Vette Doctors Cam Only

I had Carmen at The Vette Doctors install a cam, springs, oil pump, etc on my '98 A4. The car now has a 224/224 114 Cam, Chain, Oil Pump, Springs, Kooks 1 3/4, High Flow Cats, LS6 Intake, 3.90 Gears, PT 2400, Z06 Exhaust, K&N FIPK, 180 Thermostat. Budget did not allow for heads, so that will be next. The Vette Doctors have added all of these parts in stages over the years. It put down 370 rwhp and 363rwtq a few days ago. Due to the rain I have not fully felt the new power, but it has a nice lope and sounds great. The Vette Doctors have always worked within my budget and helped me attain my goals. I don't have a 7 or 8 second Vette, but they treat me right every time. The only shop that will ever touch my ride, trust me on this one. I'll hopefully get to the track this spring to improve my times. What do you think I should now run assuming I have the right tires?

Thanks Carmen, Dennis and Joey. Never settle....

Sounds like a really nice setup, should be good for high 11s with drag radials and good 60ft at the track. Traction has be to hard to come by with the 3.90 gears and the added power! Bet it's more fun though.

Glad you enjoyed that blast down Rt.15, man that was a long time ago!

It's an addiction, once you have a taste for the power there's no going back. The cam is probably my favorite mod, that really gives the car an old school race car sound and feel.

Wow, that is a long time. I imagine that the fellas were with the Chevy dealership back then before opening their own shop?

True.
The level of service & trust they have provided has created a loyalty that would be near impossible to break.
