Hello I am looking for a cam recomendation. Goals are:
450whp with stock ls6 engine with cam and bolt ons, drag and weekend car, and good choppy idle sounding. Thanks.

 

an MS3 from Texas Speed and a get them to port out your 243's. that should get you close. i had an MS3 in my Camaro and it sounded sick

 

my buddy made 420 rwhp with cam exhaust and tune only w/ AZPS03 Ed Curtis cam m6 f-body ls1

 

EPS 236/248 110 LSA. Should get you real close to 450 rwhp with an LS6.

 

That cam is abit big for a stock inch motor and would most likely have PTV issues. It looks like it would alot fun to tune

 

^ i was gonna say the same thing....heck im nervous about my ms4 clearin

 

Yeah, it won't clear.

But what will is the 234/246 111+3. That will put him within a few hp of the 236. That is the cam I suggest. It will walk on any magic cam you imagine.

 

What are you running that makes you walk on the magic cams ?

 

On what lobes????

 

On a stock LS6 motor (as in untouched 243's) I doubt you're going to hit 450RWHP. I mean unless you're talking about FULL bolt-ons with a decently sized cam and a great tune I doubt it'll happen.

 

I'm pretty sure I'm around 430 rwhp with unported 243 heads and a custom 224 cam. Now that I added a ported fast 85 and underdrive. I will know friday. I don't see why 10 extra degrees of duration won't gain 10-20 hp.

 

That is not going to happen. I have a ls6 auto with ms3 and full bolt ons. 12 bolt 3.73. It only put down 390rwhp. But did run 11.7 with 1.57 60 foot.

 

Not saying it isn't possible just highly unlikely. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a cam-only LS6 make 450RWHP on this board. I don't think Tony ever dynoed cam only on his 500RWHP recipe vette but I bet it would've hit 450 with stock 243's.

 

There is a cam only ls6 guy on here with a vindicator who put down 455 rwhp through a 9". His car is under the cam only list. Look him 98blueSScamaro, he's ran almost 127 mph in the 1/4.

 

Thanks for the helpfull replies. It doesnt need to be exactly 450whp, my goal is to just run 10s in a 93 RX7 and Ill need about 430+whp for that. And also yes, when recomending a cam, it cannot have PTV issues.

 

I'm going with PRC 5.3L stage 2.5 heads and a 228R 114lsa which should get me there. I have a LS1 in my FD and its so much fun I can't wait for the heads and cam to get here. :-) Good luck on 10's man. I hope you have plans for th diff if you plan on running slicks. The sec you get ANY wheel hop the thing is done. Ask me how I know. :-p I had all the bushings and trailing arms done up as well.

 

My brother made 430 with a 228/232 on a 112 camshaft on xer lobes in his 02 z06. Only bolt ons are headers and hurricane intake.

 

OP throw heads into the equation and you'll get your 450 no sweat.

 

eps lobes.

 

My cam would do it, but I do not know if it would fit. It doesn't need to in my combo as I'm running 58cc chambers and fly cut anyway.

ivo - 10
ivc - 45
evo - 56
evc - 11

.601 intake valve lift

rounding off.. according to the adcole report on cylinder 1.

Each set of lobes can and will be off a degree here and there on the duration, the lsa, the advance, and even be off a bit on the lift. Of course, this is just a $400 cam. If you want one to be exact on all cylinders you're going to be paying upwards of $2,000.

This cam shifts at 7000.
