The cam has been put in a few vettes anf F-bodies in the Texas area. Most where paired with the GM CNC Ls-6 heads. I've heard of 460+ rwhp from this combo. A few of the guys from TSP have much better info than I do. I hear the idle is nasty! No cruising under 2500 rpms either.

Hey Cal!

I'm joel, Bink is a nickname, Car is an 01 Z06.

Yeah, I have it, along with the SDPP/LPE/SCCA LS6 Heads. Stock bottom end 346. LGM headers.
Took me from April '03 until about 3 weeks ago to get it tuned relatively well. First attempt at tuning - a challenge! (Never would have got it without coaching and an education from guys like Cal, TXNC5, ChrisB, Gojo, YellowZ06 and of course NoGo - he is The MAN ).

Anyway, I haven't dynoed it yet, so I'm of no quantifiable help. I'll dyno in the spring and post results...good or bad. Sorry.

Idles much better than I thought it would at 1200 RPM. Starts to "run on the cam" at 2000 RPM - 3.42s, don't use 6th much. I don't think it's street manners are bad at all...contrary to popular belief. Pulls like mad thru 6800 RPM - stock bottom, I don't go to 7500 like the World Challenge guys.

I think it screams (literally, interior noise is great! - it howls! ). I have little to compare it to though. FWIW.

Hope this helps some.

I pulled up the old Cup cam thread - there are some dyno #s from LGM at the end of it. Challenge cup car. FWIW.
