They will work on any CL/TL motor for the 99-03 model J32 motor. I just wanted to stir up some shit with you boys. Well, the cat is out of the bag so they are from CleanCL and Josh at Excelerate. I am not allowed to give any specs or pricing since I am the tester for the cams. Its that simple. I cant talk about it unless they authorize me to! I am going back to the dyno this afternoon or in the morning for normal aspiration and supercharged pulls with the new cams. I hope to see at least 10hp NA and hopefully 20hp with the blower. Who knows. It just started pouring rain and I had to stop for a bit. Pray for big gains boys!!!! Jim
nice job bro!

It did there but you have to keep in mind it was 101F in the dymo booth with 18-20% humidity with almost a 10:1 AF ratio. If you dont know anything about thermodynamics, those are about the worst possible conditions to show power. the difference would be about 15-25 hp more with 75F and no humidity.

Well boys, the work is done! I have been letting the ECU, "The Learning Computer"(Terminator movie joke), adjust and it feels much stronger in on the top end with the new cam. I am going to do another valve adjustment and go to the dyno asap. I am running normally aspirated right now and I can tell you that there must be a gain from the ass dyno. What, I dont know. I will not put the blower back on until I am on the dyno so we will see then. I will be going back Monday or Tuesday. Wish me luck. Have a great 4th!

Awesome work indeed! Thanks for the helpful details and pictures. Sure wish you felt like vacationing in south florida! I sure need some work done and am close to forcing myself to do it myself.

u dont need to take the heads off to take off the runners. i just took off some runners and put them on last weekend. u need to remove the two studs that are in the runners on the front of the engine. replace them with bolts later on. save a lot of time and money.
