How about you give us the cam specs for those who don't have the magazine, also what it comes with.

Sounds like it costs a lot

Post the cost, might be just as much to get a bigger cam with all the parts required and a mail order tune.

Searched my summit book and the internet, this setup is nowhere to be found
Maybe a part # or link

Sounds like a waist of time. Why change the harness and ecu that GM spent a hell of a lot of money to develope that can handle awesome amounts of power and tuning capabilities.

Just go with a known good cam, valvetrain upgrade, and custom tuning and you'll be better off.

Would not buy that kit if i were you.
First of all with a cam upgrade its always worth it to upgrade your valvetrain. Stock doesn't cut it.
There are several kits here
http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...&vid=3&pcid=51
You would need a tune after this
With full bolts ons H/C/I you wont need a wild cam to make 400

Do you know what LSA your looking for
114 is a mild idle
112 is more of a rough idle

**camaroboy 14 02 ss** · 09-08-2009, 08:08 PM

probably 112 then what kit would u sugest might be best....????

Personally i wouldn't go off suggesting something seeing as i dont know enough about the specs to tell you what exactly you need.

My best guess for you would be the second package down with the 230/236 cam on a 112 LSA
Dont know what everyone else has to say about that one
Comes with
- Dual Patriot Gold Valvesprings and Ti Retainers
- Thunder Racing Pushrods (7.400)
- Valve Stem Seals

Talk to Frost about a tune

1500 for that other kit is insane to me

Im sorry, I am not the guy that hates on posting the "other site" web links(sometimes its just needed for another tech thread).... but linking directing to a non sponsor just bugs me when there are sponsors here who help keep this site going.

I understand where you come from. In this case the op has no idea what he wants except an hp #, and the links I provided show what he is looking for if he chooses to do some reading on the matter.

He could have went to a sponsor and we could have avoided this whole thing together-so thanks for stirring up shit op
