Re: Factory Stockers Unite!!!
Marlin, the stock LT-1 camshaft that was in your car was a solid, with a LSA of 116 degrees and a lift of .435 I believe. If THAT cam doesn't idle like a kitten purring quietly then NO camshaft does. Or you got the wrong cam.
I didn't say blueprinting your motor would be illegal, and todays technology has certainly improved ET's over the years.
I DID say that if you are running in the 12.20's your getting tested, and if you are running better than 12.00's your car is no longer a true representation of what a "stock" factory muscle car would run. I think we both know that to be true.
==========================
Everybody wants to go faster naturally, but you can adjust the timing only so much, and only breathe on the motor so much, and tune till you are blue in the face...this does not make a 11 second stocker! Its makes a good F.A.S.T. class car though.
=====================
Remember those Mopar ads with a blueprinted/tuned Hemi Roadrunner, with Ronnie Sox driving it getting mid-low 13's out of the car??? Do you think Ronnie didn't know how to drive?? I think giving everyone till 12.00's is fair enough for some tinkering.
