this thing is just an animal-cam is in the mid 230's intake,idles really nice.
oh yeah-this has the right cam in it-not that 2 deg split stuff.

i got to thank the guys in the shop for doing a great job putting it together and of course Ed for another killer tune.

Enjoy
So you are running a large split? is the lift <.600?

great results very constant and great results .... you got many peoples attention with your good combos L92 heads

looked at your site but didn`t find what`s the flow numbers and price of the assembeled heads and the required intake rockers? and the intake packege and harnes to work on 98-02 f-body and how much for the ported intake option?

just asking for people to know (including me) as I already bought another set up but if the price is close and I don`t get good results I might bite a nail or two lol

I think the numbers speak for themselves. There's little to no chance a stalled auto GTO would put up those numbers. Not to mention you can't make a pull starting at 2 grand with a stalled auto GTO. At least not a Gen II.

we have been behind on our site-we are pretty undermanned and overworked.Hopefully soon we will have alot of these great packages up.

on my bench they flowed 310in 220ex -but like i said earlier that really doesn't mean much compared to other peoples numbers-but they obviously make power

i would like to try ed's cam but until he shows me some auto stuff i'm not going to. most guys make big power with 6speeds. i put 480 down with a very mild l92 th350 setup so i'm really not super impressed with the #'s. i'm not bashing just looking for some gains in my own setup.

I don't know anyone who's made over 500 rwhp with a stock bottom end. I don't know anyone who's made 540 even with a 416/418.

I'd like to see yours make those numbers on our dyno. Especially with a non lock up converter.

I've done enough of these things to know what they make in all different variations.

Edit: I could see if you were running a VJ and Accufab T-body. But with a GM intake, a cam smaller than alot of guys run in 346s, etc., I'd say it ain't happenin.

the 68-74 autos can't make a pull @ 2k?

You can start a pull at 2000, as in hit the button, and nail it, but the way the dyno samples, it will start the graph line at the flash of the converter. I've tried countless times to have them start early, and regardless when you hit the button, and then the throttle, they always seem to start the graph at the converter flash.

So even if you start at 2000, if the converter flashes to 3000, that's where the run will start on the graph.

Later model converters that you can lock, you can start them low, just like a clutch.

Well in the other GTO thread on here you have a stock cube GTO making 508 rwhp and this GTO you have a 416 cube motor and it makes 539 rwhp. I am guessing the cam in the smaller motor was a lil more radical compared to this one. I am just saying I think there should of been a lil more power there in the 416 cu in setup.

Also, I don't have a dyno at my house so I don't know if you could make a pull at 2 grand and I wasn't looking at that part of the graph.

If you were to overlay the two graphs, you'd see that the smaller motor peaked at 65/6600, and the bigger motor peaked at about 6000. The limiting factor in the big motor, is the intake. The smaller motors aren't nearly as limited as the bigger ones, intake wise. So, don't let the comparison of peak HP numbers fool you. 540 with L92s and a L76 intake is pretty damn good. Besides, the difference in torque is huge. 60 ft pounds or better. At 3500, the difference is 100 ft pounds.



The cam in both are very similar, which would make it more radical in the smaller motor, than the larger. It is what would be considered middle of the road size wise.
