    Dumb question, when installing a cam can you knock cam bearings out of whack if you hit them with the lobes of a camshaft?

    • @CamaroRick
      @CamaroRick  2 года назад +2

      You would have to really wack it with a hammer to move them. More concerned about gouging them with a sharp edge of a cam lobe

    Is that considered a street cam and setup or a drag race setup? Is it durable and have good driveability?

    • @CamaroRick
      @CamaroRick  4 года назад +2

      With an auto and 3600 stall its pretty driveable. Id call it a street and strip cam. A manual it would buck a little around 1000rpm but its something you would learn how to drive around it.

    Which corvette would you recommend the c5 or c6?

    • @CamaroRick
      @CamaroRick  4 года назад +4

      C5's are the best for value but if you have the money a C6 would be a better option stock vs stock for the updates to the engine, transmission, differential, lights, interior trim etc. The suspension and powertrain layout on both are pretty much identical. Visually I love the clean look of the popup headlight C5. They have a better drag coefficient. I love the sharp aggressive angles on the C6 also. Both are a great bargain.
