PRE-Z06

The Cheater V3 is basically the same as my custom grind that I speced before it came out XFI 218/230 .605/.604 116+2. It made 426/386 with PRC stage2.5 heads, ls6 intake, thru cats and stock z06 exhaust. Car has been a best of 11.0@124 and sounds/drives like stock, no BS...everyone looks for the bottle lol

LOL...i know what you mean about the bottle. I raced a 347cid mustang that had a vortech blower and a 75hp shot with skinnies and drag radials. I had my '02 WS6 with a mildly ported stock heads, my little 216/220 comp cam, vig.3600 stall, flp headers and borla CB. My car was full weight and my 260lb buddy was in the passenger seat. Oh and i still had my crappy F1 tires on all 4 wheels..lol.
Well he laughed at me when i asked him to race. He told me what he had done and i was just looking to have fun, i didn't really care if i won or lost. So we line up and right out of the hole i jumped 2 car lengths out on him. I beat by 5 or 6 cars. He wanted to try it again cause he said he missed a shift. I said sure. Well i beat him by 3 cars the second race. So he was highly upset..lol. We pulled over and he was repeating over and over that i had a bottle in the car...lol. That was 2 years before i installed my TNT kit..lol. So i figured if i was going to keep getting acused of having nitrous i finally installed a 125hp wet kit. And on my very first pass hot off the street it ran a 10.93 @ 127 mph. As happy as i was i used a TPS NX switch. Well it was delaying my nitrous from coming on. So for the first 330' i was running NA...then the nitrous kicked in. So imagine if i launched with the kit spraying. By the mph i was running i think my car could have ran 10.7's or maybe high 10.6's. Thats racing!!! lol. Anyway i planned on just going with a high lift 218/224 cam when i ever mod my car, but seeing the gains the V3 Cheatr is giving i might rethink
my choice. And since i'll most likely run cats with the long tube headers the extra exhaust duration should be an asset.

Very nice man. Im hoping for a low 12 being N/A. I just talked to John at TR today, he said Comp will have my cam delivered to TR monday and then they will 2 day air it to me. So im hoping next weekend i can install it all.

I was hoping to do it this weekend but **** happens.

well,the reason i run the bottle ,i go to the track 2 times a year.in the fall and in the spring when it's cool out. i'm 49 years old and haven't ran nitrous in any car or truck i've had on the track before, until i bought my camaro.i don't street race anymore so i don't need 426 h.p. on the street.everyone sets there car up differently for their needs.i dynoed 325 r.w.h.p. with the cheatr v3 package and went 12.35 on motor,which is pretty good i think for a car with exhaust manifolds and stock exhaust.(NO HEADER'S)i thought i would never ever fool with nitrous,but it's a cool power adder if you respect it, and run all the safety features.just like a supercharger or turbo. i fill the bottle once a year,so it don't cost me alot.

Very good N/A with pretty much just the cam. Im hoping for 380 to 400 RWHP RWTQ once i get the cam in. My last mods to do will be the heads but i dont see me doing those for quite some time. My wife is going to kill me for all the money i spent on the cam and tools to do it. I figured a couple hundred bucks extra for me to do it, or $600 more dollars for a shop to do it.

Thats some nice times for cam only. I think Comp knew that a 218 cam was just the
right mix of hp and tq. The old 218/224 .527/.535 114 lsa cam will put an LS1 in the high
11's. It's an old design but i know with a good set of heads with full bolt ons that old cam
makes for a killer setup. I know i'm going with a cam somewhere close to 218 degrees.

I need to find a set of heads for cheap. Like the TSP stg 2.5 5.3 heads for like $500 bucks lol. That would be awesome!

Well i should have the cam here wed or thur this week and im installing it this weekend. I work saturday but im planning on starting it sat night and getting it done sunday. If all goes to plan i should be able to dyno and tune it monday. Im praying everything goes well.

K guys got my valve springs installed tonight. I used the Patriot Extreme springs. The cam will be here Tuesday and going in next Sat. I have a weird ticking coming from my engine afterward now though. Theres no check engine light on or anything so i really dont think its from me doing the swap. I thinkm its probably the sewing machine noise everyone talks about.

That is interesting. Most of the time the "sewing machine sound" is attributed to improper lifter preload and/or faster closing rates on the valves. Did you change the pushrods at the same time as springs? If not, your preload should remain the same as it was before.

No i didnt change the PR's. Im waiting till i do the cam to put in my new PR's.

LS12FAST4U,

I bought this cam for my '05 CTS-V when I was out in Iraq. I'm still catching up on the work around the house but am anxious to get this installed in my car. I'm going to go with a Powerbond U/D before I get it installed and tuned by CMS. Let us know your dyno gains and I'll pass along mine.

I needed the "old man" cam also as I have to pass CA emissions. Damn them! Got it from Shane at TR as well. Good luck to you!

Yeah i will definitely post up my numbers. I called the shop today about getting it dynoed and tuned Monday and his schedule was full so i have to wait till WED to get in. I cant wait for tomorrow though. Im sick of waiting to get the cam installed.

Predator speced out a nice sleeper cam for me a while back. (218/224 114+4) I wanted to shift around 6500 RPMs. I ended up going a different route and chose my 224/228 112. I am competely happy with my setup and would not change it for a bigger cam. I love the bottom end with my stock gears and have plenty of top end. I consider my cam a small to mid size cam.
