Great times! All from a cam that doesnt kill low end torque. Congratulations! What type mufflers are you running?
hey thanks guys! im pretty happy. im running true duals, with 2 bullet mufflers, cost about 200 installed. i have pics of it up in my sig.


How fast was the car before the cam install?
my best time was a 14.1 not sure what mph was.

so the hotcam and headers added about 90 RWHP and dropped about 1.5 sec off my time!

Huh thats wierd, I installed the hotcam with headers and went from a 14.2 to a 13.6. Hard to believe you improved that much with just a cam and headers. Pretty stout.

wow, that is a heck of an increase in HP and a heck of a reduction in ET for the $$$ spent.

Nice Work.

237rwhp seems kinda low for an M6 w/boltons (327rwhp minus the 90 that the cam and headers added)

I'd go CC305 over the hot cam, slightly bigger cam, I've seen low 12s and even high 11s on stock heads w/ the CC305, I'm going to the track next week, 1/8 mile, hoping to break into the 7s w/ my cc305.

Yep, the hotcam runs good even with lower compression. I just took my charger off and have been running the car around this weekend N/A. I think I am going to dyno it N/A before the Vortech goes on.
It's lazy down low, but really pulls hard after 3500 rpm's. The low end is where I really miss the blower.

Wow that's impressive! I'm looking for mid 12's with my HOTcam/homeported heads combo. So far it's been 8.1's in the eighth, but I think I need a good dyno tune to get it down into the 7s.

You have just tipped the Iceburg. Keep working at it and get to the 11s....
