Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) I was under the impression you had to use the lighter valves as well for this to be reliable in the upper RPMS? How far have you twisted this cam and where does it peak at?

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) On the dyno its been to 6200 RPM several times with no float. Like I said before, I did a lot of research and the valve spring rates are very similar to the 918's. SSMAN66 posted them. The cam made the most HP at 6200RPM and slightly climbing, so Im sure it will peak slightly higher than that. I'll probably have the shift points set at 6400 or so.

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) sorry to bring up a dead thread...just wanted to back up his numbers
i did 369/371 with the 02 Z06 cam/mac headers/asp pulley/ slp air lid as my mods
this is on a 98 with around 8k miles on the motor
very nice sleeper cam....if i did not tell people that i have it...they would not know the difference <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" />
I remember back when i was researching this cam....the only feedback i ever recieved was "it's not even worth taking the motor apart for" blah blah blah.....
I am very happy with it and for half the price of the "big" cams....i feel that the cam is doing very well <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) Thanks a lot for the update! Its great to see some other results, and good ones at that. Keep us posted. This topic has been on going on LS1.com. Have fun with it. How was your torque curve?

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) actually i thought it looked pretty good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
air/fuel was 13.1 on stock tuning...alittle lean
it is trapping 115 in a m6 car with a race weight of 3700lbs
has killer torque on the "kick" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) I posted this in response to this thread on "the other forum".
:
I read through this last night, and it still doesn't look like anyone's brought this up. Looking at the split between intake and exhaust duration, and throwing the very wide LSA into the equation, does this ('02 LS6 cam) not look like a perfect N2O cam?
Not only do you get the nice, stock idle quality, and the benefits of increased N/A power, but because of the duration split heavily favoring the exhaust event, and the extreme lack of overlap, this cam would be an ideal nitrous or blower cam. Plus, it's cheap. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> I looked at SDPC's website last night, and you can get the whole shebang, including Manley 7.4" CM pushrods, Manley Ti retainers, and single wound chrome silicon valve springs that will take 600 lift and provide 120 lbs of seat pressure, for about $456.00 not including shipping. Its not a kit (it should be) but it doesn't take too much time to find the appropriate pieces.
With all the interest that this thread has generated, perhaps someone could contact Scoggin-Dickey about throwing together a kit, and then offering a GP on it, hint-hint. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) I have plenty of Z06 01 dyno sheets <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> A4 and M6, we felt at the time we were really on to something special when you can put down an undetectable 387/385 SAE through an M6 W/3:73 gears and little set of S1 heads with the exhaust manifolds still in place! Anyway, this TA WS6 M6 car mentioned ran in the 11.7x 118.xx range in full street trim on drag radials... Ahh those were the days! kicking S2's to the curb at the track, but those days are over and we moved on to bigger parts since then, were acually having even more fun now than ever but without the stealth stock idle. I think with our newest S1 heads and a 2002 cam, we can break the 400 RWH M6 barrier right now?! Good stuff guys <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Keep the good results comming!

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) If the dealer wanted to he could check the PCM to find out if the volumetric efficiency has changed on the engine. You can bet with a cam change you have done that.
So don't be so confident that its "undetectable" when you take it to the dealer.
Just a heads up for you guys!
I am wondering what this thing would do in full bolt on trim with true dual exhaust <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) So the VE would spec in at Z06 calibrations.. I think you place too much stock in warrantee bean counters, my Z06 cam in my 2000 Camaro was installed AND covered under warrantee by the dealership and my drivetrain warrantee is still in effect to this day, it's undetectable in either case, no flame intended.

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) joe, what is the most hp/tq you have gotten out of a 01 or 02 ls6 cam with stock heads or ported heads?? i figure this would be a good sleeper cam that will work well with ported heads.
thanks for your input.

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) My Z06 with the stock airbox lid open dyno'd 372 throught the stock cats and the stock manifolds. With bolt ons and tuning I know of many car that has made almost 400RWHP. In fact my buddies Z06 made 393rwhp/400rwtq
Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) I'm seriously thinking about ordering this cam today. I have a 2002 WS6 M6 that dyno'd 335/353 with just a Direct Flo lid/K&N and a muffler... runs 12.6's in the 1/4. Anybody think I can get 350+/375 out of this cam, and maybe drop a couple of tenths?

Re: '02 LS6 Cam Dyno results within' =) I just had my LS6 cam installed with a set of jet hot lts. to be perfectly honest, i dont FEEL that much difference in speed, but the speedo seems to go quite a bit faster. i got the 03 LS6 cam, at the time of purchase the 02 was out of stock. the sales man swore up and down they were the same. it seems like i can hear the cam lope, i thought the LS6 cam was quiet. what does it feel like above 4000rpm is it a surge or does it keep pulling but stronger?
