Default MTI G1 cam installed...

I picked my car up last night at MTI and after the G1 cam install and underdrive pulley it dynoed 411 rwhp / 379 rwtrq. Not bad for stock heads and the stock titanium cat back. Also I am running through high flow cats.

Very very nice and coming from MTI i am not surprised. Whats the specs on that cam?

Enjoy that beast. Yeah, i believe Lloyd was the technician who put together my MTI 427 C5R motor on my pewter 98 C5 vert. Maybe he can chime in here and confirm that!!

Yes Sir, that was me. How have you been? I am glad to hear you are pleased with MTI's work, and I really appreciate your support and hope all goes well with Camaro Shopping... Keep me posted, Lloyd

I'd like to see the graph on this cam, I'm torn between it and the Stealth II cam, in a cam only Z06. Like to compare it to the graph in my 232/230 114 WS6 H/C car with similar numbers.

Thanks, the cam specs on the G1 are: 228/232 .588/.575 113 lsa
I have never had anything but a pleasant experience with MTI.

You are not the first to ask to see a dyno chart, so it looks like I will have to get off my lazy butt and scan a copy and get someone to host a link for it. As soon as that happens I will post it here.

If you scan it email it to me and I'll post it on my website. I'm pretty excited to see it, if it out performs my H\C WS6 throughout the rpm range with stock Z06 I'm VERY interested. To have that kind of power in the Z06 platform would be too much fun

Good numbers, Dean-O.

I installed my G1 this past weekend. Still doing the fine-tuning, but I expect numbers very similar to yours. My car idles exactly the way I wanted it to. I'll post here after my tuning is complete and I get the car dyno'd.

The G1 and the stealth are on two different sides of the playing field. What do you want to do with the car?

LOL I understand that, if fact sent an email to your customer service with a big explanation and requesting dyno sheets etc. All I got back was "The G1 is an awesome cam" I understand that you get ALOT of email questions especially from tire kickers so I ain't mad at you but really didn't help my decision

This is what I have gathered so far on the two:

Stealth II is a much smaller cam that will provide great results for a "stealthy" car. Now I can give a rats *** about the stealthy part. I am all for bigger cams when I bought the Z06 I intended to put a G5X-3 in it. But I really enjoy the Z06 stock, in a perfect world I would make it behave the same just move both curves up a notch.

G1 isn't really that big either and with tuning I'm guessing will idle perfect and drive perfect. But how is going to feel downlow, am I going to need more than my 2:97 1st gear and 3:42 rear ratio? Does it provide an advantage on the street to the MTI Stealth II? I only race a few times a year.

Both cams in cam only setups are not that far in peak numbers considering different setups and different cars are going to respond differently. I just would like to see what those curves are and compare it the 232/230 cam I was running in the WS6 which was lacking torque IMHO...

While I have A rep from MTI's ear what do you think of Cam only and tuning as a first mod vs Headers? A cam setup is about 700 bucks all said and done headers are 1400, seems to me that the cam is a better "bang for the buck" when considering the stock vette system is not that restrictive compared to a stock F-body. Of course this is just looking at friends numbers and making assumptions on designs thats why I'm trying to ask the experts

Thanks for reading this and am difinately looking forward to some results (dynos) especially with the good deals you have going on right now.

Bobby

Bobby, tuning and the G1 cam will make a great first mod. I would also advise you to install an MTI Underdrive Pulley(since it can be installed with no additional labor cost). that combination will create great midrange and top end power. especially in a Z06 due to the awesome gearing. You have mail...Lloyd
