Kevin, are you driving down to VA Speed to pick up your vette when its done or are they trailering it back to your house? If the plan is to drive down, you can ride with me since I want to get my other car tuned ('09 Mustang GT) by Ed while we're there - if that works with Ed's schedule at that time. Mike

Hey MIke, I think we've got a few going down when it's pickup time. I let you konw when.

Getting the Mustang ready for HPDE's?

Sshhhh! Not too loud... Janet might hear you, LOL. While the C5 is my dedicated track car, there is a SVT Superfest at VIR in May that I want to take my daily driver to. I might surprise a few of them

Is the new cam just bigger or something with different valve events to help with the poor flowing stock intake? Any hints on the size of the two different cams you are trying? Is the ls3 type intake any better than a ls2? Going to try porting the stocker or fast?

The new cam is a little bigger with different events. I'm sure Shawn will be posting the cam specs if he wants to. The L76 intake was ported by Cory at LS2Portworks. I think the stock intake is actually very good for it's intended purpose. That's why people are having such a tough time improving on it. It's just not up to the task on the larger builds.

I hear you on the intake, it just seems like the only intake that flows really good is the stock ls7 (or at least people put up good numbers with them). When I saw the fast 102 was available for both ls3 and ls7 I just figured if it's an improvment over the ls7 (even if slight) I thought it would be a great upgrade for the ls3 style. Anyone ever flow them all on the heads (ported and non ported)?

I love waiting..

If patience is a virtue then that's one more I don't have.

You da' man!

Love how the torque number is keeping pace with the HP. Getting close to that 550/530 DJ number.
