Talking New TSP cam installed: 432 rwhp/391tq

Just had TSP install their new 242/248, .625, 114 LSA cam in my LS6 crate motor with PRC Gold Springs/hardened pushrods. (Graph will be posted by TSP in the Dyno section, sound clip to come very soon... )

Prior mods:
GM LS6 crate engine
Pacesetter coated headers
TSP True Duals
TSP Lid with K&N filter
Free mods
Ram HD clutch
BMR SFC's/LCA
!cags

Results: A very nasty and wicked exhaust note (absolutely LOVE the lope and rumble, this is exactly what a cam should sound like IMO), 432 rwhp, 390.9 tq. This was an increase from 390 rwhp stock with the above mods. Drives excellent, no problems at all, very responsive with no surging or other cam related issues. Just got on it on the way home and am very impressed, may need to carry tissue with me in the future to clean up after myself......

Soon to come: TB and pully, PRC heads.

TSP = Excellent customer service and products! (I still think this cam should be named the "Tommy Lee", "Donkey Punch", "Fat Bastard" or "Dirty Sanchez"..... )

I'm sticking one of those along with a set of PRC heads on the "dyno *****" next week. I'm hoping to make some good numbers with it.

I plan to use use my LS6 heads, port and polish them with larger valves, clean them up a bit and have them flow tested, etc...or possibly try some of the PRC heads coming out. Those seem to be flowing very well and the price is pretty good. Freddie at TSP seems to be a very competent tech.

Currently I have the stock 10 with 3:42's, about to order a 9" from Driveline Solutions with 4:11's/detroit locker, torque arm, and delete the ABS.

Driveability is not a problem with this cam at all but some 4:11's would definetluy allow the power to be used and enjoyed.

I'm going to make a video this afternoon and try and post it up.

Correct sir, this cam was installed with no flycutting at all. The motor is an LS6/ZO6 crate engine from GM

i'd really like to see the dyno graph. appears that cam is similar to the x3, with the exception of more lift (obviously).
