I remembered you were putting in that 200/206 cam. Just wanted to see if it was in yet and what you thought about it.

[99redcamaro]

i don't have my car back yet. i checked with my mechanic today and he said it was going to be ready by wednesday-friday next week :(

he said they were porting the heads to match with the cam.

i'll let you know as soon i get her back.
by the way total $$$$ invested in this rebuild including taxes was $3874,96.

i'll included a detailed list of whatever his doing on the engine(he said he's so eager to see the specs too [img]smile.gif[/img] ), plus a sound file,and the dyno numbers. perhaps i'll take her to the track for the first time , cause now i need to know how it would perform after all the money i've put on her.

could had a swap done with just a few more hundred :(

[99redcamaro]

maybe, but i live in california and the law here is so crazy :(

anyways my idea now is to keep the car for 4 to 6 months, enjoy her as much as i can,then sell it and get another car.

in the meantime i just though it was going to be cool to get the v6 the way i always wanted

the replacement for next year
first option: 2000 camaro
second option: 1969 camaro

if the money allow me
2000 corvette
2004 Mitsubishi evo 8
2004 Subaru wrx sti

as you see i have a lot to think, and some money to save for the corvette or the little bangers. :cool:

[99redcamaro]

i got a call today from my mechanic telling me my car is ready, so i'm going there this afternoon to get it [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

99redcamaro...c'mon, let us know the scoop. I know it's only 4:30 over there, but it's 7:30 in NJ already and i'm waitin to find out about that cam!

[JAM]

lol me 2. I was also thinking of using this cam. I'll be curious to see how much of a differnce can be felt.

I wonder if we could use a hyerptech PP3 with it, and one of those 1/2 inch intake spacers? Would that help or hurt?

[99redcamaro]

i finally got my car back.
so the first thing i noticed no ses light [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

the second thing i can really tell the diference now, even my wife asked me about the new rumble [img]smile.gif[/img] . i mean for me is perfect. at idle no hard core chop but a beatifull mellow sound.

i haven't try her hard cause the mechanic said to wait 500 miles, but i was reving her to 3000-3500 rpm's and that raspy flowmaster sound is gone. i mean my car used to be raspy at about 3000 rpm and up.

they did a complete rebuild, bore and stroke cylinders(don't know the specs, reading from invoice so is like a doctor recipe [img]smile.gif[/img] ), got new pistons and ring set,comp cam #76-801-9, the comp valve springs #26918-12 an the retainers #774-12,new timing chain,oil pump,new lifters,bearings,used heads(were ported to match the cam),complete valve job, etc.

also i have the comp cam specs

these specs are for cam installed

so far is all i can say cause as i said before i need to wait 500 miles :( , so i won't have the oportunity to have some smoke coming from the rear tires until then.
