Hey Area, did the cams get rid of the boost creep that you see with the stock cams?

Alpha N, Now that makes my head hurt. I go crazy when I work on my Balt then try and work on my Gf's Turbo'd Alpha N Cav. It's like going from Pen and paper to drawing with rocks in a cave.

So Area47 where is the video you promised

Well that's helping us jk lol. Btw out of curiosity did you go with the straight 272 cam specs or did you go with what you were talking about in the other thread about a few months ago. Highly interested in this, since I know very little about cams, but know a pretty good deal of engines

yulp. 272 grind that many people run. ok, well a hand full of people run at least.

and the long anticipated shitty video of the cams. at the start of it, it sounds like complete ass. it is no where near that loud at idle. however. the exhaust is.

cheap kodak camera

Very nice Area. Btw I'm jealous, a year ago I was at the dealership just looking at the 07 cobalts and I saw a deep red like that, I fell in love, but was not ready to trade mine in for it. Love your car color.
