+63.5 rwhp and 25.7 rwtq gain, with plenty of power under the curve. Ed, you keep posting results like this and people are going to think you know a thing or two about tuning. Can you say anything about the cam ?? SPECS, or ballpark anyways ??

Nice torque 380 rwtq or better from 3000 to 6500 rpms !!!!

Great numbers. Those 08's really make the power.

Thanks guys.
All the LS3 cams we're using are sub 230 intake lobes. Thats about all I'll say. We're working on developing our own lobes. Not catalog spec stuff, but proprietary. Theres only so much you can fit in these LS3s without compromising PTV.

Thanks for the props. I guess somebody thinks I can tune. I'm in Europe tuning Vettes for the third time in a year. LOL

Nice perk of the job.

I thought there was quite a bit of clearance with the ls3 heads. I guess I heard/read wrong on that one.

Now when you say proprietary lobe, you are actually trying to design something that no one else has ?? That's awesome, and yes ED there are a lot of people that not only think you can tune, but also know you can tune (all your happy customers) >>>>

Really really nice. A good friend from out of town just got an 08 C6 and let me take it out and flog on it quite a bit. Even bone stock the car felt much faster than I expected...

Good work Ed.

ED,

Stock exhaust & intake, or exhaust and cold air intake?

If thats stock exhaust, it makes me want to try the stock one shipped with LS3 480HP crate motor.

Headers and CAI. The before numbers were with the headers and CAI and a tune. The only changes were the cam, springs and UD pulley.

We fit a 236/244 with 600. lift with zero PTV issues. We still had a little room to go bigger.

Wouldn't the LSA come into play with the PTV?

These LS3s are just plain sick. Streetable cam-only and it looks like they'll hold their own against a Z06. Awesome results.

Just to throw it out there, I raced one on my current setup in sig from 60-140 and only put about a car and a half on it. He was a bone stock A6, too. They move out.
