Default Update.

I know none of you are keeping track of my mods but I am in a good mood so I thought i would give you all a little long overdue update on my 1996 LT4 coupe, "Arkham". I got the windows tinted a couple months ago. 15% all the way around with a horizontal stripe across the top of the windshield. looks really really good untill a valet attendant scratched the drivers side door tint a couple weeks after it was done! I like the shade but since i hardly ever drive it i think i would have gone 5% all the way around but i am happy with it and the workmanship was second to none. i couldnt be happier with the work. I took it into the shop yesterday for my AC problem of it not coming out the vents and only the floor. hopefully they can find the vaccume leak soon and i can have a nice cool car to cruise in! I got my cam in the mail today. I know it will be a long while before i can actually install it since i have to get a lot of other parts to put on at the same time but its still really nice to see the cam in my hands! it was like christmas opening that UPS package! lol My 1 3/4 inch longtube ceramic coated Exotic muscle headers should be here in the middle of july and i plan on installing those almost as soon as they arrive. I cant wait to hear the difference! That thing is going to scream! I did the throttle body coolant bypass a couple months ago and it seems a touch better on lower end but could be my imagination. My fuel pump went out about a month ago and so i replaced it with a walbro unit that can support up to 650rwhp supposedly so i think i am good for a while there. My entire cooling system with radiator, hoses and just about every belt, hose, andline that you can think of has been replaced in the past few months. i have been doing a lot of upgrading and replacing to get ready for the camswap next year. I think it is coming along quite well. It never moves along as fast or as cheaply as you plan but it still moving in the right direction. Im excited as can be. just thought i would share my joy with you all. any input or questions or comments are welcome

Good luck on the upcoming cam/headers install.

What camshaft did you buy, specs?

Thanks! im going to need all the luck i can get! the cam is a custom grind. it is pretty aggressive though. a lot more than the hotcama nd even a little bit more than the GM 847 ( i think thats the number)

Wow, the 847 is a really agressive cam for a 350 ci engine.

Post the specs when you get time.
