OEM '04 Corvette cam specs?

09-22-2012, 07:28 PM

I'll try again ... Does anyone know where I can get complete factory GM specs on the cam in an '04 C5 auto coupe? Bone stock I was 0.2 off the IHRA D/PS index and since then I've added a cold air, tune, and drag radials on spare stock wheels. I'm heading out soon and think I'll have it covered now. However, I can't run legally in IHRA because Mr. Baker said he needs the OEM cam specs. I've tried my local GM dealer thinking they'd have a replacement cam with all the specs; looked at me funny like I was speaking Chinese. Tried emailing some folks at the factory and museum in Bowling Green; no return emails. I'd really like to start out next year running Pure Stock but until I get those numbers no luck.

You can email me at: sakaufman97@gmail.com

Thanks!

Scott

Thanks Mike but IHRA already has that. That gives the lift but since it's a Pure Stocker they also need the OEM duration, etc. I know this has to exist somewhere ... just not sure where to find it.

Ah, I gotcha. In 2001, I had bought a '95 LT-1 Camaro. Had plans at the time to run Pure Stock with is (until I got a ride driving for Billy Nees). No specs wee available. That year, I contated Gary Penn, who workd for GM and was part of, I believe, GM Performance Parts. He sent the specs in and got it OK'd for P/Stk. Not sure if Gary is still there, or who would be the one to contact at GM.

Tried calling him a couple times and it goes to voice mail. Do you happen to have an email?

Thank you. I left him a voice mail yesterday but didn't hear back. I'm sure he is a very, very busy man. I emailed him this morning so hopefully he can help me when he has time.

Thanks again!
