Default New Cam in!

I'd like to thank Don (Slowhawk on the forums) for installing and tuning my cam this past weekend. The car runs awesome. It made 420hp and 404 lb-ft cam only. I am loosing a little because of the air box, so its time to do something about that finally. The car drives pretty much like stock, just with a bunch more get up and go!

Now the not so good news....

Using the 100 shot pills that are in the car now, the car made 524hp and 585lb-ft of torque spinning the tires when the nitrous hit, it completely maxed out the fuel system though so it looks like its time to upgrade to either a standalone system or a new intank pump. For now the plan is to jet it to a 50 shot and have some fun with it there. With the standalone fuel system it looks like 600lb-ft of torque should be reachable. If anyone has ideas fuel system wise feel free to share!

Don also noted a vibration while on the dyno at around 120mph going up to 145mph. So the driveshaft is coming out next weekend and going in for a balance it looks like.

I will try to get some sound clips tomorrow and maybe some video of it running if its actually nice up this way.

Anthony

LS2 can make a good deal of power w/ just a cam.

Boosted even on a 100 shot your motor should last many years.

Well they are LS6 castings..... not stock compared to a 346 LS1 but stock compared to other 6 Liter motors. Meaning GM was kind enough to give 6.0L GTO owners good parts.

A 230ish cam would make it def a nice driver.
