First impressions of the gm847
 
Wow. This thing is a monster. Today is my first day driving it and I was a little worried about cam surge, but I havent felt any yet. I only drove it a few times because the exhaust isnt bolted up yet, but i couldnt resist. A gm847 with open headers?!? The whole neighborhood came outside to see what the hell was going on! :D The only problem I have with it so far is that Ill definetly need tires soon.

You are about to be "MR. Popular" in your neighborhood with open headers. :D

We lived at the end of a cul-de-sac and one of the neighbors had a dragster with a nitro burning 392 hemi - he used to run it up the street once in a while :D

Id like to have a neighbor like that, everybody around here likes lowriders.

Let us know how you like it once it's all together and tuned up, especially in the typical driving rpms(1500-3000 rpm).

That cam is a monster up top, and will turn a lot of heads.

Hopefully some of your neighbors are gearheads and will appreciate what you have done.:D Any plans for the dyno or track?

Thats awesome. I'm putting in a GM847 this summer too, that cam is a beast.

gitsum 05-05-2007 12:18 PM

I am definetly taking it to the track, but I need to get a clutch first. The exhaust should be together this evening. I'l let you guys know how it behaves.

i run duals with single chamber flowmasters and my neighbors were joke about sending out a letter to the neighborhood to get funds to buy different mufflers for my car. :)

gitsum 05-05-2007 08:11 PM

I got everything bolted up and it sounds good. That thing pulls HARD up top. Its feels weird to lose traction in the middle of 2nd gear. It has a tiny bit of surge below 1800 rpms, but its hardly noticable. I think it has good street manners, maybe because I have a 6 speed. And I love the looks people give me at traffic lights! I cant wait to pull up next to a mustang or somebody else that needs to be humbled!:D
