Bought Cam!!
 

I just placed my order for a cam. I placed an order for the springs as well. Over the next couple days I'm going to be ordering all the parts needed.

nice chad... I cant wait to see an update on your car... you have a lot of stuff im waiting to see!

what do you think it will be pushing hp wise with the new cam? whats the duration and timing?

I did a ton of research before I bought the cam. I really wanted something that would fit my driving and my car perfectly. To be completely honest I really don't care that much about how much I put down to the wheels. I just want something that'll make the car more fun, so I picked a cam that really picked up the tq and mid range power. But it's also known for it's choppy idle :D

Choppy Idle FTW

+1

Just ordered the cam install kit from SDPC. It includes all the gaskets and a balancer bolt.
I'm going to order some new pushrods soon.
At that point I'll have everything needed for the install. I've already put my vacation days in for the last week in March first week in April so that's when the install will happen.

Tom (http://www.projectcamaro.com/badls1.htm) will be doing the install and tuning. I'll be there to give him a hand but he's done it a 1,000 times so I didn't want to worry about messing anything up. But since I'll be there if I ever need to do it again I'll know exactly what to do.

that's awesome chad can't wait to hear it in some videos

Me neither, it should sound really good with the cam, LT headers, ORY, and GMMG catback.

Yeah man... that should sound meannnnnnnn. God I want a cam too. Mine's loud as hell ... but loud and lopey would be sweet.

You'll love the cam :D

Damn Chad thats awesome! I cant wait to see and hear your car this year at Superfest! By Superfest I'll have my rotors,springs,wheels,headers and ORY all on.. Cant wait to have the pc group together..

I can't wait either. I'll bring a digital SLR camara as well as my camcorder for it.

What are the specs?

Chadman is the Radman!!!
Youll love the pull youll get all the way to redline:D :D :D

awesome chad! glad you finally decided to do it

Well as I'm sure you guys have figtured out I think and look into about a 100 different things before I decide what's best for me. I just thought it was time for the idle and extra power.
I'm not sure if I should spend the extra money now or later but I'm going to get some 4.10 gears to take full advantage of the cam.

do it chad! that will make so much more difference it would be unbelievable. my car couldn't even do a decent burnout with my old rear end and was really a dog lol. when i put the 3.73's in it was like a new car...a faster one too

Well I really want to but money plays a roll in it as well.

well maybe you should sell your plane! :lolsign:

Or maybe I'll just use it to bomb the bank and take all it's money. :nana:

no... no i dont think that would work. haha j/k do w/e u want its your plane.:lolsign:

After a lot of thinking I've just decided that I really need to install gears to take full advantage of the cam and I would like to really make the car much faster all at once.

So I'll be installing 4.10's along with the cam. Oh and I just placed my order for the pushrods.

So far the install kit for the cam is all that's come in so far.

enough about your plane, what kinda cam?lol

:ne_nau:

:laugh:

I'll be ordering the parts and fluids needed for the gear install today. I might just spend the extra money and get some Strano sway bars but we'll see about that. We'll just have to see how much money is left in my spending account after all this first.

wow chad. i will be very impressed if you finally get the stranos. especially since your already spending all this dough on the cam and gear.

Well I just blew a header gasket. Figtures on the timing.

I just placed my order for new gaskets and locking header bolts. This might be just enough to make me wait on the sway bars but we'll have to wait and see. I won't know for sure for a month or so when the time comes for the cam install.

damn chad that sucks. at least you were planning on ripping the engine apart anyways. good luck brother!

Yeah it's more annoying than anything.

I actually will try to change them before the cam swap or he'll want to add that to the labor charges and they are pretty easy to do.

Just placed my order with Lingenfelter for a rear girdle and stud kit :D (That's right Paar, my car will have Lingenfelter parts on it)

Right now I'm just waitng for Speed Inc to reply to my email and I'll place an order with them and at that point I'll have all the parts needed for the cam and gear swaps.

sweet chad. good thinking about the head gaskets. this winter/summer seems like a huge time for modifications with everyone i know. tons of people on here along with a few of my friend and myself. i cant wait for nice weather!

I can't wait either. I'm really looking forward to meeting up this year. Are there any good places you know between us so not one person has to drive a lot further than the other?
My camcorder really want's to come out and get some nice FBody action on tape :lolsign:

Ah finally I have a reason to get a ride :lolsign: :D

You guys suck.

Wish I could come to a meet up with you all. Friggin' NC :mad:

It's actually the same girdle I had on my '94 Camaro. I always loved it because whenever you'd look under the rear of the car you'd see it with Lingenfelter Performance Engineering etched into it.


Well since Speed Inc never returned my email I went ahead and place my order with Thunder Racing.

I now have EVERYTHING needed for the cam/gear install except for a solid pinon spacer which costs like $17 through Summit and coolant which is cheap enough. I absolutly can't wait, i've wanted to have a cammed car so bad for so long I can't believe it's finally happening. The gears I've really wanted for the past year or so as well. Should be a lot of fun when everythings installed.

Oh and after everything I've decided to hold off on the Strano sway bars for now. I'm sure I'll buy them this summer but I'm good for now.

chadi have an extra spacer i believe

ratech 11111 or some ********

ohh yea congrats on the cam purchase
this years gonna be bad ***
