I'am pondering about changing cams, this one I'am looking into, I really like it, this just adds to my list favoring it.

Thanks for posting, and nice numbers.

I don't know. They (Vengeance) said it's very close with this cam. I figure as long as they never touch it makes no difference to me. I'm just a shadetree mechanic though. Vengeance said it would work with stock heads and it does.

Had it in since August '07 with no problems so far.

yes it will work but it is very close with the stock heads. so close to were if i was spinning the motor past 6700 i would be biteing my lip i am using the stock 243's and they have more room to work with. But other wise love this cam and it not bad to drive at all with a m6

Here's the graph.

Note the dip where it's running rich, then makes more power as it leans out some.

a FAST 90/90, or the new 92mm will help ALOT for a cam that size. a ported FAST combo would help even more! On a vindicator setup with a ls6 intake, Vengeance had the rev limiter set at 6,900. with a ported fast 90 combo the rev limiter was set at 7,200. There have been some pretty insane # increases from the FAST swap, its just so damn expensive! just a little food for thought

Should lay down about 420RWHP with a final dyno tune and a 10 min cool down.

Good luck!!!

Agreed! Thanks for the fantastic customer service over there. Ron has been very helpful every step along the way. I would recommend Vengeance to anyone.....

....well, anyone who wants to order a part- receive that part quickly and correctly- install it with no issues- and have it perform as promised.

Glad you are happy man. When you are ready for a ported 92 combo give us a call and go for another step in the right direction.

I'll have that 92/92 on top of the vindicator here in few days. We'll see how she does!
