What valve train componets you going to run with your cam?

Instead of buying all them mods, maybe you should invest in a bed frame? LOL j/k, I'm giving you a hard time.

P.s make your bed. :)

you know I KNEW someone would say somethin about that


Ive yet to buy 1.6 RR's (not being real picky on make), using OEM CC lifters, and Im still undecided on the springs...seems like theres a lot of options, but id rather buy something in more of a kit thats not real expensive...and everyone seems to have a different opinion on every kind of Spring!

You should just buy the LT4 hot cam kit that has everything 1.6 RR's, locks, spring, etc. Then turn around and sell the cam and go buy a cc306 maybe an 847.

I bought a LT4 HC kit for $300 with 10 miles on the setup (The guy wanted bigger), turned around and sold it right away cause some guy was looking one ASAP so I sold for $500.

So you probably could find a kit with a few thousand miles on it for $250 to $300 tops.

P.S. GOT SOCKS? lol

I hate buying used valvetrain crap, cause the cost difference isn't TOO bad over what you can buy new on a group purchase for.

BUT, one thing i will say is I don't think the springs of an LT4 cam kit can handle the lift of the CC306 or the 847 cam. i wouldn't try it, in my opinion.

That exhaust looks killer! Glad to see another one like mine was! Definitely get the converter soon, that was a .5 reduction alone if not more. Remember, Sy3500, LT4 cam kit, 3.73's, and mac headers got a full weight '97 Z down to 12.4 at whatever mph.

Bigger cam, lighter car, better exhaust setup... who knows what you'll run. Either way, I feel a Formy VS. Irish rematch about to happen :)

I saw a black LS1 SS going through SM the other day, Looked real sharp.
But we'll have to go hunts some sometime, when ever I get my car back together.

Yes I'm still with Jess, It'll be 5 years in August and we have a baby on the way. :thumbsup

Were also in the market for a T/A or SS.

Wow CONGRATS :thumbsup

Good luck on the SS. Theres a black 01 SS with 17" Chrome ZR1's for 19k in IL. Low mileage if I remeber, under 30k I think. I did a carfax tho and it was in some kind of accident. But that could be anything from a minor scratch to a total wreck/restore. It was a 6speed too.

For the price when all is said and done it'll just about cost as much as a LS1... Though it would be a nice sleeper...

GTSLOW
02-15-2006, 05:42 PM
ah

Well just makesure you get one with a 6speed :thumbsup There's ALOT of A4's out there that were very tempting. The prices on some of them compared to a similar M6 is amazing! I guess the demand for an M6 right now is alot higher.

Plus you can run a nice cam and still get good gas mileage as with a high stall converter your mileage suffers.

LT4 springs can not do much over the LT4 cam. (.550 I believe is the spec.)

I wouldn't get the LT4 cam kit. I would buy everything outright and get what you want the first time. I bought the kit, and sold everything but the cam, I put the LT4 cam in when everyone was still afraid to go bigger in a street car.

An M6 is what my next car will be.... Man I miss my M6 LT1 that thing kicked arse. Oh well what are you going to do....

Ive seen an LS1 Ws6 going for 10k the miles were kinda high and the price made me wonder.

i got my Z w/ 115k miles on it after all was said and done in the 6g's range :) It was an M6, t-tops, leather, clean car, haha. Depends on what you want, I could care less about mileage cause nothing is the same but the body panels now.

Dam man I'm sorry to hear that. What kind of vette are you lookin at?

I'd wait it out till after the surgery and get a 6speed! :thumbsup

I have to keep kinda quiet about the vette for now, but it will be an upgrade from the TA. As far as the knee I had a telephone pole fall on it while I was at work (for we energies) It crushed the cartilage in my knee and destroyed my knee track and flattened the arch in my foot.
