good damn that bitch is idling loud........me likey

 

u got no muffler or cat?

 

lol, no cat, and 3" clear image exhaust with magnaflow resonator and straight through muffler

 

how much are the cams

 

they are 450$ new from ttr
i got mine used for a hell of a deal lol

 

iam just curious nwae....what do you expect for your 1/4 mi, maybe an estimate

 

I'll guess 15 flat

 

ur running those stg 2s without a tune?


be careful. you will throw your engine apart lol


im thinking about going with the old reliable F/IC

 

so it might actually be possible to hit 14's n/a lol iam excited now

 

dang haha nice man

 

did you use the old zip tie trick, how lond did it take to install....also if your doing the cams cant you just disconnect that cams from the cam gears and just leave the chain on...well i guess thats why they use the zip tie lol....but would you recomend this upgrade?????i want to do this so bad but not sure if im smart enough lol.

 

damn i likey.

 

faster than that.

 

All of you need to read the thread he posted.. Its long! but it will teach you a lot!

 

I wanna see an in-car vid when you get tuned.

 

will do on the vids
called vince and are tuning next tuesday 11am my time
only doing a road tune now as i am tight on cash (gf lost her job) and then will dyno seperatly

im guessing a 14.5ish on the 1/4. i ran a 15.4 with stock tires, header, dp, and cold air intake with a partial beta road tune....SOOOOOO i FULLY expect to hit the 14s in the 1/4 mile time

and yes, i tried the zip tie trick, f'd the timing and bent all 8 exhaust valves, car has been down for a month+ now and has cost me extra money that i didnt want to spend...do it right the first time and time it while your doing it, it will teach you alot and be right the first time..head pulling is no fun

thanks OBZ, im not the guru of ecotecs by any means, but after all the work ive done with my car id like to think i know a bit about them ...
AND love to help you all, so...if ive done it, or you think i can help with it, ASK!!! ill help if i can

 

right on tom. glad to see the car up and running again. sounds good, and cant wait to see the vids after its tuned!

 

I've got a question for you: What position did you put the cams before you took them out? ie did you put cylinder #1 at TDC? I have seen several different instructions. My Chilton manual said to put #1 at 60 degrees before TDC. I've read through the cam install instructions and it is straightforward, I'm just wondering about this particular step. Thanks.

 

the gm manual that we had when we did this said put #1 at tdc, worked great
just rem, do it the long way and time the whole thing, cutting corners=suck

 

or buy the cam swap tool and it will hold the timing gear!!!

 

Ok I decided I want them back. lmao

 

After reading this I'm glad I payed 3 hours labour to get my cams done by a shop. I just could not get the GM dealer to loan me the Cam Holding Tool and my mechanic is friends with the guys at that dealership so he got it no problem.
Good to see you got her running.

 

ya...i wish i had now, although the experiance gained is invaluable

**** off

 

how rude
