A Question For All You T-rex Owners

I wanted to hear from all those peole who have or had the trex at some time, how much do you drive your car w/ it? I know drive ability is difference w/ every person thats y I wanted to hear from people w/ first hand experience. A buddy of mine has a 99 z28 (same as me) and is a DD w/ a gx4 and i figure that cam is close to the same size as the t-rex. Mine isn't a DD more like a nice summer day / weekend toy kinda deal....ps anyone running a cutout w/ the trex, if so how does that sound? hopfuly i wil be soon.:yup:

Oh yea one other ? did u get the comp kit or did you order it with the crane kit on the thunder racing web site? if you got the crane how much lift are those springs rated for? Trex owner PLEASE chime in. Thanks again.

Any one?? :brick:

I know atleat one peron has this cam........:giveup:

im runnin the G5X3 as more of a weekend car and i have big drivability problems. I cant seem to keep my foot out of the gas now :yup: i think my car has a tune but i have no idea what was done to it. i dont think you will have any problems havin a t-rex as a DD.

maybe its not a good tune...my friends w/ the gx4 doesnt seem to give him any problems but who knows.

i was being sarcastic....its got more power now so i want to get on it more....it runs awesome with no problems at all

yea I see that lol. Im at work so i have to read/type quickly. so i didnt read it right lol I hope i have that same problem:seesaw:

Any one here w/ the trex have anything to say. I always see you guys standing by your cams. Anything?

Remember T's99BlackLs1, my car isn't a DDriver. I never intended on it being a DD, just a car that performs great at the track and gives me minimal driving issues on the street. Don't forget, peak hp numbers don't mean squatt if the driver can't get it to the ground. Look at Matt's Cobra vs Casey's SS camaro. Matt got beat and Casey has less power.

Hardest part is that everyone has a different idea of how driveable cams are.

Good tune I couldn't see those cams being too much of a problem. But it is really up to the tuner. :yup:

My G5x4 was a little tricky at first to get used to but then again I bought the car in October of 2005 parked it until June of 2006. I did my mods in Late May of 2006. So it was like trying to get use to a new car again. I only drove it in stock trim for 2 month's and put it away.

I know its not a DD I guess my option of a DD is alittle different. I wouldn't drive my camaro everyday even if it was stock. What I should of said is you drive it all summer when ever it doesn't rain pretty much. That is what I am looking to do not a ture DD but more then a weekend warrior, so I guess i'm lookin at something inbetween. I know that peek numbers mean nothinging but hey.......GO BIG OR GO HOME lol:flex:

I guess you and I are gonna have to watch out for Casey's camaro. At least that's what he's hopping.

I too am interested in the T-Rex, and would like to hear your opionions. Also, are the Comp Cams 921 springs worth the additional $245 over the Crane Cams springs?

I don't know much about crane , but I just personally preffer comp. I talked to LG when I bought my G5x4 cam and they said they basically have yet to see the comp 921's break.

yea I think its worth the extra $245 for the 921's. And dont forget about PRC's kit. its like 300for everything so your looking @ around 700 for that kit as well as the cam. And everyone that runs them seems to like them on hear.

What is PRC's kit?

I don't know the exact price but they are rated to .660" max lift.

yea its the same as 921's kit but PRC stuff, the springs are rate @ .660 lift and you get pushrods to. You can get it on texas speeds website and i am pretty sure its $300 some dollars just short of $400.

I dd A T-REX it has an awesome tune and pulls like crazy. I got all the valvetrain to go with it through thunder racing and it was from crane. I have been through 3 other cams before I went with the rex and the rex is by far the best one I have driven in.

Which cam puts out more power, the t-rex, or TSP magic stick 4?

t-rex does.

Hey can anyone tell me the specs on that Trex? I am also interested wher is the best place to get it? I kind of want a kit with all the goodies pushrods retaners locks and springs. Oh and I live in Canada any advice?

i saw king kong kill a few t-rexes

T- rex 242/248 608/612 110 you can get the cam and valvetrain from thunder racing

alright man, i had a T Rex cam with GTP stage 2+ heads before i went to the 408. that H/C setup was a monster but you better have good backup parts (springs,pushrods,etc) and not a "good" but an excellent tune. mine made 463/402 to the rear wheels on a mustang dyno. i had crain springs on ther from my last cam and i snapped em. ordered a set of comp 921s from TSP.

Even though my tune was top notch and I never had a real problem driving it on the street (weekend driver)...the cam can be a motherfucker. no more even think about driving the car unless it's all the way warmed up or you're gonna think you're in a bronc riding contest.

another thing. reguardless of what anyone says...because of the powerband with that cam do not run anything less than 4.30s if you're an M6. i had 4.10s in there and it bogged. once that cam gets into power it's awesome. i ran a friend of mine who has an m6 formula with a lunati voodoo cam and a 100 shot and i smoked the fuck out of him. the car is dogged but still on the bottle he should have held. if you do things right you'll love the cam

I didntgetthe t-rex but TR is awesome about infofor cams and I think t-rex is streetable especially for a weekend warrior.Slap a goodset of heads on the car and it could vary easily be an 11 sec car with the right gear and tune. Hell I have seen people with dd run 11.8 with t-rex, heads and gear (obviously headers and atleast ls6 intake)

Well thanks for all the input guys but I went with the LG G5X4 cam. I just ordered it today and hope to have everything installed w/ in a month.:yup:

post up numbers, video, whatever you can so we know how the reuslts turn out. :yup:

I will post up my #'s then. It should get dynoed 2 weeks after the works done so I have time to break in the gears. I would hope for close to 380 but I might not even get that w/ this ls1 intake! Yea well I will just have to wait and see.

Interested in the G4 numbers, a friend of mine has the Trex and its pretty ballsy.

Look at the dyno section, I have my G5x4 #'s posted there. I think I even have the dyno sheet. You can't miss it , I think I called it G5x4 dyno #'s.

I am going with the new ms4 cam and head package. I think I should put down about 90 more ponies with that set-up.
