Just got cammed!
Couldn't be happier with the work that Race Proven Motorsports did!
425rwhp/379ftlbs SAE corrected. I'll let the video speak for itself. I can tell you though that she is an absolute handful now.

Thanks guys! It's a 114 LSA 236/242 .601/.610. I'll get the full cam card when I get home. Other than the cam I've got a Vararam cold air intake, American Racind headers and mid pipe with high flow cats and an XS Power 2.5" cat back. It's also got a Rick Kim rear diff and an RPM lvl 4 trans. The car is an absolute riot to drive.

I had been driving around for a few hours just 20 minutes prior.

Mine just had almost same mods completed, but clutch took a dump on the dyno during tuning, just in the last few days, so now a clutch is being done and then I have to break it in before final tuning can be done.
I can hardly wait to drive it.
Your's sounds awsome.

I know the feeling of having to break in a clutch when you get cammed. I did that on my GTO two years ago. I was having a god damn heart attack everytime I drove the car, trying to keep out of the throttle.

I have the same cam which was installed at the same place. I love it except for my idle problems. I also added a Fast 102 and NW 102 TB, UD Pulley and 4.10's.
But ya gotta love that idle, and it sounds way better in person!

Yeah it sounds beastly. What kind of idle problems are you having? Roshan is a fantastic tuner and I've never heard of him having issues with idling or part throttle tuning. I have heard of issues with the fast 102/102 tb combo though.

It will consistently “hunt for idle” bouncing from 500-1300 rpms. It’s real bad with the AC on. Embarrassing as hell sitting at a light!
I even dropped the coin on a second tune, but it’s still there.
I then got desperate and tried the "drill a hole in the TB blade", which did help but I was ready to shoot myself for doing that to a brand new $600 TB.
At this point I just ordered a GM LS2 ported TB and velocity ring for the Fast 102. I'm really hoping it’ll resolve the issue. I’ve been told the 102 TB is overkill on my basically stock cam’d LS1, and will cause a loss in power.
I have to ask you tho…do you hear a lot more valve train noise after the car is warmed up? I’ve read about the sewing machine noise, but after my car is at operating temp it sounds like my old 1971 Plymouth Duster 6cyl. Loud ticking sitting inside the car. I don't really hear it when it's cold.
Good luck with your new found power!
