistic. 184 is pretty decent.
