Isn't this the car that has the YouTube vid with the IS4 cam?

Yes it is. When it was supercharged I had the IS4 in it. I kept the heads and put in an IS4 turbo cam instead. Thank you everyone for the compliments.

That video alone makes me want an IS4 cam

It was a beast and really turned some heads. This what it sounds like know with the new cam IS4 turbo cam.

This is an old vid of it running down the street a few years ago with no traction after we did the turbo build. It was a few #'s less in boost and it was me giving it right above QTR pedal. It pulls like crazy now once it gets traction.

How happy were you over all with the IS4 on the blower? Cause I am thinking of doing it myself.

I was pretty happy, until I hit the wall in what I could do supercharged wise. I have had a few cams in this car from the NIC, IS4 supercharged and now the IS4 turbo cam. I loved it in how what it gave me at that time. But, the supercharged set up left me wanting more power and that is why I went turbo. I love taking a cruise and have a Vette that pulls up and has no clue what just happened a few seconds into trying to blow me away.

It was a great cam, but to get the most out of it. I intercooled it, heads, ported work on the supercharger, LIM, and more. It was fun, but after going turbo I could never go back to what I had.

Well I am currently porting heads, and I already ported a blower and LIM. And the IS4 cam was one of the cams I was considering.


PS. Sorry for blowing up your thread. if you would rather we can do this in PMs

It's all good. Feel free to reach out to me anytime. I will say it will turn heads and will not disappoint you if you want to stay SC! ;-)

I have not seen you post in some time over on club gp. Nice to see you over here as well. Your car looks great after all these years. It's nice to see some of the long time owners still around.

Thank you very much. I still go on and see what is going on over there and post once in a blue moon. It's weird thinking I have been tinkering on this car for almost 15 years. Bought it brand new and have always loved the car. Ordering some stuff this weekend to get most of the stuff done over the next few weeks. I agree, it is nice to see some old dogs still running around since late 99's into the early 2000's.

GMPP sway bars will also be going on, and just paid for the HV3 for the L26.

Is it summer yet! I cannot wait for it to warm up. Here is a pic from awhile back getting ready for a cruise in.

That is what I thought when I started reading it. and thank you very much.

One more pic from summer. Going to replace the arrow head today or tomorrow to the black one.

Some new paint for the sway bars, calipers, and some minor engine parts. Let the fun begin.

New flat black arrow head put on. Looks mean as heck with it on.

A few more pics. Able to get the sway bars prepped a few days ago and ready to install at a later date. Also got the HV3 insert in the mail today. Getting stuff ready for the next few weeks.
