Default Thanks to vette air

Wanted to say thanks to carlos over at vette air. I bought his new cam which i believe he is calling it the badger cam (in between the mamba and widow) and his wcch stage 2 heads. He was a huge help through the whole install and gave me a great parts combo. Dynoed at 548/496 in vegas on 91 octane with cam,heads,cai and cat back exhaust. Im leaving prob 20hp on the table with stock exhaust manifolds but thats the next purchase when i get the money. Either way i am very pleased with the whole combo and the car drives great. Even got to put a hurting on a lambo on my way home from the dyno!!

I know Garth.
I don't have anything nice to say about him or his shop.
If you want to know more PM me, if not good luck!

Glad you are happy. Ignore the haters. Make your own decisions on the shop you go to.

Congrats on the results! I'm in the process of doing a similar setup from Vette Air, I just chose a different cam. Did you have your heads milled? Do you have any before dyno numbers? I'm also waiting on headers so I'm interested to see what the actual gains were. I'm also on 91.

Nice numbers! I went with a similar setup from carlos as well, still on stock manifolds and 91 too but haven't been able to strap down yet. Were your heads milled?

Great numbers for stock manifolds. Carlos makes some great cams. Some times I wish I just kept the mamba.

Carlos offers nice cams, my mamba works so well with my procharger I though it would not be as good a a blower cam but my set up with the mamba flat out rocks!!
