Default Asa Cam Results

Put The Asa Cam In 226 236 Duration At 50 And 525 Lift On I And E.
110 Lobe Sep. Also Put 918 Springs And Manley Pushrods In. With Ls1 Edit Tune And Cutout Open In The I Pipe
Car Put Down 370hp And 366ft Lbs Torque On A Dyno Jet. All Mods In Sig. Still Running Through The Cats. Tuner Said That If I Took The Cats Off It Should Make 15 To 20 More Hp Because The Cam Has A Tight Lobe Seperation And A Large Exhaust Duration. I Still Need To Get A Ported Throttle Body And Underdrive Pulley. Im Hoping For 400hp. Any Suggestions Or Thoughts On This Would Be Appreciated.

sweet i was thinking about getting this cam but there were alot of haters when i asked about it. i have almost the same mods you have except i also have the ones you dont. did you have to fly cut at all? i'm guessing no but it never hurts to ask.

those are nice numbers. with the addition of a pulley, ported tb, and taking the cats off you'll probably be getting close to that 400 mark.

if you can i'd love to see a dyno graph. i've never seen an asa cammed graph and am curious what the curve looks like.

once again, congrats, and enjoy the new power

44mag, without cats, with a cutout and ported TB, that cam should be in the 390 range. Congrats. I've always liked the ASA cam. It's also the most wicked cam I've ever heard on an LS1.

The ASA cam kicks ***, and makes a BEAUTIFUL tq curve.

With a set of GMPP LS6 heads, and 1.8 rockers I am willing to bet that setup will make 440 RWHP and the best TQ curve ever to be seen on a 346 ci motor..

Mex,

It's a GMPP cam used for the ASA Stock car series race setups (oh so I think).
The low lift is identical to the regular, GMPP Hotcam (.525), but the ASA has longer duration and is tighter (110 vs 112).

It's a relatively odd cam by today's standards of lift, but it's proven itself over and over to be a torque cam, and a great option for those seeking long spring life.
It wasn't too popular before, when cam choices were more limited due to people not being able to tune it properly for street use, but I think given today's tuning, it can run no problem.

Did pulling the cats make the lope more noticable ? I have been debating on doing this for a while but some people say its a waste of time I have a 230/224 on a 112 LSA and wish it was a little more noticable THANKS

it will definately make it louder. but with my flowmaster muffler it makes it sound raspy. i would say the lope sounds about the same. i just did it to make more power

get the flowmaster off of there, and use a spintech, or a magnaflow, or a slp dual/dual....cheap 10 hp easily, and no rasp with the d/d slp one.

From my own experience with the Splitcase Spintech, it's not much better than the Flowmaster. Magnaflow, Hooker and SLP D/D and 2OTL are all free flowing and keep rasp to a minimum. Or, simply a cutout would flow best.
Yes, please, free up that exhaust and redyno!

spintech mufflers suck power.

dual/dual will lose power over a cutout a decent bit, but for it quietness it flows great. Hooker/Magnaflow seem to be tops as far as power
