Cam swaps in a pushrod motor are not fun
 
Do not do them if your freinds suck at cars and basicly rely on you 100% for everything. this has been the most annoying friday and saturday in my life. Never again will i help these assholes out.

I thought they were fairly easy:confused:

spike_africa 01-28-2006 10:34 AM

i would rather do a swap on a mod motor any day. Half of the damn motor is covered by the dash and firewall. this ****ing camaro sucks NEVER again damn you pushrods to hell.

foncarelli 01-28-2006 11:30 AM

Thought you were talking about a 5.0. I was like, WHAT?! LOL yes, the lt1 engines are a beeotch but the cam swaps on the ls1's are supposedly a cake walk.

spike_africa 01-29-2006 01:43 PM

no its not a lt1 is a v6 camaro, its a freind of mine it was a pain to do but the results were worth it. It sounds like a v8 till about 2,500 then you can tell, but thats not the good, the good part is the awsome amount of extra power it picked up. He is running the largest cam they make for it.

madmatt 01-29-2006 01:53 PM

Nice. Dont hear of too many v6 camaros being hopped up.

those v6 camaros are VERY peppy...

(he was a detective not patrol)

spike_africa 01-29-2006 03:25 PM

dont confuse fast with peppy its still not fast. runs low 14's.

95bstallion 01-29-2006 03:44 PM

He should of done a little head and upper/lower intake work and it would be a little quicker.

madmatt 01-29-2006 04:04 PM

LOL Spike, get him some spray and he'll run 13's

spike_africa 01-29-2006 05:17 PM

i told him he should of spend the money on a wet kit, but like most people he is scared of nitrous.

spike_africa 01-29-2006 06:58 PM
