So I think after a LOT of searching and reading, this cam is really what I am looking for. I found a couple clips of this cam on a 112 LSA and it sounds awesome. I can't seem to find any numbers on it though. Here is what my mods will be:
2000 Z28-M6
Longtubes
True duals dumped
Lid
P&P Throttle Body
LS6 intake
Tune

What do you all think this will put down? I'm really wanting to get to 400 RWHP- do you all think thats possible without any head work and with just an LS6 intake?

PS- if you have any soundclips of this cam, lets hear it!!

How tuff was it to tune?

Hmmm.... that makes me even more excited to get this cam. My main goal is 400 RWHP. I know I can easily get that with any huge off the shelf cam, but I only visit the track a few times a year and don't like spinning my stock bottom end TOO high. I think this cam will really suit me well, as well as provide really good power up top too.

PDD- do you have the advance ground into your cam or did you use an adjustable timing chain? I was reading a thread with this debate last night.

Hey 97 Mystic Z.

Well, I am obviously biased as I have ran 3 different cams over the years, and this is my favorite. I really like the powerband.

It does seem to really perk up in combinations with higher compression heads.

Seems like with your mods, you will hit your goal easily.

Tons of debate on the tuning. If you have access to a good tuner, 10 degrees of overlap is very doable.

While I don't have a sound clip, I can assure you it has a very nice lope/chop. Seems just right for me, but I do have GMMG and cats. Yours would be very interesting with true duals dumped!

Good luck. Let us know how it goes..

I will also be getting some heads in the future... but that is down the road. I'm super excited about this. It should be in before summer- would be sooner but I just dumped a lot of money on QA1's, TTII's, SS spoiler, lid, and some other little things. My headers/true duals are coming and then I need to save a little for the cam and everything else needed.

I talked to Patrick G and he said that a 230/230 .592/.592 110LSA would make even a little more power, but he didn't tell me if thats more peak power, or a little more all across the board power... anyone know?

I have been doing a lot of research on this cam as well and i think im going to purchase it this week along with the sopporting mods (seals, timing chain, so on.). I already have full bolt ons, free mods, stall, and tranny cooler so im ready to go. I had a 228r in my 98SS and liked it alot but, for my 02SS, and my second cam im going bigger. This seems too be tha case for most everybody when they do a second cam. So i think this cam is going to be just right for me. Plus down tha road im going to go with heads either 205 AFR's or the 215 Trick flows.

i have a cam almost exact to what your looking at, G5X1 228/232 .588 .574 but mine is 114lsa...

i've had it in for about 4k miles, and i am completely satisfied with it, the idle is just how i wanted it, and it makes great power up top without sacrificing too much mid range power.

Does anybody have any info on the 230/230 .592/.592 110LSA compared to the 228/232 .588/.592 110LSA???

T|A

well, i'm no expert but i don't think that it would be too much different, i believe it will sound almost identical at idle, i forgot the overlap formula, but if you search for it, it uses the duration as well as a few other things to find how many degrees of overlap the cam will have, which defines the lope... that might be a helpful tool to you.

also, if you plan on running nitrous, i have been told that larger duration splits are better for nitrous applications.

Perhaps Patrick G will comment on the 230/230 110.

Perhaps carry your peak power a little longer (higher). You will really have an open exhaust, so perhaps you don't need the dual pattern as much.

I know my 228/232 110+2 peaks ~5950rpm..carries to 6350 before starting to tail off...For some that might not be high enough in the power band.

Perhaps someone with more cam expertise will comment.

I think in any case, you'll see 400rwhp (or more).

im not tuned as of yet with this cam

yes i had the +1 ground in and lined my timing chain sprocket and crank sprocket dot to dot. i degreed it in and it came out perfect. i do have an adjustable dual roller timing chain but it doesnt increase in 1 degree intervals, so i had it ground +1 for my personal valve events and DCR. i still have to put my 6 piston wilwoods on the car, wire my new 200 amp alt and make a better amp rack for my two amps than i have now before the car gets back on the road and to the dyno i also might put a chrome power steering bracket and idler on the car for a little more bling. so the car may have to wait another month or so for a dyno and im going to mexico next week. senior frogs here i come

Hey man, I have a 228/232 on a 110+1 on order right now. I'm also running the pretty much same boltons as you except my duals exit out the rear. Send me a pm in a month and I'll let you know how it does. It's a on a 99' m6 z28 fyi.

How good of a DD cam is 228/232

T|A

i DD my car with it, i love it... haven't tuned it yet and it doesn't die out, it will jump RPM's and sometimes die out on a cold start up on a cold morning, but once it warms up it finds idle and stays there for good, even after a nice rev. (check vid in sig)

also the car does buck alittle cruising below 2k rpm in 1st or 2nd, only when cold, as stated above, once it warms up it will cruise smooth as can be at any rpm level in any gear.

when i have my cutout closed, (mac MT's, ORY, hooker catback) the car sounds stock from inside the car, can't hear it idle, and seems very quiet on the inside, although it is quite loud from the outside, i found out by letting my friend drive my car

with the cutout open, it really lopes hard, and rattles stuff inside the car and is very loud outside lol, which is exactly what i was looking for, the option to be loud as hell, or extremely quiet with great street manners.

again, check sig videos for examples

Thanks for all the comments guys. Still looking for info on the 230/230 .592/.592 110LSA compared to the 228/232 .588/.592 110LSA.
I tried searching but can't come up with anything for the 230/230...

I know they will idle the same because of the same overlap. And to respond to an earlier post I don't plan on running nitrous.

227/232, .639/.592 111+2

227/232 .639/.592 111+2.

Wow, now that sounds interesting!

Would take your powerband up a little, with great lift.

Sounds like your real close to your selection.. Will be interesting to see your your results. Let us know how it goes..

Good luck!..
