Default Ordered 222/226 EPS whith dual springs,pushrods,retainers

Does anyone know what comes with the cam's from EPS Geoff told me I thought it was the Comp ones that he said but I talked to him and he said something like PEP or PI not Comp I just wanted to know if someone received a cam package from him lately and what quality was the springs and what kind?? I didn't want to call him again since I just hung up with him this morning loll I know he is very busy these days :-)

Thanks

Cam comes from comp, at least mine did. Springs I'm not sure about and pushrods are TrickFlow, if I remember correctly.

Geoff is a nice guy man, I've called him a few times and he didn't seem to mind or rush the conversation, give him a call if you have questions.

Thanks a lot,Yeah! Talking 2 him 222/226 113lsa seemed to be the ticket and he recommended the dual springs,the kit should be shipped I think Monday and yes what a great guy he is sooooo knowledgeable I know nothing about cam's I thought I did but nope lolll I just hope that I will be happy with the build Kook headers ,ls6 intake and this cam with a Yank SS3200 The car should wake up a bit :-)

I was told that Trunion upgrade was a waste but I'm not sure yet for 140 bucks if it saves me some breakdowns maybe I should just get it done while its appart ?????

Let them call it whatever they want. Most people just assume bigger better and have no other technical basis for their opinion whatsoever ... they are blind sheep following everyone else and doing what they hear is badass on the internet.

EPS lobes / cams themselves have quickly become an internet fad. I use the lobes because they work damn fine. Most people don't even know why they use what they do, other than what they can regurgitate from what someone else said on here.

That car will be fun. Its a great cam for what your intended use.... don't let the possibility of 10 more "peak" HP cause you to make a cam choice that runs like *** below 4000 RPMs. In a street car at least.

You are doing it right, don't let the cam or converter bother you. I went through the same thing with my WS6. I only ran a 216/220 cam with home style ported 241's and my full weight car ran 11.7's with drag radials and was a monster on the street cause all of the mid-range power i was making. Best wishes.

Default The car is crazy

I just got my car finally done and from 15-20 mph when you floor it it's crazy no traction on the 295's loll sideways all through 1st hit second doen't loose momentum I love it. It dynoed at 360rwhp and that is at 61-6200rpm it did get an extra 3rwhp at 6400 and 10 ft lbs of torque but I decided it wasn't enough to rev her up an extra 2000rpm for that.....unless I would run a 12.1 at the track and needed the extra to get to 11.99 lolll

Very happy motor runs very smooth and its deffinetely the best upgrade yet. It idles with a nice rumpty dump to it and the steering wheel shakes a bit with a nioce little right to left motion at the light with your foot on the brake. When you floor that baby you are just gone Its a different world
