Default LS6 CTS-V Dyno - Bolt-ons and Patrick G custom grind

We installed the same cam I have in my car in my buddy's 04 CTS-V this past weekend. It's Pat G's 231/235 .617/.620 112+4 cam.

With bolt ons (intake, headers, ported TB, pulley) and the cam, through a press bent shitty 2.5" exhaust and quiet mufflers, the car put down 426rwhp / 394rwtq on a DynoJet.

I'll get the graph up later and hopefully a video. Driveability is like stock and the thing pulls like a raped ape.

Nice combo. If he had your exhaust and lighter flywheel, I bet the numbers would be near identical. Great report.

Just FYI, the car does not have the CTS-V flywheel. He just installed the full LS7 clutch setup.

We're both very happy with your cam. Next post will show my dyno, his dyno, and his dyno compared to our friend's MS4'd C5 Z06.

My Z06 w/Pat G Custom grind:




CTS-V w/Pat G Custom grind:




Z06 with MS4 compared to CTS-V: (look at how much more usable power the Pat G cam has!)

That's a lot more power under the curve. Thanks for posting the dyno overlay. The difference in mid-range torque really put things in perspective.

Wow, very nice results. I like the comparison with the Z06 MS4 graph.

Looks great! I'm putting in a VERY similar Patrick G spec'ed cam next month with some AFR 205's...now I can't wait! Are these the LSL lobes?

The reason I asked is because it looks like it made great power. So I was wondering how close the cam was to what patrick spec'd it at.

That's why I asked if they degreed it to see if it was dead on dot to dot or if they had to make correction. So since they didn't I asked if the cam was cam doctored as in did somebody mic it to see if everything was dead on what it was suppost to be.

I was just curious,
Thanks

Sorry, didn't know what a cam doctor was until now. Nope, we just took it out of the box and threw it in.

Yes, you read correctly. I THREW the ******* thing in. Smashed up all the bearings and lobes; that's the key to making good power.

Great power and even better torque!

The cam I currently have in my cam only 2002 Z28 is a 230/236 .551/.551 @ 112+2. My car made 420/374 through the stock driveshaft, 3.73 10-bolt, no cats, and stock 16x8 wheels. Since then I installed a March UD pulley, 3.5 DS, 4.10 Moser 12-bolt, 17x9 chrome wheels, high flow cats, and N2O tune and put down 400/363.

After watching the dyno section for a while now I'm thinking about upgrading my cam. I was going to just get 1.8 rockers, but the cam would probably be about the same price in total and I want to replace my springs anyway (they've been on for over 3 hard years now). Any guess on whether or not a cam like the one here would be a good way to go for my setup?

Wow, I like the power that V made for such basic mods.
