Question Modern Muscle Car's Mike Lyt

I just bought a Red 1994 Z28 with a 396 stroker built in 1999 by Mike Lyt(sp?) at Modern Musclecar in Roseville, MI. I was told that he left the business (whose name was changed to Aggressive Auto and is now run by one of Mike's associates named Bruce) IIRC.
I'm trying to get some info on the work done to my car by them. I have a copy of the build sheet but none of the details about the components used were included, such as cam specs, manufacturers' etc.
Also, there is also a partially completed NOS system in the car and I have some questions about how to complete the setup.
If you know Mike or Bruce, send me an e-mail so I can contact them directly.

Thanks

Good things....I hope. But don't believe everything that LTLHOMER tells you; it's really a V6 with single exhaust. I'll send you a picture of it's rear end to prove it. :-)

Yes a single 4" mufflex tip I'd love to see that car run at a track sometime in it's life. Always sounded good and the build sheet wasn't bad lookin at all. Do you have the GM High Tech Performance magazine with your car on the cover? I'm gonna go look for my copy!

Hopefully you have better results with what you got from Mike than what I got from him.

That's pretty cool. I saw the build sheets but in our haste to get everything from the previous owner's basement (full set of Welds and NOS bottle), he forgot to give it to me., but we'll hook up again this weekend. I remember some of the stuff, but the bottom line was pretty awesome. :-)
If anyone has the article, I'd love to get a copy.

11.80 @ 118 with a hotcam and 396 cubes isn't bad at all and with a transbrake, proper tires and that decent of a suspension, I'm sure there is a mid 11 in there no problem, especially with some "fall air"

That car definitly does NOT have a hot cam. I think my dad is using some old school terms using "hot cam" as any old big cam. I am positive that cam is at least a cc306 if not something more radical. I think I need to edit my dad's sig now ;-).

yeah Mike was known to throw a CC306 in many a car, I'd believe he went bigger tho with his own car.

I hate to say this to you but the car if it hasn't been rebuilt since 99 it's a 355 the cam isn't all that big. I have the specs somewhere. Also I would check crankshaft end play and see if the thing needs bearings because most of his so called builds due. Sorry just be lery of this person I wouldn't beleive one word out of his mouth, the guys a complete hack and this is why he is not in the business. The car use to have a D1 on it and thats when it ran A 11.80 not sure if the other owner ran it or if this was the old time. Please feel free and e-mail and I can tell you countless other things this person has done. Buy the way he took me for more than 30,000 large. My car is now being built right and I started from scratch Everything he did was S***.

I guess I've been out of the loop on terminology for too long. When I last raced, we were using DF,DP Holley Dominators not 30 pound injectors. ;-)
A "hot cam" was more than a "mild cam" but not as large as a "radical cam". Since I didn't have any specs on the cam, I just said "hot". Sorry if I mislead anyone. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the real deal soon.

And HOMEY, I OWN you.
