My new '69 Camaro

[syborg tt]

Cudo's for sharing your build on the BB.

The Mule is the car that inspired me to get back into building cars. Every month I couldn't wait to get the new issue of PHR.

Why not defy convention and leave the exterior of the car just the way it is?

Battle-scarred hot rods are kick ass.

Is there any updates on your car Mark?

Just dynoed the LS7 Thur night. All stock with a cam that has tighter lobe seperation angle.

530 ftlbs @ 5000
546 hp @ 5900

Over 530 hp from 5300 - 6800 rpm.
Over 500 ftlb from 3800 - 5700 rpm

I want more torque and still a smooth idle. It idles rock solid at 650 rpm.

This was all with the stock exh manifolds and cal.

I'm building the induction an headers at Christmas. Once we get those parts and a cal we should be up to 570ish hp. We will go back on the engine dyno to sort it out. We just ran it Thur to break it in and make sure it was OK.

sounds like your cam thoughts were correct Mark. Is this the stock LS7 cam with lsa changes, or did you go another way?

WOW!!!
that sounds awesome. Should get a good amount more with the induction and headers. GOOD LUCK!!!

The cam is a stock LS7 lobe wth a 115 degree lobe angle instade of 121. Seems like it will work great. And it is a validated lobe that will work stock valve springs.

Why the LS-7 over an LS-9?
