I remember back in my 01GT days, it took a set of heads, cam and gear to stay door to door to an SS. Fast cars.
wow....2001 seems like it was just last week. the new GT's are no joke for sure now!

no I believe some did but it was the SLP upgrade option in the auto's which were only in the SS's.
most likely the car had 2.73's as thats what 75% of the auto's came with.
was it 2.73's? i thought it was 3.23's? and then the M6 got the 3.42's?
thank u and thats what he said it was at but it wasn't a bolt on car tho i seen under the hood it doesn't even have a lid he said it had a cam only car no exhaust or anything but idk tho bc he wouldn't start the car up and let it idle so i could hear if it was cammed maybe this weekend i will get the chance to hear it

people dont cam these cars without atleast long tubes...
with a cam thats anything other then the Cheatr cam, having stock exhaust manifolds/intake would actually hurt
"Cam only" is a pretty loose term in the F-Body world. People have different definitions.. My friend has a "Cam only" Z28 in the 10's.. And you sure as hell arent getting there with just a cam alone. "Cam only" setups can have FULL bolt-ons. Meaning headers, exhaust, suspension mods, lid/CAI, TB, intake, tune, tires, etc.
I can almost guatantee you he did NOT have a aftermarket cam in there from the outcome of your race, even if he was a bad driver. Thats what a stock F-body will do. Bolt-on F-body's are a good race with stock 03/04 cobra's. Cammed/bolt-on LS1's can take down pullied cobra's, which should be low 12's and high 11's. The guy is full of shit. Ask what cam he has and what the specs on it are.

depending on the LSA (lobe separation) you could have a cammed LS1 and not even hear it. you can get a pretty decent duration (like a 224/224) pick up a solid 22rwhp on top of what the exhaust would give you; get the cam with a 114 LSA and you would'nt hear any trace of a cam through the exhaust.
when the engine idles, it would sound healthy without the sputter of a cammed car.
ehhh you can still pick up a decent lope on a 114 LSA....they are deadly quiet when they are 116-118lsa
Mine is 112lsa but I love the nasty idle a good cammed car has.

yea I think ur right. what's factory? 116?
I had a comp cams xtreme energy cam 228/230 with a 572 lift. my lsa was a 108. its sounded so mean at idle. sometimes it felt like it was gonna stall.
Sorry fellas but LSA doesn't dictate the "lope". Overlap does. Overlap can be somewhat negated or increased via the LSA as it increases/decreases valve events a little but it has more to do with the intake/exhaust duration/valve events.
this is news to me. :??:
when purchasing a cam i was always asked by the sales rep at Summit what idle was i going for. something hardly noticeable (114+ LSA) or something wicked (112-108LSA)
never heard anyone mentioning overlap when selecting idle...unless Summit techs arent as good as i thought as they were..
