Default Speed inc SI5 cam

Finally cammed. SI5 231 237 .589 .595 112, ls6 intake, kooks 1 7/8, ory, loudmouth. Put down 402hp 390tq and the only other thing i needed was a new fuel pump and I went with the aeromotive 340 stealth one. A month later the fuel pump died but it was all taken care of and i can enjoy it more once we figure out this o2 problem.

Too heavy IMO. Look at aftermarket with light flywheel.

Sounds great at idle, have almost the same setup with a TRex. I am ditching the LM setup though, way to nasty on the move and is starting to draw too much attention.

Ya think? lol. You'd probably like the Borla stingers. They seem to muffle it down a bit more than the loudmouths but sound wicked WOT. Sorry to hijack thread.

I looked into the SI5 and SI6. A lot of good numbers on them. I ended up with the Tsunami (235/240)

Thats a good point lol. When i first got full exhaust i loved it, but now i can't get up to the speed limit semi-quick without being loud as ***** and ehaust wrapping and echoing off everything nearby. I still love going through tunnels and scaring people with it though I was thinking about some stingers as well too..maybe next year.
@ldyzluvdis06 Yeah im running speed inc's 5/16" 7.4 rods. PAC beehives .625 lift, ngk copper plugs, msd sc wires, trunion upgrade, slp heavy duty oil pump, Gen III double timing chain, and a aeromotive 340 fuel pump.

p.s. here's the graph.

If you want a new muffler look at the Magnaflow Race muffler or Borla XR1. Both sound awesome on cammed cars but not annoying like the lM1

My bad but no underdrive pulley and its the stock tb no porting or anything either, but i definitely thought the torque was 390 but its 381. I want to just break 400tq with some small stuff. This graph should work though lol.

Nice numbers and nice curve. 400tq cam only is tough to get
I have the same cam got it fished 2 weeks ago. I really need to get a real y pipe and maybe some bigger headers. I have a home mad y pipe and it has sharp bends I think it is holding my power back. I will post my graph in a wile
