LOL sounds like we are going to have some fun this summer

Nice. What are the cam specs?

248/254 .615"/.622"

http://texas-speed.com/p-1155-texas-speed-texas-giant-248254-615622-camshaft.aspx

It's big

This summer is going to be sick!!
I wish it was big..lol...
Well from reading it will only work with 400+ cubes
And I'm only staying at 370
So it looks like I'm going to get the 244/248 .612/.615 on a 112 LSA.
Unless I can find something else or do a custom grind with a little more lift to it on a 111 LSA. I'm going to call I a few days an ask them what to do.

I would talk to Patrick G and have him custom spec you a cam. Get the EPS lobes, they are easier on the valve train from what I hear and are amazing cams. I have one sitting in my room waiting to go in when I have the money.

I would like to but I'm trying to get a package deal from Texas speed. They do make awesome power and I told Todd if I was getting a cam I would go with EPS. So I'm sure he's going ( what a dumbass )...lol

Maybe they will do a custom grind for you. :dunno:

What are your specs? And you just using it for a smack around tool for right now?..lol

i think tsp will thro in a custom cam in your package deal...have fun drivin that beast on the street! i started mine up recently and it felt good to hear her chop lol

i cannot wait to be modded. im going from stock to 243's,raptr cam,an intake idk what yet, full exhaust,racetronix pump and Tuned by april. BIG change. proper suspension as well and trans and clutch.

Happy modding

Thanks joe! It will be fun.:)..
Yeah it will be a big change for me too. I'm just about stock as well..lol

Will that be for the camaro or the g8

Contact Pat G and get a custom grind EPS cam. Texas Speed won't be saving you that much money. You might save $50-100 with a package. You will net better gains by going with EPS. Spend the extra few bucks.

There cam package is 116$ more then a TSP cam package. If all fails then ill go with EPS. TSP is trying to get me to get a smaller cam then I want. We will see.

Thats a huge cam for stock cubes. Are you going to be running 4:10s? What kind of compression/heads? Your cam is close to the same size as mine dude.

AES built my 427 and I had them spec a cam for me.

Lunati Voodoo 243/255 .651/.651 112+2

I know lol I want a big cam. But I'm probably going with the 242/248 .608-.612 on a 112 LSA.
Using 5.3 heads P/P that should put me at around 11.5-1

Whats a $116 when you are spending all the time and energy by building it from the ground up? For that extra $116, you will get a more quality cam and more HP/TRQ. Whatever floats your boat I guess. And with that big of a cam, the guys running smaller cams with better power under the curve are gonna pull on you in the low/mid range. You are going to have to spin it to the moon to make power.

Ok so what can I do to have that super choppy sound?

Ok so what can I do to have that super choppy sound?

theres more to a cam then just a choppy sound man. we all like how the sound but, you can stick the biggest, baddest cam in there, and it will run like dog shit with cubes, compression, and gears.

or pick up a decent set of heads and a mild cam and be able to enjoy the car.

Tick makes a "choppy" cam thats designed for a stock cube/stock head ls1.

(24x/24x (.61x"/.61x") 112LSA)

http://www.tick-performance.com/catalog/ls1fbody/valvetrain/

They got a lil over 400whp with stock heads/ls6 intake.

Nothing against TSP at all. I just think that giant cam and 5.3 heads would be a bad match. I believe TSP made good numbers with their tsunmai cam and 5.3 heads as well.

Im not trying to bash you at all man, so dont take it that way. But your wanting to put a cam in thats damn near the same size as mine and your not gonna have the cubes or air flow to take advantage of it. your gonna do more harm then good just to get that "chop" sound.

And with that big of a cam, the guys running smaller cams with better power under the curve are gonna pull on you in the low/mid range. You are going to have top spin it to the moon to make power.

ditto. specially with stock cubes. hes gonna need 4:10-4:56s to make that cam work.

Give Geoff with EPS a call. It almost sounds from your last post that you care more about how it's going to sound rather than how it's going to perform. I seriously doubt you will like that TSP cam. Even they are trying to get you to tone it down some. With all the time and $$$ spent on this build, I think you would benifit from talking to Geoff or Pat. They both have all the answers to your questions and will steer you towards a cam that will better suite your build.

Plus you like to Tokyo drift your car, so you will want a cam that makes good power under the curve and doesn't require revving to the moon to ensure pulling good speed through the drifts ;)

No hard feelings guys.:)... I like all the input. Just stuck right now..lol

Torquer 3 for the win=) makes good power and sounds good.

Awesome cam. I would run that one over that TSP cam all day.

Cam does sound pretty good tim!
Well I think I will go with the EPS I'm just waiting to hear back from them.
I just get so excited when this time comes. I just want me to be happy with the performance and sound.

Will that be for the camaro or the g8

It's for the camaro

It's for the camaro

Nice man what are he specs on it? Didn't u already have a cam like a 224 or something in it? Assuming just going bigger and eps lobes?

If I remember correctly Goldy's cam was ground by Oregon Cam who is located in Washington and it's a 226/232 or 234...similar to mine.

Tims Torquer 3 was done by OCG, and they have a fairly extensive lobe library for the LS engines. About 40-50 lobes to choose from, maybe more. I think Tom uses them a lot.

Mike

This is the bumpstick Im tryin to roll this summer!! :corn:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy37dfVY3BM

That thing beastie! What and when you goin to get done to your car Phil?

That cam and 4.10's! I should make about 360rwhp which is exactly what I want! I just need somebody that love fbodies to help me put it in! I thought I had someone to do it but they vanished lol :secret2:

But didn't you say your motor is just about tits up?

No its fine, just needs a fresh valvetrain!

Oh Ok good!!

Mine is a Pat G cam that Oregon Cam Grinders ground. It's 224/230 .605/.612 113+2lsa.

The new cam is for an LS3 I have sitting in the garage.

Yeah, Tom had mentioned them a few times during previous conversations. I didn't know Tim had his cam done there. Interesting.

When is that LS3 going in? What are the cam specs?

When did you pull that motor out of your ass??..lol
And yes, cam specs sucka!

The love seperation is what makes it sound choppy...take my cam for instance 235/240 111 lsa tsunami it sounds crazy Good and its on the small side of a large cam

Lobe seperation lol

Hell if u had a 110 lsa on a 220 cam it would sound as mean as that Texas giant

Yeah your cam is pretty good man. Some guy with a 370 fast 92/92 set up that cam PRC 237's heads and he made 509whp!

Damn Thats pretty nice, wish i was making that kinda powa lol

Get a 6.0L:)

Where did ya get the ls3? What are details on it and the cam? Any plans with your old ls1 when you swap it?

TJ Wong gave me the block, my old ls1 will sit in the garage till I decide what to put it in, my dad has a 65 GMC truck I might try and put it in.

238/246 .604”/.615” 115LSA +2 advance

Damn just gave it to you!! What a nice guy. You sure you didn't have to give him a blumppy for it?..lol just playing:D... Nice cam but why on a 115+2. You don't like the choppy idle?

Just talked to Jeff from EPS. Pretty nice guy!

I think gold has plans for boost which is the reason for the 115+2 lsa

yeah i want to add a sc at some point.

Just talked to Jeff from EPS. Pretty nice guy!

It's Geoff ;)

He is a really nice guy and has plenty of knowledge to pass down. So did he suggest a cam for your set up?

No not yet. He told me to send him a email on what I'm doing. Now I'm just waiting to hear back from him.

yeah i want to add a sc at some point.

what u gonna go with? i say F1SC

Well I got an email back from Geoff. And I think I will be happy with what he brought to the table:D

so whats are the specs

Not quite yet guys it's still in the works. I don't want to say what he told me and then it turn out to be something else if you know what I mean.

Whatever he comes up with will rip it up and out perform that TSP cam.

Lol I've been doing the research and they are always just a little better then most:) I've made my choice and going with EPS.

Good choice dude! :corn:

your secret is safe with me.

Lol sweet! Hey thanks again man! I'm pretty stoked about this and I'm sure I'll be happy.

Dejatoris runs Geoff's website. :thumb: I should say SHE runs his website...:lol:

Oh crap!! I'm sorry.

I don't think you made it to lunch when we all ate at the Claim Jumper. You had no way of knowing. :thumb:

I Did!

Is it odd that you can't get somewhat of a price break when you're buying almost 6,100$ worth of stuff?

Depends what the mark up is. Going directly through Callies it would still cost just over 2k for my rods, crank, and pistons. I have found them online through retailers for 2100 and 2200. So they might not be making all that much money.

you need an upgraded valvetrain? or anyone else?

I have TEA .650 springs/retainers in my L92s right now. my lunati cam is .651 lift. decided to upgrade to prc .675 springs just to be safe. Also going to have the L92s CNC'd.

so Ill have my .650 springs/retainers forsale. The were only installed in the heads. Never ran. Zero run time. Been sitting in the garage.

Figured Id give the NW section 1st dibs.

How much?

I understand. Just sucks..lol
Also the TB is a PTM

How much?

Well 220-250 is what they go for new. 200 is what their going for used on here. so how about 180?

can either meet in eugene for lunch or something sometime. or ill throw it in a flat right box.

I purchased a brand new Callies Dragon Slayer through Flatlanderracing.com about 9 years ago. Nobody could touch their prices on Callies stuff. Not sure if they can still do that kind of pricing or not. Also, if you know your bob weight you can order it pre-balanced for the same price. Nice feature and would save someone 150-200 on balancing.

Mike

I just checked them out Mike and they are more on the rods atleast. I guess TSP does have the best pricing around.

Not going to need to. But going to defiantly check though..lol

you sure? thats a pretty big cam lots of lift too

I email him to just to make sure but I'm sure with everything that he knows that I'm doing he wouldn't sell me a cam that's going to cause issues.
