No cam change. Just headers.

Do you think it would it be possible to run this side exhaust down low closer to the front of the car just behind the front wheel in a position similar to where Mercedes places it on their SLR??

I picked her up last night from the CMS. On the way home, all I could see was people rolling there windows up. Lol. One lady actually put on her hazards, hit the breaks and got behind me instead of next to me.

Then I was next to a Leo for a good amount of time. We got caught by every redlight ofcourse. I was trying to pretend that i was not driving a race car. I looked over at him and I got a thumbs up!

But anyways, I'm going to wash it now and I will post video of everything I can.



And to gizmo, i don't think the slr style exhaust will work

Ok it's like 150 degrees here in cali. I feel like I'm gonna pass out, throw up, get a heat stroke or all at the same time. Can't wash the car in this heat. I took a bunch of pics right now. Excuse the car being dirty. If someone could please post them for me, I would really appreciate it. I can email them.

Hey Paulie - sounds freakin' amazing! The in-progress work we witnessed that afternoon we were both there was just a hint of how awesome the car turned out.

Thumbs up again to CMS.

Easy way to explain it is it's like a rev limiter. You set whatever rpm you want it at. Helps you launch. I really love the way it sounds also. If you ever want one, the msd works great and is fairly inexpensive. That's what I have. If you end up wanting it, let me know and I'll get you the part #.



It's part #8733

This is from msd:
GM Performance fans will be geeked to learn about this direct plug-in 2-Step Launch Control. The unit is easy to install with factory style connectors for a splice-free installation. When you're staged, you can hold the pedal to the floor while the rpm stays at*a consistent level producing consistent launches.
