Livernois Stage 2 Cam in 15' Vette

My GF's neighbor brouht his 2015 vette vert by yesterday- he just bought it.
Livernois Stage 2 cam, corsa exhaust. This thing is a RADICAL cam... dyno 600 at the crank he stated. It was LOUD and FAST... a little to radical for my taste.

Way faster than my SS, and burning a little rich IMHO. The exhaust had lots of unburnrd HC in it. I suspect no cats. Under the hood, looked stock....

Damn... now I am lookling at my PERFECTLY GOOD SS and.... want more.....sound..... HP.....

KEERIST... I'm 63 do i need more speeding tickets....????

I was painting my son's car so he had to borrow the Camaro with cam / headers, so this is one of the rare times I'm outside of the car as it starts and drives away... good god it can wake the dead... cam and a LT1 are like spam and fried rice...

Sounds like a good plan keeping stock manifolds. I did the whole enchilada on my mid-life crisis 1le and I love it but it’s not a subtle daily driver anymore. Have arh 17/8 headers to Borla s type with npp Heads cam intake 563 rwhp. It’s a riot to drive!! After the initial build with the cam and headers with factory npp i didn’t like the sound of it. Sounds unfinished and unrefined so went Borla s type and now sounds great and somewhat exotic and loud but... I think with the stock system and just do secondary cat delete and mid pipe you would have a much more livable refined sound with the cam and save about 4000.00 bucks and only be leaving about 20 hp on the table. Would definitely do ported heads and intake to go along with cam and e85
I’m running prays ported stuff and his stage 1 cam and couldn’t be happier
Good luck. Enjoy the ride!!
