After all the pushing from Jason and Shane we finally put a cam in Jessica's car Saturday. The cam is a TR218/218 .553/.553 114lsa. We wanted something small and stealth and the results were a little better then I expeted. The car picked up about 25-30rwhp across the board and about 40rwhp on the top end. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> All runs were made through an unlocked Vig3200. We did spray the TNT 100 shot to the tune of 481 peak rwhp but it was way too lean. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Time for a fuel pump before any more nitrous goes through it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

This cam is just a TR220 cam that was ground just a little small. Instead of ditching it I thought I give it a try.

I wish my car would idle good at 800 rpm. Good choice Paul. I am sure the wifey is satisfied.

Cool man. I make the same numbers with a cartek 218/222 .562 .562 cam and a viggie 3200 converter with 3.42 gears. I have SLP longtube headers, Dr. Gas X-pipe, LS6 intake. I haven't perfected out the A/f though on a dyno, it's running rich up top with the MAFT max out on leaning it out on WOT.

I have no idea what it makes on the spray though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks Guys. I thought about doing the LS6 intake but I'm sure we are going to selling the car soon so I didn't want to put too much more money into it.

Paul,
Is that 218/218 a cam we can buy? Or is it something you just wanted to try?

Thanks,
Den

That would be a real nice set up with a good set of stage 1 heads and ls6 intake.

Great improvement for a stealth cam!

Why does the HP peak at such a high RPM?
With that cam size I would have thought peak HP would have been around 6200rpm.

John</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The dyno graph for HP vs. RPMs is not correct. For some reason the graph always prints out with higher rpms with A4 converter cars. I'm talking to Dyno-Jet about this now. The rev limiter is set for 6600rpms and I never hit that on the dyno. I spun the car to about 6500-6600.Cam should be peaking about 6000-6200.
