That vette is ridiculous, and I like the hondas that are all hitting mid 15s with slicks...

(I know, late reply but I haven't been on in awhile and I'm bored)

The GSX owner keeps teasing me that we're going to put it back on the road. I hope...my goodness I hope.

Actually I think I've got an NA performance cam laying around for one of those... it is a VX3.

Let me see how the marine specs differ. Stay with me on this.

Nice cycle stunts. I used to have so much fun back in Ks being the passenger stunt girl. Mostly just wheelies and endo's on the back or the tank, but it was fun! Only wrecked once and that was fun too!

K...my exhaust manifold is water cooled. I was wondering if cams were interchangeable too

Yeah the cams interchange. Here are some volvo cam specs.

http://www.stonis-world.net/docs/volvo_camshafts.pdf

Unless you have a sailboat with the penta as backup power, unlikely, you probably have that standard marine cam, which is pretty aggressive actually.

The alternative is a 'P' cam.

Hmm...how much a project would it be FI my motor? It would help the gph consumption too. Just filled the tank the other day $300...not sure how many boat 'tuners' there are out there...

If you'll snap some pictures of the engine bay for me, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be hard at all.

I'll dig around some. I'm 100% sure I could do it with a $300 FI parts car and $200 for misc expenses.
