IIRC  
90 cams are different, 91-94 are all the same.

also, IIRC, that test made the most on 264/264 HKS combo (small 16g maybe?). The 272 had a slightly higher peak, but cost both torque and mid-range hp. The 272s aren’t necessary until the rest of the system is breathing far better than stock.

Everyone needs cams :bigok:

Jon, go search toonerz a bit. 93-94 are the most aggressive, supposedly. That isn’t to say that you’re going to make a ton more power on them, however.

I found a thread on 'Talk claiming that the intake cams are all the same, NT and turbo, and the differences are the exhaust cams.

The Lexus and the Z06 are mine, and the GVR4 obviously. The FD is one of the housemates’ cars (he also has an E39 M5). And I’ve just had a weird perv need to have a GVR4 for years. I got it for about what I pay for 3 tires on the Z06, so I really can’t complain.

The Evo replaced the GVR4. That was the top diamond star car back then.

blang blang nigga. Been working on the Vette pretty much non-stop all weekend. Just about ready for it to go through inspection, for the 3rd fucking time. 🤣

mostly just appearance stuff. it was in a mild accident which has some things screwey with the front body gaps around the headlights and trying like hell to get my god damn tailpipes to be even. Which is pointless cause as soon as it gets through inspection oxyacetaline israelite will be redoing it all anyways… but oh well…

Getting the tips even on C5s is a mother fucker, and they shift over time anyway. It’s even harder on my car cuz I have the hitch back there so I have to space the exhaust down to not vibrate against the hitch.

Gimmie a call sometime, we can talk 'vettes and 4G63ts.

Haha.

You do realize I own a Chevrolet now right? What the hell spare time do I have to talk to your ass. I have about 300 squeaks and rattles I’m trying to track down, I have to fix the holes in the rocker panels where jerkoffs tried to jack it up, CD player doesnt work, etc. etc. etc…
