This is awesome! This should become a sticky or be in the FAQ section. I know this took a huge amount of work but really will help people make a decision about mods and now they only have to go to one place!

Woot! My car made it in for the QM600.

There's other videos I have that allow people to hear WOT a little better.

I found another Vette Doctors cam video, I posted it under the ?? section but I'm guessing the car has stock exhaust with headers. Skip ahead to 0:48 when you watch the video.

I ran a 11.32 at 126 with my current setup takin it real easy out of the hole too with a 1.89 60 foot with a 10 mph head wind

I know i could have definately got in the 10's that day if it wasnt for the head wind. So if you did a good run with aired down tires and no tc you should be trapping atleast 132 with like a 10.7 or .6 i would think. nice.

I have a question about "sick stick", is that the name of their cam or is that the name of the package? I keep seeing Vette Doctors RX cam also so I was wondering if it's two different cams.

From what I gather the "sick stick" is the name of the cam that goes with there rx package. I believe they also have smaller cams the stage 1 and stage 2 and then goes the sick stick.To me even the sick stick sounds very mild so im goin with that or maybe see if we can tweak the grind just a hair for a little more lope

the RX is the package it has different numbers (Rx 650, Rx 750) etc It includes the sick stick or choice of cam, calloway intake, hardened pushrods, American racing headers,160 stat and all necessary parts and labor to install and a custom tune. I think it was 5899 out the door. Hope that helps. I just want the sick stick and possibly headers because i already have a kn air filer, ported tb, intake, 160 stat and tune.

Too bad it doesnt seem like it makes the power to match the sound or so it seems. Id love to have that cam but question how driveable it is with the 6 speed...

Mods, make this thread a sticky, please. Loads of great information on what is often and rightly considered 'subjective' - this helps many, plus there are a ton of really great sounding cars
