Matty, I'm perfectly fine with the 2.79. I don't want to overspin the blower. Regardless, we'll find out how things work on the 24th.
Shortbus, the $330 was for cams and valvesprings at a discounted price because the dealership screwed up and quoted me low and took too long on the install. I was supposed to have the car this past Friday, and didn't get it until Tuesday at 5:30pm...
Bad06SS, I didn't get increased boost, boost built faster to my peak of 15.5psi with GMS2 and dropped in the higher RPM's to 12.5
In no way did the vehicle feel like it slowed down when that boost dropped. It felt just as strong, if not stronger, than before the cams...

Edubs, I have to wait one more day until I can get my car and get the dyno results, its killing me, especially after seeing and hearing how your car turned out.

I think they're rated up to 7800RPM, but I'm not going to push it with the stock valvetrain and balance shafts. I think I'm going to have Matt at TTP tune for a 7500RPM redline, but shift at 7000-7200 at the most. Maybe I'll get crazy from time to time, but I don't want to risk it since GM says the stock balance shafts shouldn't go past 7K...

That's awesome EDUB. Car sounds DAMN mean, and this gives me a pretty good idea of what mine will sound like. I have stock exhaust also. I am gettin more and more excited about getting the cams and all.

with that Cam and vavle Spring or OK and don't have to worry about valve float up to around 7K RPM, but it's risky to go higher.
if you want to higher get the Ferrea Springs. Do Not Get Bates Springs what so ever I Broke 4 springs and bent 1 valve.
I has lucky that the valve seized in the guid and didn't touch the piston.
Ferrea is they way to go for who ever is thinking of boosting there Rev limiter.
if your not then stock is fine.

What's wrong with going past 7K with the JBP springs? Mev has stated before that they're fine as long as you don't go past 7800. Obviously, the balance shafts are not gonna hold up that high, but the valvetrain with JBP springs and stock balance shafts should be just fine at 7200...

I am currently at 7200 with the stock valve springs. I won't be exceeding 7400 redline with the JBP ones. I don't plan on shifting past 7200 with the 7400 redline either.

Yeah, I can't even get to my car from the other garage either. It's split and I only have access from the front, which basically means I won't be able to get in there until someone plows me out.
Dan, I didn't even bother with the shovel, I gave up and just went inside to stay warm...

I don't blame you, I would do the same thing if I woke up and saw that mound of snow there. The roads are starting to dry out here, just a little bit though. Should be dry enough to have some fun when I do get the car back.
