i sked about that, they said it will give me a SES light if it idles for a while, lol thats why i got auto tap.

what does you comp do? is it just to slow? or what?<hr></blockquote>

the cam is just too big. i made the mistake of runnign too big of a cam cause i wanted the car too rev higher. i was thinking of changing the cam too a smaller one but now i have it figured out. when i start the car i have too hold it at 2500 for 3 seconds or so, then i slowly let off the gas. the ses light comes on and the car idles fine. but if i come too a stopsign or light and hit the brakes too hard the car dies.lol. i guess i have a racecar on my hands

I like the specs matt posted...however you can run deep into the 11's with a stock cam...the heads will be a different matter???

[mattsv6]

have you seen my heads? i spent months porting them too get them just right. i had too use a piece of construction strapping for the template. they are enourmas!!!!

[StudlyCamaro]

i still dont know why you arent running the 3400 top end... what flow #'s did your heads put out?

[nocutt]

For what shane is trying to accomplish...a mild head work...FLOW not pressure...to keep drivability civil!!

[Shane]

ya i think im goin with ZZP's VS cam. should do the job.

i jsut havent gone that far yet. i will be doing that soon this year hopefully. plus i wouldnt be able too run the lt1 throttlebody without more fabrication. i want too keep that crap too a minimum since it took sooooo long too get the car done thus far.

I think the VS cam is geared towards SC's...remember the general rule..." You will make good power with a bad cam + a good turbo, vs a good cam + a bad turbo" ...You see I keep on preaching this...picking a cam for a turbo is a headache if the market for streetable turbo cam hasn't been delved into...

[snatch]

Im curious as to why alot of people at turbobuick.com thinks this(Speed Pro cam, #cs-1016R) is a great cam
dur@ .05 204 214
sae dur. 280 290
cam lift .280 .295
valve lift .448 .472
lobe cntrs 107 117

but many people here favor the intake over the exhaust?

we make custom turbo cams that are streetable. look at david siri's car. that thing is being driven right now !turbo and it is fine.

I don't doubt that Matt...your work precedes you ;) ...however, two identical engines with two different turbos and their intended use MAY not be able to capitalize on the same bumpstick! It is a given...I think it becomes subjective when one uses the word "driven right now" and then streetable in the same breath (under this circumstances in particular). Drivability and Streetability aren't one in the same...(3800) turbo cams will be succesful if kits are more readily available, that way each tuner can make a spec'd cam for each application...that is just my opinion!!This way there is a direct connection to what REALLY is working and what isn't...WITHOUT knowing the pressure differential between intake and exhaust...then a turbo cam is really "hit or miss"...remember maximize not optimize if you have to open the engine...you proove this already with your own setup!!

[mattsv6]

custom cams. we design each cam for the application. ;)

[Shane]

do you guys price match?
