Default Race Proven Motorsports 550rwhp Cam only

This 2008 Z06 is literally just a RPM B-3 cam,ARH W/cats and a vararam. Stock non ported intake/tb, No underdrive pulley.

We will Add an LSXR intake and an RPS Clutch shortly and get some more runs on it next year.



The owner of the car had never even been to a racetrack let alone race on one. I feel he did good for his second pass.

nice numbers but I am confused as why there are so many "Cam only" posts and you go look and the car has intake, headers, catback and oh yeah a cam too.

Cam only in the LSX world is basically reffering to a full bolt on with cam.

Nice numbers!!!

And yeah "cam only" basically means you don't have heads, intake, or a power adder...everything else is fair game.

Great numbers! However,the LS7 heads are far from being the run of the mill production type heads such as a 241. So referring to the set up as cam only may be stretching it a bit!!

How I figure is that those heads out flow a lot of after market LSx heads. So the term "stock" is not always relative now is it!! Yeah,and it's only a "stock" hand built engine also. The term stock doesn't really apply to engines that are purpose built as a racing type application. Stock is an over worked term that has lost it's true meaning. That's like saying that the old LZ1 was a stock engine just because GM produced it.

If you can buy it from the factory its STOCK. They made 10's of thousands of them. Its not like they made 500 of them.

OK,it's a stock "racing" dry sump engine with a different cam than was put in during the assembly of each individual hand built engine at GM. It's not like you put a cam in some assembly line engine to produce that HP/TQ. Like I said previously, great numbers...but what else would you expect from that engine with just a one component swap (cam)...anything less and you would have pissed!
