i'm lookin at this cam 227/241 duration 563/546 lift with a 109 lobe separation for my 01 Formula 6spd, i have good flowing exhaust and an LS6 intake, volant ram air, 4.11 gears, and hp tuners software, let me know what yall think about the cam good and bad for what i already have

 

and does anyone know pushrod length for an 01 LS1 i hear the stock push rods are a liabilty after 6400 rpms so i was looking at a pushrod upgrade to go along with the valve springs

 

7.400

 

pushrod length is 7.400, who makes that cam? what are your goals for the car?

 

comp cams thumpr series, as far as goals for the car i wanna keep it streetable but i want some more *** for them superchaged mustangs running around

 

Aren't those cams more for sound than power? I guess you could always spray it

 

i don't know exactly, she runs pretty good with out the cam, 8.06 @ 89.45 with a 1.903 60 ft in the 1/8... just curious but how much you spraying

 

109 lsa....jeebus...

 

go head and tell me, 109 lsa too much?

 

125 shot

 

Man your tuner is going to hate you with that lsa. Lol! is this a D.D.?

 

yea it's a d.d. and i'm gonna tune it myself it u think i'll have that much trouble,

 

black ls1 whats ur 1/8th mile time

 

10.84 @ 88 mph, car hits the rev limiter everytime I shift to second

 

i hag that problem too i did some horse trading for some et streets 26x11.5r16s that fixed the spinning then i had to fix my rearend after the second pass i need to spend some money and get a 12 bolt or 9 inch, but everything in my rearend has a lifetime warrenty all i have to do is the labor

 

Yeah I picked up some pro stars with 28x10x15s but i took them off at the track because they were rubbing a little on the quarter, so i didnt want to chance it. Need a 12 bolt or a 9 inch too

 

Man that thing is going to buck. It's going to take alot of tuning to get it streetable for a daily driver. I suggest going to the tuning forums for help on this one. I didn't even know they made the thumper cams for LS motors. They say it will be streetable and it probably will be w/ the proper tuning but as far as daily driver status idk. Talk to the reps at comp and tell them it's a daily driver and see if they think that is the best cam for you and your combo. Tuning a 109lsa is doable but it takes a whole lot more work than say a 112lsa.

 

I would talk to one of the vendors also. I suggest Thunder racing. Tell them what your goals are. It sounds like you want it to sound mean but tame enough to drive. Just don't go crazy with the duration sometimes smaller cams are faster and you can have them tighten up the lsa for a choppier idle. M6 cars can get away with a little more radical cam then an A4 car so tell them your complete combo and I bet they come up w/ a good cam for you. I agree w/ blackls1m6 I thought the thumpercams were more about sound then power.

 

i'm not stuck on this cam, i just wanted some in put, as far as the cam goes comparing it to similar cams (duration and lift) 35-50 hp depending on tuning, i have some other options i was looking at, TSP MS3 237/242 .603/.609 w 112 it just seems like a larger cam to me

 

anyone know why the comp XER273HR cam has a higher powerband the the TSP233/239
