Well the the new cam, narrowed 9" & full suspension tune is done, hopefully I'll crack low 10's next weekend if I get the cage & Kirkeys in and tune done early enough next week. I'll be even happier if I break my old 500rwhp n/a with a 530+ n/a. This new cam on my SR 396 is just stupid. Next month with the SuperVic, Nasty fabbed tank & full fuel system I'm shooting to break 550rwhp n/a mark and looking for high 9's n/a, will be tough though! Wish me luck! :eat:

Unless you put that car on a SERIOUS diet, 50 rwhp aint gonna drop a full second+ off the E.T. it has now....plus it's getting warmer.....better hurry.

 

Oh man.....love the sound...wicked nasty...good luck!

 

Thanks man!

True true...that was realized wayyyy back, we've been working with the weight, the 50 rwhp would never drop any car a full second to begin with lol. The car was a mid to high 10 car before we changed the cam, my best with re-learning to drive it was 11.1 prior the decision to change some major stuff. The expectation now for low 10s is now primarily from the suspension setup, makes a big difference when done right, just hoping to get there, we'll see.

 

That is one sweet ride. Best of luck to ya.

 

Yeah, best of luck to you...That thing sounds rediculous!!! I thought I was satisfied with my stuff, but now I think I'm going to keep forging ahead...Mrs. ABA383 will just have to deal with it...

thanks guys, dude it's awesome your wife at least is into cars. Funny how you can't get near it, does she even let you drive it?

 

hey Brettinator, do you have a website that lists your combo? I am interested in you computer/tuning. I have a 350 SR and I need a serious tune. I am not ready to get the tune yet because I need a few other things first but I am curious how yours is setup.

 

Check SIG

If I can hit 11.03 with 17's, 3700, and 504 RWHP I think he can make it at what ever setup.

 

We took it to a track rental last year...I was allowed to make a few passes...With no tire pressure check (turns out that all tires were at 20 psi...hahahaha) and all kinds of her junk still in it it went 13.50 @ 108 with a 2.20 60' on Toyo Proxes...Its got an SLP lid and 4.10s with an A4...12 second car for sure with my wheels/tires...10 second car if she would let me at it..But it rides so nice now....I can see her point about modding it...Plus we've been together for almost 17 years and many car projects that have gone out of control...she knows I'm not to be trusted and I'm a compulsive liar when it comes to saying, "Its done, honey..." Funny though, the registration/title are in my name...don't see her name on anything...mmmmm....

amazing car man...that sound is amazing...now that is what a camaro should sound like....

 

Get Er Done. Bret!!!...

 

...wow where in texas are you at?

 

Interested in the rest of your combo also. Cracking 500 rwhp really isn't all that easy in a LTx car.

 

thanks everyone, appreciate the encouragement, I'll need it lol. Well I cracked 500 on the dot last year here in Clear Lake, TX, I wasn't happy though I knew the old setup had more than that but the stock pcm was holding me back, still is, the FAST XFI will set me free to shift around 7500 or so and use the full powerband of the setup. But meantime this new cam should get me hopefully comfortably over 500, we'll see next weekend.

As for the combo, it's an all Callies forged SR 396 built by LME with custom heads, full suspension, custom tune, full interior (for now). I did pull the AC...am constantly debating whether to pull it or not.
