Well here's my max effort at going after the cam only record that has been standing for sometime now. My goal is to have a 2700lb raceweight. The car will be recieving percy's lexan both front/rear and the Burkhart manual brake kit. Free weight reduction will include: I cut the extra metal on the cowl area flush to the windshield,the brackets where the hood shocks attatch got chopped off,and the door bars were removed. As far as the make over, the car is in the process of getting painted. The condition of the paint wasn't so good and the dent got pretty annoying. Sorry you can't refer to it as the "wax car" anymore :moon: I'm doing all of the prep work myself and a friend of mine at the body shop will be priming and painting everything in a booth(all ppg materials). So yeah this bitch will have a new look and weigh a bit less. Anyway here are some pictures of the progess, enjoy:chug:. Sorry the shop seems a bit cluttered.

The windshield removal tool was well worth the $19.

I've been wetsanding for the last 2 days. The jams are going to be painted tuesday, as well as the inside of the engine bay, doors, and hatch. Then I will put the car back together so we can spray the whole exterrior in one day.
Heres a few progress pics:

Are there any rules of what you can do to the car?
Aside from the cam, what other engine components can you change?
What is the current record for this class?

As far as I know Cam-Only means in addition to the "bolt on" rules (which basically say you can't swap any engine parts that touch oil), it allows for the cam swap and related valvetrain upgrades (new springs / locks / etc).

Bottom end must be bone stock. No porting, milling heads etc. As Tru2Chevy pointed out updated valve springs are allowed. Some people on the top 10 list have run such a large cam that flycutting the pistons were needed. But for my cam choice flycutting is not needed. The current record is 10.219@132.29 through a m6 that was set back in march of 2006. Back in December I tripped the beams in my car and trapped 131 at something like 14 seconds lol The day my motor blew up I ran 10.35@127 so the potential is there. FWIW my old motor probably had 30 dyno pulls and 60 passes on it spinning to 7200 rpms.

So you could blueprint the pooh out of the stock short block and the components, you just can't swap them out for lighter/stronger parts? What about overbore? Just a hone and re-ring or is some small amount of overbore permitted?

Color looks good, even though I don't car too much for blue, that shade looks good against the black top. Nice.

IT has to be a stock UNTOUCHED longblock. besides cam, springs and such

So fly-cutting pistons would be a NO NO?

I'm asking because I remember reading a pretty heated thread over on LS1Tech about this and there was confusion over what a "stock" shortblock should be defined as. I am not really sure if an agreed upon definition was ever put forth. Some guys seemed to think untouched means untouched, period. While others seemed to think that it allowed for blueprinting and similar type tricks, but utilizing all the original factory parts and the spec'd dimensions.

The #2 car on the list has flycut, but with the cam we are using there is no need to flycut.
However slowly becoming to look like a car again :D
