Go with the Cam Motion cam then?
Not like the others will make any more power for what you're doing.

If it’s an LY6 it doesn’t have VVT, do you mean an L96? Either way go with cam motion or BTR and do what they recommend for your goals. Both have done good on builds I’ve done. Sounds like a cool ride btw.

Call cam motion and have them spec you a cam. OTS cam is shooting in the dark without NVGs or tracers

It's an ly6 with a mast motor sports vvt cam.
Worked great n/a but now that it's supercharged ,
Looking to ditch vvt and go with a blower cam

Where do you think BTR gets their info from?!?!?
Brian isn't really affiliated with the company anymore except to fight FB battles. Brian was the wealth of knowledge in the company....then they kinda fired him.

Do the custom cam card.

Nick at BTR will custom spec a cam for your exact situation.

Costs like $20 to get the cam spec'd, and then when you order the custom cam, they take that off the price of the core.

Do you have any proof to back up these claims? Find it hard to believe Brian got fired from his own company.

I live here local to BTR. So word gets around fast. This happened a few years ago when the company became Employee owned. He was kind of phased out. It's a shame, Brian is a great guy, But there was a lot of in house turmoil. I've been doing some business with Brian since 97 when he owned TEA in BG

Brian Tooley is still president and CEO of BTR.
That position has never changed.
