Craig Cams His Vette

As you may have seen before on my blog Craig has himself a rather stout Corvette to begin with.  Though what do you add to a bolt-on and Procharged C6.  Well the answer of course is a camshaft kit!!!  We added one of our custom grind camshafts, accompanying hardware, and a Yank torque converter.  The result is a wicked hot rod!!

The Build:

Sullivan Procharged Camshaft

Dual Valve spring Kit

Chrome-Moly Pushrods

65lb Injectors

Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump

Sullivan Tuning

Yank Torque Converter

Glass Half Full

Sometimes when bad things happen there is a cloud with a silver lining.  In this case the silver lining was more  performance.  Joey had his supercharger installed by another shop a few years ago, and until now everything seemed to be fine.  I got a call from Joey informing me that he his Corvette had thrown the supercharger belt.  Since this is also the main drive belt for the engine the car was inop.   When Joey's Corvette the supercharger belt was destroyed and all knotted up behind the pulley on the Procharger.  After unraveling the tangled mess we started to see the carnage.  The supercharger belt tensioner had separated from it's housing letting the belt walk off the pulley and destroy itself.  We also noticed while removing belt debris that the power steering pump was only bolted in with on of the three bolts that mount it to the bracket!!  With the supercharger on the bench we flipped it over to see that the impeller blade had been damaged as well!  So where is the lining?  We sent the Procharger in for inspection and the repair was as much money as upgrading it from a P1SC-1 to a D1SC so this is what we did.  Now all is right in the world and the car is making more power with lower air intake temps!!

  

Buford's Bump Stick

Though Justin's G8 made some great power with the stock DOD cam in place, but the DOD lifters are not confidence inspiring.  The fix is a DOD delete, by replacing the lifters, cam, and valley cover.  Justin specked out his own cam so we will see how he did in a few days!
