Default Pacesetter results with LS6 Cam...

My previous dyno numbers with the mods in my sig where 337/375ish unlocked at Ed Wrights on his tune. I was happy with these numbers, as my plan for the LS6 cam was to simply offset the loss from the TCI CS4200 2.85. I had previously made 337/356 w/o the cam or verter but w/cutout open. I also did this cam as I had 7K miles on the car when we installed it, and I hoped to have a chance at slipping it past a dealer in case of a tragedy since it is so stealth.

The Pacesetters proved a little difficult to install as we had to do quite a bit of floorboard work, and also had to clearance the drivers side header towards the motor 1 inch. Not bad or unexpected, just more time consuming than anything.
The ORY being an 1/2 inch larger diameter than the Bassani ORY I had been running proved to need some heating and bending to clearance the floor under hard street launchs. Suprised I didn't get a ticket as many times as I made street runs.

I wasn't sure how much the "BABY CAM" would respond to more breathing room, especially since I doubted I would see much if any from the 1/2 inch larger ORY.

Results as of Monday dyno session w/o any tuning and again with the verter unlocked and through the Dual Dual cat back no cutout...
354/408
17RWHP and 23 RWTQ

Hoping for 2 tenths and 2 MPH in as perfect air as we get here in Tulsa. If that works out, I plan on the Mezier W/P, ASP Pulley set and some weight reduction. I have only removed the spare/jack/front swaybar so far.

I've never seen Joseph need to work on the floor of a car when he installed PaceSetters, but I'll watch closely next time We have another 20 sets in stock so I have a few installs scheduled for the next week.

I think you'll really like those headers!!

The pulls where at 70 MPH in 3rd gear to keep from spiking torque from a 2nd gear downshift. I'm at work currently and don't have the dyno sheet in front of me for the paticulars, so I will reply to your question this evening.

The run started at 3200 RPM at 72 MPH and the TQ peak was at 4300 most likely when the verter hit at 83 MPH. However TQ stayed above 350 to 5000 RPM and stayed above 250 to 6800 RPM. This was the same technique used to dyno the car anywhere I've been. Ed will typically lock the trans into 3rd to keep the down shift from happening, as you can get a better lower RPM and MPH pull.

HP peaked at 4800 RPM and stayed above 340 to 6800 RPM.

I've never put dyno runs under a microscope as they vary from dyno to dyno and day to day. I just hope to get a couple tenths if possible.

In talking to Trevor about his FLP's he said he had to do the same thing. I was a little nervous to see that the box had 00 Camaro/Firebird on it, but the headers themselves had the 2255 number that crosses to the 01-02's with AIR hookups. The area above the drivers side flange is the area I had some hitting going on. We simply pushed it up about an inch, and problem was solved.

I think I'm gonna like these headers also.
