Default anybody on the fence about big cams

or 4.10's, or better both with lg's. Get off of the fence. It is not only worth the $$ to do it, but well worth the grin, spectator reaction.
Since Jason finished with the car, fixed a pinched wire problem, it has
just gotten stronger and stronger. Dont know why, may the computer.
1st through 4th are sideways, didnt believe until I did it myself. 5th
just continues to pull till redline. Drive along in 4th and jump on it...
your thrown back and off you go. Not going to say how fast I had it,
but will tell you it happened very fast. Car drives in town very well, in stop and go traffic very well. I have had all age groups stop and ask
what in the h#$%% i was running, or to just say it sounds mean both idling, and running down the street. As one ole boy said..now THIS is what a Vette should sound, run like.

I had great results w/Whiplash. After Stephen installed it, my P1SC-equipped vert went from 433 rwhp to 507 rwhp! Awesome power and completely tractable around town. Much credit must, of course, go to Stephen's ace tuning work!

Thanks David. The last Whiplash I completed (just 2 days ago) pulled like a freight train - 99 FRC. So far I have installed more than 2 dozen Whiplash cams - by far my most popular cam

Here's your car as a refresher for the rest of C5 General

That's one of my customers - but not one of my cams. It's just a little bigger than my Godzilla cam.
