Mods include: G5X3 cam from LG Motorsports NLP underdrive pulley/damper LG lontubes(no cats) GHL catback Vararam intake/Halltech airbridge 160 stat Spec 3/aluminum flywheel 437.6 hp-396.1 tq! The car pre-cam had gone a quickest of 11.78 at 120mph with a 15mph headwind on a 1.89 60' time... At that point the car was making around 375 whp. I can't wait to see what I can get her to do now as she surely has some more top end pulling power!

My uncle what thinking of a cam and I told him that it was well worth it. You should think about getting some 3.73s or 3.90s put in. I'm predicting 11.3 to 11.6 in the 1/4 mile. Good luck with that thing and try not to light them up everywhere! Justin 1999 Ford SVT Contour (T-Red) Cardomain site

The G5X3 is in the 237-244 ballpark(exact specs are not available to the public ) and mine is on a 114 lobe, so as you can see my cam is a fair amount larger than the X1. As far as gears are concerned, the stock 3.42's are ideal for track days, and seeing as I like to make all around performers(look at my old TOUR')I do plan on keeping them. Plus, the ZO6 M12 tranny with 3.42's is comparable to the regular Vette/Camaro/Firebird's MN6 with a 3.90 rear end due to it's closer ratios... 2002 ZO6...462whp/410wtq pretty darn fast!11.70 @ 122 silver/black 2006 Trailblazer SS(wifes car) silver/black 2000 SVT-Turbo-sold silver/blue #1699/2150 13.83 @ 102.82 on 5psi 13.51 @ 107.56 on 8psi

BTW, there are big plans in the making for your old 'Tour.....VERY BIG!

(also has headers, exhaust, and K&N kit) He's run a very traction limited low 11's on just the motor. If he had found any traction he definitely would have been kicked out. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I've seen H/C cars that don't do better than that. The heads on that LS1 must have flowed pretty well. Justin 1999 Ford SVT Contour (T-Red) Cardomain site

I agree....The only other cam-only cams that can dyno that high are the T-rex, the G5X4, and the TTP Equalizer... Once you remove the heads for porting be it LS1 or LS6, usually the valves are replaced, and the heads are milled for compression which nets some serious power gains on these cars... My optimal setup on this car is/was AFR 205 heads milled for 11.25:1 comp, my current cam and an Fast manifold/90mmtb setup. This combo should net me in the 475+whp range and around 445+wtq..... 2002 ZO6...462whp/410wtq pretty darn fast!11.70 @ 122 silver/black 2006 Trailblazer SS(wifes car) silver/black 2000 SVT-Turbo-sold silver/blue #1699/2150 13.83 @ 102.82 on 5psi 13.51 @ 107.56 on 8psi
