I'd say cams + tuning and you'd be happy.

 

texas represent....

good job on the LS swap... how do you like it???

personally i would go with the crower stage 2's. that is what i just ordered for my motor. when i get them installed ill post about the outcome

 

how's your motor doing with a 75 shot?

have you thought about peicing a turbo together for the LS. if i dont like the all motor route i am going to sell everything for a nice turbo set up

 

of course i thought about turbo. i may do that later on in the year. let me know how those cams go also.

dont do crower they will break into 4 peices

 

Get billet cams. They wont break as easy

 

i think crower guarantees against breakage. that is what they are priding themselves on. 'no stock regrinds'

'billet'? company or what they are made of

 

i just got a chipped ecu for my car and gutted out the cat. going to the track tomorrow to see what i run while i'm pretty much stock. hoping for LOW 15's.

I love the nitrous. Actually I'm a NITROUS HEAD. Only reason I recommended cams is because that power is never lost. With the LONG gears and the nitrous, I have me a little v8 killer . TEXAS REPRESENT

 

do you have any internals done to your motor, or is it just the NOS? i want to spray too, but i'm still not sure yet.

get the Crower 403 cams and tune them

 

You have no idea what you're talking about


Crower makes some great camshafts and their quality keeps increasing...I am a proud owner of a fine set of crowers, just don't forget the springs/retainers...

 

from what i understand you dont need the springs and retainers for the stage crowers.

 

Only mods are a aem intakee, ghetto exhaust piping, the zex and a act hdss. Spray and OEM clutch don't really get along . My pressure plate had grooves in it where the clutch riviets wore into. Only thing I hate about nitrous is a couple days before the track opens its all gone. I know about 6 places in dallas and all of them were out last week

 

get some nitrous after you get some crower cams...you should be able to run a 55shot...

 

LoL. Yea, try revving a stock GS-R valvetrain to 9k...then come tell me you did'nt need springs....

(maybe you heard something like that for a stage 1 cam)

 

for my texas buddies. go for the crower cams. you can allways use nossssssssssssssssss as your last resort.

 

Actually I do I know first hand! I had A friend that happend to and crower dont give a ****. It bent all his exhaust valves and fucked his pistons up. How the **** do you know I don't know. I will give you his IM name and you can ask him personally. I use there springs but I would never use there camshafts go skunk2 or you will regret it crower cams suck ***.

Ok. From what I've heard, the older crowers had some breakage issues, however the same can be said about SKII's as well(not to mention Jun's are notorious for shreadding timming belts ). The early development stages were not so advanced, but in recent experiences they have reinforced their work to avoid against this issue. I stand behind crowers in full, they have treated me very well...

 

00' Ls I/H/E street tires 15.4 ............. add 70 shot and some MT's 14.1

 

damn, i sure do hope i hit better than a 15.4 at the track with my ls. all i have is cai,2.25" piping, and an apexi muffler. i hit a 15.8 with my d series motor and my car sure does feel a lot faster than my d series motor. i think my hatch is a little bit lighter than yours though. can't wait until i get to the track.

also take note i was all set-up for juice on that run......retarded timing and cold-plugs etc etc etc

 

Well, I suppose I can now officially *open mouth, insert foot*
I broke an intake cam today, I'm a lil peeved to say the least

I just got off the phone with them and they say they'll replace free of charge...but we have to pray for the cam being the only damage to the motor
