Unless specified, AI cuts the chambers quite a bit and then mills back to original chamber size. So if anything, 0.020 milled heads end up with 66-67cc chambers which match his statement that the compression ratio is "pretty close to stock"...thus nowhere near 10.8:1.

Not doubting the numbers, just really surprised at the results from such a "basic" build.

A setup similar to this using TEA 5.3 heads is being talked about in internal right now when Damian did it.

I think you have a very well thought out combonation OP. I would love to see what it traps.

The only thing that makes me suspect is the low compression ratio.

Very nice results. Where have you been hiding and why haven't I seen you out and about?! Who did the build?

I can vouch that this dyno isn't known for throwing out huge numbers.

I had a similar setup tuned by the same guy on the same dyno. Made 480/435 and ran 11.70 @124 with a 2.1 60ft. I had 243's done by TEA with 59cc. So I believe the numbers and you should see some good traps!!

It's working great! Very happy with it--just not having to use a damn puller to remove it is worth it. I removed the factory coolant/PS fluid heat exchanger and put a little PS intercooler down behind the air dam. No more PS fluid mist or leaking out of the cap into the engine bay.

That is almost word-for-word what Jeremy Formato (the tuner) said. He was very impressed with the cam's power after 6000.

Haha I'm hiding down in St. Pete. I used to live up in Tampa and I still hang out with the F-body Inc. guys from time to time. Ever heard of that group?

And the build was just me and a friend...and LS1howto.com

Awesome!

Any idea what lobes the cam uses? Is it a comp grind?

It is an Advanced Induction one-off custom grind, no Comp Cam grind.

I understand that. Let me ask a different way, who grinds AI cams?

Pretty sure it is Comp. AI does put all their cams on a cam doctor and sends you the report with the cam.

When I asked Phil this question his response was vague. He said they have many different companies they use to grind their cams, nothing specific at all.

Rise of the Phoenix

There are only a handful of companies that grind cams; Comp, Cam Motion, Lunati, Isky, Crane, etc. I know Ed Curtis will use whoever can get done what he's wanting in regards to lobe design/profile. I'm sure Phil is the same way.

Powerful set-up.

Congratulations!

I think that's right--my custom grind was taking longer than Phil wanted so he mentioned sending the profile to another machine shop "as a backup."
