3) i will never own a fuddle convertor. just a new sponser that has never made a car fast. just testimonials mainly by guys that have never owned a big convertor. buy proven. buy cheap and you will buy twice. i run a yank and love it. Vigilanti are very good. TCI is solid. price is nearly the same as the fuddle and has YEARS AND YEARS of experience building good combos. end of story.
4) convertor and LT headers before cam. dont buy a cam based on dyno graphs or other stupid posts. buy a cam that works with the convertor, gearing, tuner. Trex is stupid for your needs. i assume you dont want to push that motor to 7200-7300 rpms.
there are a LOT of people in this very forums that have proven combos and are in fact moderators on ls1tech. find out WHO is replying in a post and what experience THEY have in the combination before relying on their opinion.
i am your standard nearly full weight TA (heavier than your camaro) with a medium sized cam, a couple boltons, STOCK heads, automatic with yank convertor. 340 rwhp n/a
11.6-11.7 n/a
10.9 so far on the small NX shot.
I really appreciate your opinion. But I think you're incorrect on a couple things. I never said LS1tech is the end all answer. I just use it as a guide. I take the information I get with a grain of salt. I just know that there's a lot of people on there that have used certain cam/head/stall setups and can give opinions on them.
I agree with the TREX comment. When I had my 99 WS.6 the cam had just come out and I did some reading on it. Badass cam, just too much for me.
I need to find someone with a stalled car. I've never even rode in one. Hell this is the first automatic I've ever owned. There's not many LS1 guys around here (Vero Beach).
