Is this a bad idea?

[4RE ETR]

I live in Michigan and the wife wants to go to Disneyworld. I refuse to pay $800 for airfare so I thought it would be a good idea to drive the Z down to Orlando and have Mike Norris drop a cam in it. He said it would take 3 days maximum but am I begging for trouble on the way home? It would suck real bad to break down on I75. This has to be the least likely internal engine mod to cause a problem though. It is a moderate cam so nothing too radical.

Any thoughts? Should I seek someone closer to home?

Thanks!

That's a great idea. Try to give yourself a day to drive around in Orlando before returning just in case. If something is amiss, it should show up right away.

Just my $0.02.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I drove the family down last November (8) mostly due to the fact that airfare would have been too much. Drive the Zee down, see the sites along the way there and home, enjoy the wife and Disney and your modded Zee. Bad 06 had a great idea.......drive the Zee around Florida for a day or so to check things out. Lots to see in Florida. You can visit many forum members while down there. Bill

Sounds like a great idea to me. Never would get the wife to ride with me that long in the vette.

Welcome to the forum!!!

Let one of Atlanta guys know when you are coming thru. We can always help if you need it. I would think that you would be fine.

yeh that would be a blast driving home too!

cruise around for a day before you hit the happy trails and you're fine....

Thanks for the replies. MIke suggested a 113 LSA cam. HE said it would be the best balance between power and driveability. Any thoughts on that? I forget the other specs though....I think it was 224/224 but I'm unsure of the lift.

Hell no.. That's a great idea.

It is a risk I wouldn't take if I were on a tight schedule.
