Default Speed Inc. SI5 cam installed

I picked my car up yesterday from Speed Inc in Schaumburg, Il and was once again very please with everything. They are a professional group of guys that do great work. Anyone in the Chicagoland area considering having work done to their car, I highly recommend Speed Inc.

Took the car (99 M6) in with Vararam intake, LS6 intake manifold, LG Street headers, and their street tune from when they installed the LS7 clutch in the car last year (aprox 360 rwhp).

They threw in there SI5 cam (231/237,.589 .595 112lsa, 7.400 chrome pushrods, .625 beehive springs, SLP oil pump, SLP under drive pulley, and new oxygen sensors, and dyno tuned it.

Cars runs very health, is streetable, and sounds awesome. I will definitely be taking my car back there in the future when I figure out what I want to do next.

Nice numbers from their work. Should be really fun to drive with the increased hp.

Really nice numbers!!!

I basically have the same mods minus the cam, so this gives me a great idea what I can get to with the cam!!

Well, lets here a video! I have been wanting to get my headers installed and was going to go to them as well. Seems like a good bunch of guys. Heard nothing but good things about them.

No video. I was not there when they were tuning the car, and Tony was out of the office when my car was on the rollers. I will try and get a video clip of the car in the driveway with the cutouts closed and then open them. You can do the headers yourself, that is what I did. However if you choose to have someone install them, I would not hesitate going to Speed Inc.

Numbers are really high for a stock heads car.
