Ok... I'm in a delima. Let me start by saying over a year ago I dropped in a TR224 114lsa cam in my SS vert. Well...guess what, its not fast enough. So I was going to order a set of Absolute stg. 2 heads, but I just read that Thunder is comming out with a new cam or cams that will take you over 400 rwhp with stock heads. Should I wait and see, or dive into the heads? They are on sale what to do..

Still have the cats. Little worried that one day we will do emmision testing here in my NC county. They are relocated (not in stock location), but I still should be able to pass. Right now, nobody nows if its comming or not. We may be the only county not to .
I think the cats don't flow to well, but they help keep the rasp down to a min with the gmmg

For now they only plug into '98 and newer and I have a '97. They SAY that they have no intention of chnaging but......
I don't have my original PCM in the car and then of course there is the FAST computer which is installed.
One can only imagine........ and hopefully that is ll I will have to do, imagine.

I ask because my dyno tune showed the catco cats really holding down the power - getting new carsounds installed in the next few days.

Well I'm at it again . I sent my intake and tb to Absolute Speed. The intake will receive a stage 2 port job, match intake to heads, and flow heads with ported intake to get real head flow numbers. Also the tb will be ported to 78mm and port matched to intake. All in all, they should really make some good numbers
