Default ls3 Vette-ported heads and cam 521rwhp

LS3 Vette,came in with a mild cam,Kooks 1 7/8 headers and catted x pipe,halltech intake and 3.90 gears.
We sent the heads to Richard at WCCH,installed a bigger cam,and some Yella Terra rockers.Picked up really good power without sacrificing the low end over the previous cam.

I can tell you...........

Specs on the cam are $405.00 LOL!!!!

Nice job-wonder how much of the gain is attributed to the cam and how much to the heads.

It's a shame people don't tell cam specs anymore. Then you go to a dyno in your town and the numbers don't match what the shop got. This has been my case in the past. Nice numbers.

like i said in the past-it's not fair to the customer to give away what he had to pay for.He paid for this combination,anybody else that wants the same combo,will have to pay just like he did.

the last time this car went to another dyno-it made 20 more hp on their dyno.

Great power but any idea on the new cam? You went to Ported heads, YT rockers and a larger cam.... The cam info is an absolute must. How much did the YT rockers give?

Not bad...a buddy of mine has a ls3 vette as well and has vararam intake, UDP, custom ground cam, kooks 1 7/8, kooks x-pipe, B&B mufflers and put down 501 hp. So that car picked up give or take 20 hp more with the ported heads.

I know, I can't believe it either.....

It's just hard to see if the numbers are good or bad since you don't know all the specs of said combo. Everyones opinion of driveability is different.

I guess its no different than paying $50k for a car without ever taking it for a test drive. Most people would NEVER do that.

Most people know what to expect when you add a TR224 cam to a full bolt on LS1 M6 car. When people hide cam specs you don't know what that special cam might do for your combo.

Myself and most people in the world like to know what there are buying before handing over their hard earned cash.

I understand people put a lot of time into a certain combos but is it really a big secret? Companies only have an advantage over another company for a short time anyways. Nothing a cam doctor can't find out and then post all the specs on the forums, o-wait, that has happened on here before...

Over all great numbers but won't know if it drives like a stock car or shakes your head loose unless I buy the "Private Cam" and find out for myself.
