Engine dyno cam comparison article + fast 102
Not sure if this is already posted or not but this has some great info.
They dyno the stock cam, 224/230, 231/239, vindicator 240/244 and a custom 237/247 115 which made the most power. They also tested the fast 102 vs the LS6.
Great article: http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...est/index.html
Here is part 2 where they test a few more cams (futral cam motion grinds) and a set of new patriot predator heads

With all the daily questions about "which cam should I run?", I assumed some people would like to see the difference in torque curves from stock, small and large cams?

I might be a bit out of the loop, but it bugs me how no one has done a direct comparison between a stock l76 and a fast 102 without any other changes. (back to back) Itd be an easy job for a speed shop or anyone getting one installed to do.

PHEMONIC-I Posted long ago when i had l92 heads a l76 intake vs a 102 intake results. I gained like 2hp and that was all. It really did nothing on my car for the money,it is not better then a l76,at least not on my set up.People say it was because i used the 90mm-th body for both intakes and the 102mm th-body would of helped. But,i wanted to see what the intake did....NOTHING on my car.. I now have trickflow 235 and a mammo ported 102 on it and still using the 90mm th-body.The trickflow made a nice gain over the cnc l92 heads and worth spending the extra money on.

awesome articles. i wonder about the 241s that were already on the car, though.
i also figure the monster 115 lsa cam would've had a much broader/smoother curve had they spent the time to optimally tune it. also...where is the trex? i want to see the decade old comp cam technology decimate!
the 21 hp gain from adding those heads is ridiculous. on a big cam only/fast 102 motor you could prob see 20 hp @ the crank from an underdrive pulley and removing the air filter.

Gained 30rwtq. Curves looked good to me. My graph is posted in the dyno section.
