Default Ordered my eps cam today!

Asked Patrick G. to spec me a cam for my c5 (mods in sig) and this is what i got; 226/230 .598/.609 111+2 eps lobes for the intake and lsl for the exhaust. Called Geoff at EPS today and got it ordered, now the waiting game. I'm a very impatient person so the next 2 weeks are gonna drag by. Geoff at EPS is a pretty cool dude, great customer service.

There are buttloads of guys running that cam now. I've had mine for a little over a year and love it.

I did a few Google searches, nothing too in depth, and found a couple people with it. Your the first I've found with actual numbers posted. Glad to see them, I was hoping for around 410-420 to the wheels...

If you were hoping for 410-420 at the wheels isn't that a good thing, since he is making 414RWHP?

I can see what your saying, how much did he have before the cam install is the real question. I'm curious what the cam adds as far as whp. I trust Patrick G wouldn't steer me in a bad direction. As long as the car drives like a boh ill be happy.

My car with full bolt on and stock exhaust put down 352rwh on a mustang dyno. After the EPS cam it made 401rwh. Then I swapped on a FAST 92 and picked up roughly 15rwh and 17rwt. I just currently swapped out the stock exhaust piping so I would guess I am in the neighborhood of 418-420rwh. I will find out soon being I am having another dyno done soon. It pulls hard through out the entire RPM range. Don't need to spin it to the moon to make power. It's a great street/strip cam.

It really is for a mild cam. You should have no problem reaching your goals. Keep an eye out for a FAST 92 or 102. I was amazed how much seat of the pants power it added. Big difference over the LS6. Top end pulls and pulls.......
