Soon as we get it on the dyno I'll have comparison numbers too, to see how much this cam picks up over the ls6 on the same 11psi....anyone have some guesses on that?

It's a 236/236 on 112.5. Can't remember the lift, 58x I believe...it's on their website.

Car has a bullet muffler just to keep the cops happy

I am about to start a 4.8L build and was very interested in the tu1 cam, how much better does it perform over the ls6 cam....sorry about the thread hijack.

I'm also going to run a TU2 cam and couldn't find any sound clips on it. Thanks for the video it sounds awesome. I'm curious to see what it makes compared to the ls6 cam.

i havnt gotten to drive it yet but my friend who did this motor swap and tuning said that it just hits boost instantly now...before with the ls6 there was a sec or so delay when you stomped it

dyno is supposed to be this sat so hopefully ill have some good numbers posted then

Very nice. That 370 will smoke probably any 455 buddy's cars you might have.
