Thumbs up IMPRESSIVE Camswap Gains on a MagnaCharged TrailBlazer SS!

Here is a neat truck we finished up ~a week or so ago - it came in as a near-stocker and left with nearly 500RWHP! We first installed the MagnaCharger M112 and a PCMForLess E-Fan kit. The truck already had Kooks Headers & Cats on it. At 8PSI, Alvin was able to tune it to 436RWHP and 435RWTQ.

After that, we installed the PCMForLess Stealth Cam (High Lift) with a double spring kit and hardened pushrods. The results are breathtaking:


Thats right - after Alvin's tune, we ended up with 489RWHP and 469RWTQ! For those of you without your calculators handy, that is a gain of 53RWHP and 34RWTQ! The customer was just as impressed as we were - he left doing a long, smokey burnout.

For more info on the PCMForLess Stealth Cam, simply click the image above!

That cam is small in comparison to the fbody/vette world, lol but have seen nothing but good results in a heavy TBSS. 215/228 .630/.588 116 When the time comes, I'm going to get me one of their cams!

Thanks for the kind words! I didn't snap any pics or videos of the TB but it was totally blacked out - looked great and now runs great as well!

As for the cam specs:

You hit the nail on the head. One of our shop vehicles is a TBSS that used to be turbocharged. Now we've got a forged motor in it and an "attitude" cam - you ought to see the looks from people at stoplights when a lumpy idling SUV pulls up beside of them!
