C5/Kooks/Borla/Circle D/Cam only Here are some great results that came from a shop in our dealer network. NorthShore Auto Clinic was able to coax some very nice gains out of a C5 Corvette the other day.
The car was brought in bone stock with nothing but a cold air intake installed. Justin@NorthShore then got to work installing Kooks 1x7/8" headers, Borla "ATAK" exhaust and one of our custom cam packages.
Cam specs are 233/236 .619"/.578" 113lsa. The cam is paired with BTR Platinum springs and Comp Cams hardened chromoly push rods.
The car is equipped with a Circle D 3600 billet lock up converter as well and was locked during the pulls.
SAE corrected:
Uncorrected:
Plans are to take it to the track after purchasing a set of drag radials and gunning for 10's!
BTW it looks like these runs were recorded on our dyno, but they were not. I had my customer send the Win Pep files to me via email so I could upload them in our customer database to compare to other camshaft installs we've performed here at our shop.

Nice numbers. Just picked up a 04 A4 c5 and looking at diff cam for it. How is this cam on the street? I did a big cam on my 02 Z and just hated how it drove on the street. So i am looking for a great street cam for this car. Would this cam work with a stock stall conv? Are you using a underdrive pulley and are you running cats on this car? Love the torque and hp of your setup. Def looking forward to seeing yr track times!

To use a stock converter, the biggest cam I would recommend would be 225/226 .612/.570 114+3. If you wanted a tad more top end above 5000rpm in trade for some torque between 3000-5000 the cam could be ground with a 228 exhaust lobe instead.

That said, with what you have I would be more inclined to run this camshaft instead:
237/240 .622"/.588" 112lsa
^^ Just purchased this cam from Martin for my c5z very excited to see what it does. Hoping to have everything in the car and tuned by the end of March.

Not in a million years. If it does I'd be a monkey's uncle.
With your combo, that cam would be a rocket ship. You have the compression, you have the port volume and valve sizing to allow that cam to shine.
Easy high 9's all motor on pump gas with that set-up in a fox body.
