OK, find someone to fund it and I'll do the RX8 instead. I like the funky rear doors. I am staying clear of your boxes, though.

In reply to novaderrik:
Car Craft did a GM stock cam shootout and the LS9 cam SCREAMS top end power in a 5.3.
They also did a nice 4.8 vs 5.3 article as well.
I'm thinking of grabbing a LS7 3-bolt cam for my build for git and shiggles . . . Just have to get a cam gear, cam sensor and newer front cover to do it.
once the 4.6 in my Disco goes pop.. I am going to consider the Chevy 4.8

yeah, that article is the reason i want to use an LS9 cam- 400ish magazine HP with a smooth, quiet idle and enough vacuum to clean the living room floor... i've found them new in box ranging from $100 up to the MSRP of $167, with Summit/Jegs coming in at about $125, if my memory is correct.

I was actually hoping to find out who the angry woman worked for.
ZOMG CAR NOISES AT PRI!?!1
The muscle truck is still my fave, loooooove how that sounds
Am I the only one who thinks Freiburger and Finnegan should be hosting Top Gear US? I'd watch it then.
Roadkill probably has more viewers than TGUS...
I thought freiburger turned them down? Seems I read the rumor somewhere?

The old 96 S10 challenger has a Super T10 and I am on the look out for a 5.3 with wiring now.

They were probably more concerned with exhaust fumes inside the convention center full of people than they were about the noise.
I'll bet the fire marshals weren't too excited about running vehicles either.
t happen to have an LS3 Hot Cam with about 30 miles on it sitting in a box along with a set of LS3 valve springs. You know, if anyone's interested. Heck, I've also got a 5.3 with LS6 heads and intake with a fairly healthy cam in it, a clutch, Corvette oil pan, F-body oil pan, Corvette headers...you guys know how to find me.
Rump rump rump...
