There should be! It put down 385 Rwhp already. Shooting for 425-435. The T-shirt was a great surprise. Don is a great guy. He is like Mike Phillips but for late model GM performance.
 
Lumpy cam, bet its going to sound like a Ram-Air IV from back in day!

Nice. You doing the install yourself? Good idea with the Katech chain--might as well while you are in there and it's great piece of mind.

Keep us posted with a video of how she sounds and your new dyno numbers!

Yeah I am doing the install myself. After tackling a few cam installs on my ls1 SS that I had this shouldn't be any different. I will keep you guys updated on the final numbers.

Thanks Mike. Great speaking with you the other day! Yeah in the LS motor world those numbers are a medium sized cam. It should gain power across the board everywhere not just up top. That was the goal. Wanted to have some chop, gain power across the board and to still be driveable.

I hope so. We will find out soon!!!
 
Have you heard of New Era Performance out of Rochester, NY? They do some serious work for LS engines.

Can't wait to hear yours after you install the goodies!!

Yup. I have most definitely heard of them. Don of Slowhawk performance is known but isn't very popular all over the country. He has been in the magazines a few. But if you know who he is and have had work done by him you will never go anywhere else.
 
New era performance is really good. He has gone to different countries to tune cars. The cars hanging around are unbelievable . They come from all over. He has a monitor in the waiting room so when he is doing your car you can see what he sees .
 
Nice gear. My boss has an 06 pushing over 900hp and another 06 that's completely converted to a Monaro. The newer GTO's are really nice. The interiors are great.

Now that sounds like a fun ride. I 2nd how nice the interiors are. That's what really sold me on daily driving one.
