Default What's Under the Hood?

I'm running a custom grind torque cam from Inertia. It's fed through a Vararam intake, and soon a ported throttle body. Out back I have Edelbrock headers, a Magnaflow y pipe, and a Gibson Sweptside catback. It's all controlled through a custom tuned Diablo. I also have a Viper E-fan to free up a few hp.

What are you running?

Here's a video I made during the cam install. The part you want to see is at 3:45.

Depends on what kind of cam and what you do for springs, rods, etc.

I'm running 6.1 springs with custom length pushrods. That runs up the price.

I wouldn't say it runs up the price to much, the Spartan cam or "Crazy Spartan cam" Im getting put in mine is $410, the 6.1 Springs are about $60 and the 6.1 push rods are about that as well.
