Default Whiplash Cam on a Road Trip

I got my 2000 MN6 Coupe back from EnglandGreen a few weeks ago. They installed a Whiplash cam, longtubes, and LS6 intake. As soon as I had it back, I took a road trip three days later. Left Cedar Park, TX at 4am and rolled into Ames, Iowa at 5pm (965miles). I ran 80-85 the entire way. Got 27mpg there and back. I put 2500 miles on the car in one week and it ran without a flaw the entire trip.

Anyone that is considering a cam should give the Whiplash some thought. It sounds amazing, runs great, and makes great power!

As the president and founding member of the Whiplash II club (meaning I'm the first one to get the II)...welcome to the club!!

I'm glad your roadtrip went well cuz I'm planning a 4000 mile trip for a little later this year.

Enjoy the cam!!

you must have family in Ames because I can't think of any other reason anybody would come to Iowa for a vacation. Not much in this state to see. I should know.

Anybody have any HP increase numbers over stock or a graph? and did you have to upgrade your stock clutch? How many miles you got on the car?
