Finally! Cam/heads

MSU120 · 05-22-2021, 10:04 PM

Finally picked the car up from Livernois Motorsports today after having Cam/heads done. Prior to this build, the car made 589rwhp and 513rwtq with a P1SC and LT4 fuel. After heads/cam it made 707rwhp and 615rwtq. Car drives and sounds awesome.

Nice.

That is a sweet torque curve right there, congrats

Thank you. The COVID created delays were frustrating but it was worth the wait. The drivability for a “big cam” is actually shocking IMO.

Did you have pistons/rods done with cam?

No. We decided not too.

Not to be a dick or anything, but being you went with Livernois, I would suggest you get your fuel curves looked at before you run into issues. I know a few people that have had the motors blow up and Livernois wouldn't do a damn thing about it saying they messed with the car after. But it is all up to you in the end.

Between Vettes and Camaros, they put out a lot of LT1/Lt4 builds. I’ve been going there since 2009 with my G8. I suppose anything is possible.

the advise of checking fuel curve is not a bad one, since you have a dyno sheet without a fuel line.... Many if not ALL shops have nightmare stories so I always take that with a grain of salt.... however what can be proven if you take it to your own dyno and compare with what was given to you.... Specially since you decided to stay stock block
so now get accustomed to check AFR, timing and fuel pressures!!

Always have proof every time you WOT... I personally ride around with my laptop and HPT on those Mexico or track nights.
Seeing the numbers it looks like they tune a bit conservative so that might help with longevity but again always monitor on your own because when things get ugly its when you'll see who is who...

Anyway, Congrats on your new power... I know it'll be a matter of time before you'll want more... it gets addictive. :P

I understand what you’re saying….however, it’s is actually on the rich side. Prior to the final numbers; we actually hit 730 at the wheels but it was getting lean. I’m also only at 8lbs of peak boost.
