Cam only LS3 2011 result: 470rwhp SAE 2011 1SS LS3
TSP Intake Kit
TSP 1 7/8 Long Tubes with Full Exhaust (No cats)
TSP 231/236 112lsa
PRC .675 spring kit
Stock Heads/Intake Manifold/TB
I scheduled an appointment with Andy at http://www.carbconn.com to have my car tuned on friday. I showed up and they rolled me right on in. Our first dyno pull was 447 rwhp SAE, with a partial get-to-the-tuner tune that I put on the car. Optimistic for 460 rwhp, I left the car in Andy's capable hands and my wife and I went shopping.
Three hours later, we returned and the car was finished! 470 RWHP sae, 485 actual hp on the dyno (sae was 0.97) I was extremely impressed not with Andy @ CarbConn's tuning abilities, but with the Texas-Speed parts on the car. This cam drives extremely well, with borderline stock characteristics. Probably a combination of the excellent tune on the car, and the good design of the cam. I don't want to be a huge nutswinger of TSP's cams, but at first I didn't think this cam would produce the results I was after, and that'd I'd need something larger... however it appears with an UD Pulley, a ported intake/TB I could easily be looking at 485-490rwhp and well over 510 with heads... seems like a great cam for N/A... and just look at the torque curve! We only dynod to 6500, but I'm going to extend redline to 6900-7 to get the most out of the car. Anyway, proof is in the pudding. Some idle clips below, a dyno clip, and some random pictures

nice results. Your going to think I am crazy but you might gain power/trq if you put the stock cat back back on. Some people have done this and it worked. The ls3 when cammed likes a little backpresure. Would be intresting to see someone else try it.

Nice results! I just installed the TSP 229/236 cam in my G8. I agree with you that the drivability is great. Almost like stock but with alot more power.
