Not in a 346. Maybe in a larger motor like a 402. Negative 7 degrees of overlap seems to be where cars can pass the sniffer. Some can pass with negative 4 degrees. But the 227/235 113 cam has positive 5 degrees of overlap. Too dirty to pass. Sorry for the hijack Josh.

Great torque out of that cam and the peak hp is no joke either for all of the stock parts and full exhaust you're running. BUT I don't care how much hp people say that Pacesetter ORY loses, it fits PERFECT; ten times better than any other y-pipes I've seen without going to a custom exhaust setup. That's worth a few horses to me.

Still, killer results out of that cam. If I was looking for a setup like my current one, I'd just skip the LS6 heads and go with a cam-only using that cam.

Very nice gains over stock cam set up. The customer should be very happy with it.

I agree the Pacesetter Y fits great, but it's got a lot of flaws, especially that garbage excuse of a merge they built. I gained 7hp/7tq across the board putting a 3inch Flowmaster merge on a pacesetter setup on a heads/cam car earlier last year. Not bad for a $40 merge collector addition.

Thanks Pat, How much overlap does that 228/232 have? Sorry about the hijack Josh.

Josh didn't specify LSA with the 228/232 cam, but here's the overlap of some 228/232 cams with varying LSA:
110LSA 10 degrees at .050"
111LSA 8
112LSA 6
113LSA 4
114LSA 2
115LSA 0
116LSA -2

Can you get these numbers out of most LS1s? I know all engines are different but for most of them. Also, If you went up to say a 234 or 236 duration you could get higher HP numbers? Maybe 420hp/400tq? IDK too much about cams, i know the very basics only really. I'm just doing some research, lol.

I built a similar setup earlier last year that made 409/380 through a 12 bolt/steel DS/18inch wheels, stock headed 02 car.

I wouldn't say the #'s are typical, but they're not hard to achieve. Going up in duration doesn't always mean bigger HP #'s. I've swapped out smaller cams for bigger ones, and actually lost power. All depends on the combination.

FWIW, this car was STREET TUNED, NOT DYNO TUNED. So, it's tuned to run it's max potential on the street, not on the dyno.

The cam is on a 112, ICL is 108.

Alright, thanks for the answer. I'll keep that info in mind.

I'm starting to like shops in GA more and more, lol.

Sorry bro, I missed this one. I do not sell cams, as I'm not a retail facility. I just call and have this grind ordered as needed for my customer.

Car drives smooth as silk. Valvetrain is quiet, and this cam can run on 918's all day/year long with no problems.

TQ never drops below 325ft.lbs. from 3000-6500 rpm,HP peak is a little over 6000rpm..i like builds where you don't have to spin to the moon to make power..good job,excellent example of usable power in a street car..

Damian, very nice results with the combo of mods he has.
I am running the pretty much the same set-up but am also runnin with 4.10s we bill going with some CNC'd 241 heads, and have a custom ORY w/ the flowmster merge.

Do you think 400rwtq is doable?
The car isn't a DD but the 400 mark is my goal. I've been looking at the Torquer 3, but your customers car is almost there on this cam, and I'm think I might be ablt to hit it. What do you think?

Whats the lift on the cam Josh? I see it have 4* overlap.

Do you think this kind of power is obtainable with 853 heads?

Well my take on it is this. With today's knowledge about cams, the proper bolt ons, and tuning if you can't hit 400 rwhp in an M6 LS1 then you don't have any business touching the car ......On a serious note, you should be able to hit 400 rwhp no problem, even without the CNC heads. As stated above this car made 409 through FULL exhaust, no cutout on a STREET tune. Which is not setup to make the prettiest dyno number, but setup to run the best # on the street.

Whats the lift on the cam Josh? I see it have 4* overlap.

Do you think this kind of power is obtainable with 853 heads?
XE-R/XE on the lift I can't say for sure you could make this exact power on 853's, because I haven't had the chance to try it yet with THIS cam but 400 rwhp with 853's isn't hard to do. There isn't this huge astronomical difference between an 853 and a 241 like the internet makes it out to be.

Josh do you think 400 rwhp is doable in a a4 with that same set up or would there need to be more items added to the car to get 400 with the a4? If more parts are needed what would you suggest? You cease to amaze me with the numbers you put out of ls1 cars!!Great job! Also how does the car sound at idle does it have a mean cam lope to it? thanks
