Default Stangkiller Has Been Seen Doing Something New...
While I was in Orlando and did the heads and cam install with some help from Chris (STANGKILLER), we decided on our free day to clean our cars, well...I got it on camera! His car came out really really sweet and looked GREAT!

AND for those of you that know Chris and how busy he is, you will be jaw dropped on his results...

Thanks guys! It came out great, except for the front bumper, i don't think there's ANY paint left....guess that's another mod project

It dusts off a lot easier now too!


And as for the hair cut...I always go to Cocoa Beach for that, and i haven't been beach side in 2 or 3 monthes So, i'll probably get one Thursday or Friday, as i'm leaving for Hawaii on Saturday.

How does the new cam compare to the old? Less duration, more lift?

I have not had a dyno Tune since the new cam, as they're close enough it works fine. I *feel* as though the power band is smoother, and it *feels* more powerfull. However i haven't had my butt meter calibrated...soo who knows how right that is. Idle is a little smoother than the last as well, i really can't say much until it goes back on the dyno..but that won't be till after the blower<not much help there>.

The only reason i swapped was because I thought i had a 112lsa in my car, and I wanted something with a little more LSA for the supercharger.
