g5x3 dyno results...
before the cam I was making 341 rwhp and 353 ft tq.
Only thing different is the g5x3 cam and 4.10 gears, new numbers are 398 rwhp and 362 ft tq :

Those #s seem low. Especially torque. I would expect that without headers maybe. Hell my minor bolt-on 02Z put down 361rwtq with 300@2500rpm. The HP increase is great though. 57hp is a nice jump for just a cam swap.

baloga41 - cam is operating great. It was tuned via ls1edit at the shop. First impression was wow this isn't that bad (as in driveability of a big cam). Then I stomped on it and my next impression was my head in my head rest
big dave - the cam specs have not been released. But I trust lou at LGMotorsports, I think he knows what he is doing

Your 4.10s really help with driveability on that size cam no doubt. I bet you can tell a big difference in mid and uptop power over the stock cam which is all that matters, not dyno numbers. That power and traction is high 11's so your looking good. I would think the torque would be higher and look a little better but every setup and car is different. It's all about being happy with your setup! Congrats.

I am never getting slicks, see very little track time, and when I do go to the track I feather the clutch (still have the stock Z06 clutch) out of the hole so I am not too worried about the gears.

I bought my car in june, and had to rebuild the trans in less than a month with only 18k. Then as soon as the trans had enough miles on it to start playing again, my rearend went. That is with 4.10 and sumitomo street tires. So be carefull, I was only making 331rwhp at the time. If nothing else have a girdle put on it.

Something else for everyone to understand.....WE LIVE IN AZ, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS 93 OCTANE GAS(91 only) So we can't raise our timing to 28-9 or 30 degrees like in other states(max i've seen here is 27 and thats pushing it). So that would be why the numbers seem a little low. Also look at the temp and humidity, not exactly dyno friendly
Edit- Nice numbers as well man

Higher elevations dont need as much octane because of the shitty density altitude.........the lower the altitude the more octane you need because the quality of the air is much better. Oh and nice hp numbers Dvst8r.

Thanks guys. Yea that is something that I forgot to mention, also take into account that this is a conservative tune. It is more for reliability and drivability than hp numbers (which I will gladly sacrifice).

I've gotten a few cam/longtube cars in the 370-380 range on 91 octane. All have cams under 232 i believe.
One of my friends has a 6.0 iron block setup with 11.0:1 comp and a 237/245/112 .590 cam. I've been able to get him to 30 degrees as well with zero knock (getting the daily driving good with a/c and all took some time though). Getting the timing up there is all about knowing what the motor wants and preventing ANY knock from occuring... well 1 degree once and a while is ok.
Cam selection plays a big role in the amount of timing. A vette I tuned had a 228/228/114 i believe. His comp was 11.2:1... with that cam and that compression it was too much for 91 octane. I tuned him and got the car running well, but I had to run the tune fat (like 12.0 a/f) during the tq peak and 12.4 everywhere else (I normally tune 12.7) just to keep the timing at a point where the car would run well. If he swapped to a larger cam with more overlap his setup would run much better. I was only able to get a MAX of 24 degrees on his setup and was down to 21 or so during the tq peak.
