228/232 Cam only results w/ graph I wanted a milder cam that drove like stock, and made a lot of under the curve tq with a nice powerband... and without spinning it to the moon to make power. I went with a Spartan cam... It makes peak power at 6250, drives very easy, and plenty of tq down low. My car is set up for taking corners, not straight line speed. Mods:
228/232 .581 .585 112+4
Pacesetter LTs and ORY dumped
Lid, LS6 intake
Everything else is stock (thats relative to power) with 115k and it has heavy 18s with wide Toyo 315s.
I am very pleased with the results. I am sure there is more left in the tuning, but she sure does run good now.

Sam tuned it. I don't think its dead on, but pretty close. I am no tuner, though. He also said that the coil packs being loose on my car could cause the waviness, so ill try to get that taken care of aswell.

I agree. Great cam.
Not necessarily. With 10% ethanol (most likely what's in the tank if it's in the DFW area), I've found best power with A/F ratio around 12.4:1. With 100% gasoline, it was closer to 12.8:1 to make best power, but you have to adjust fuel to air ratios to match the fuel in the tank. Ethanol has a much lower stoich than gas.

OP, Great numbers for a cam only car. Spartan suggest that came to me after I did my EPS cam.

Got a graph the the hp/tq the same numbers, that one makes it looks like the tq drops like I rock. Untill I noted the "300" on the left was not tq, at 6200 looks really low. ha
Why not SAE? I rarely see over 1.01 correction, how did the STD compares to SAE in that weather?

Yes, Pacesetter ORY with flowmaster merge.
That is the graph Sam printed out for me. I honestly don't know how/if the SAE numbers differed. Im sure they would have been a little lower but not much. If calibrated correctly its a 2.6% difference I believe. I need to go back so he can touch up my idle, so Ill look into getting an SAE graph.

My brother runs a 228/232 xe-r 112lsa cam in his 02 z06. I love that size cam, 426whp corrected for him, cant remember the torque.
Nice setup amd good choice on the cam OP.
