Sweet, how bout some prices? Release date yet? That is a huge cam 
How well do you think this cam will work on a 00' LT's, full 3" exhaust dumped before the rear, 28 lb injectors, ported TB, free mods, lid, 4.10's, asp, double roller tc and a LS1 intake unless someone has a LS6 sitting around? What kind of package are you all going to have? I have everything for the install execpt the cam, springs, retainers, keepers, and the rods. Shoot me some info, I'm ready to buy

Just when you all think it was safe to go with the G5X2 for mo powa
Good job thunder!
I didnt knwo we could get away with that much duration.... Sounds like time to try a different lobe
Problem is, what is it gonna cost me for some tuning help from Geoff? That car makes me wanna

I cant beleive there are actually doubters that you can make this much power!
We did it in a no name shop a few months ago (thanks to Joe O), and with the knowledge at Thunder, they bested us by 30 hp a few months later. Not hard to swallow at all. Our setup peaked 419 rwhp at 6200, and theirs at 6500. Leave the intake valve open longer, and shut it later.
Car comes on like a turbo car at 4500 rpm I bet with those 3.42s
Hey jason, id like to know what the V1 specs are. My guess is (well im very sure it was on a 110 also) same LSA, but intake valve closed a few degrees earlier. Was the intake lobe larger in V2 cam with the 2 degrees advance to maintain midrange torque curve? Something like 238 or 240 intake/246 ex on a 110 straight up, or am I way off?

The intake wasn't worth alot of peak hp, but in some spots it was worth 10hp/tq in the low/mid-range.
I"ll have the dyno graphs, sound clips, and much more info on these cams later.

I will post up as a third party to actually seeing this car in person myself. I went to thunder ( 4 hour drive) to dyno my car and Jasons car was still on the dyno yesterday and all I have got to say is Thunder has a very nice setup with this car. Idles great and man this cam hits so amazingly hard you would not beleave how good it sounds. Geoff was awesome to deal with and thunder is in my book a class act company. The cam is simple awesome and Im sure you will sell a ton of them. Honestly after seeing this setup im thinking of doing a Ls1 setup simular with my white 99TA.

We feel the 75mm TB is next bottleneck. Once we get our shipment of 90mm TBs in, we will be trying the 90mm FAST on the car.

Good heads usually add 40 hp anyway. Sure they are a bottleneck, but they are a bottleneck at 350 hp and 450 hp. To a point, Al Cordas car has "similair" heads. less head... more cam. Im sure this is a smaller cam than Al runs. However slight an amount 
What I really want to know is what exhaust lobe was in V.1 of this cam, its the First traditional split marketed by Thunder

Jason, that stock bottom ends days will be numbered with heads, 90mm intake and you behind the wheel, thats more that you made with the forged 346 solid roller

Everytime someone ask a question regarding this cam or anything about thunder you chime in everytime. do u even work at thunder? i think its jason's or thunders place to answer questions about the cam or anything regarding there buisness not yours. i saw earlier you were giving spring advice and u didnt even know about the cam. i mean give it a rest already!

And why are people asking for an A4 cam? Why wouldn't this cam work in an A4? I think it would fine.
