yeah no headers? and get that hypercrap off of it and get a real tune, after you do the headers that is. Headers, new exhaust and a tune will net you some real gains and probably drive much better and get better gas mileage. Look into the car and see if it has bigger injectors as well, you will probably need them along with a fuel pressure regulator to take advantage of the tune and the power that it SHOULD have. But nice purchase, id like to see some picks, and any time you want to sell the welds let me know haha

I agree…the cam OP has in there now is odd, to say the least. I had the CC503 cam in my LT1 and it ran great. Of course, I had headers on it. I had my tune done by MADZ28 from [camaroz28.com](http://camaroz28.com).

88slowmaro, same thing happen to me. I did every bolt on possible and while racing at Watkins Glen spun bearings and the motor crapped out. Had to drop a new motor in and started all over again. What do you think of that ‘airfoil’ mod?
