New 10 in Tx

[slinkypete]

I recently bought my 10 and joined the VTCOA. I've ask a couple of questions and the members here are quick to help. I appreciate that a lot. Carfax says my RC '06 10 came from GA originally. I purchased it from a 69 year old gentleman in NJ. It's got right under 30.000 miles on it and totally stock. I did put a CAI on it. I was thinking about selling it to buy a used Viper car but I called that off and started planning mods for my truck. I sent my pcm to the viper store in FL for a reprogram for my 93 octane build. I've a custom Comp Cam coming with 224 and 230 @ .050 ground on a 114 degree lobe spread. I'll have some Diamond pistons .005 over 10 to 1, good rods, valve springs, bearings, etc. by the end of the month. I'll be doing everything at my shop in Beaumont TX and can post pics of the machine work and assembly. I found out there are over 30 VTCOA 10's in TX and would like to invite them to visit if they are ever near Beaumont. I'm about 80 miles from Houston. Thanks, Mark

Welcome to the RBC!!:rock:

You might want to think about doing some head work also.:dontknow:Just swapping the cam won't yield you very much. I done just a cam swap like that and might have picked up 20rwhp. Just a suggestion

Whats up!! From houston area as well. North (woodlands area).

 

[slinkypete]

Yea, you're right. I'll do a high performance valve job, minimum surface of less than .005, and some port work and there's free beer after 5pm.

The Woodlands are cool, I saw Rodger Waters when he did his in the flesh tour at the pavilion back around 2000.

I have been in Beaumont/Pot Arthur many times at the Motiva plant and Valero.

My cam cam in a couple of days a go. I should my pcm back from the viper store any day. Compstar rods are on the brown truck from Roe Racing. The pistons will take a couple of weeks. I also have the PAC 1283-20 springs. I'm starting to get a little excited.
