You probably won't see a big power gain, but the gains will be noticeable, and the idle will definitely have more thump to it versus the TRAK.
Well, that's the one I was Eyeballing in the first place, I really love the Mid-range/higher power because I drive a lot in the Autobahnn, so I'd figure I ask, I'll let you know when I'm ready for the purchase, also do you ship APO, USPS (Military in Germany)???

Hey justin, can you put some results of the cam once you get it installed, are you planning to have it Dyno tuned?

We ship world wide, BUT the cam will have to come from comp to us, then from us to you which will be a slight extra charge in itself.

Of course I'm having it Dyno tuned, and yes I will post graphs & Idle vids. BUT....We still have another month of snow, so timing of installation & Dyno is a big ? hopefully asap.

I like my cam, sounds good, drives great, Scares small children, Eats kittens etc.

My cam has badass midrange and will straight up **** up any similar modded car at the track while being full weight.

A lot of people have an issue with the way cams idle, Especially the older generation, Keep in mind I'm only 19, So my definition of "streetable" differs from others. But Having owned about 6-7 different cams in different LS motors throughout my life, (It might be my setup), but this is one of the TAMEST cams i have driven.

LOL@ eats kittens LMAO!

Your car always impressed me with the time its able to run for what it dyno'd and with your gear, weight, low compression and from what you have said lightly ported heads. I still think with a little work to the 60 foot and 330 you can go low 11's and damn near 7.0 in the eighth. You already went 7.40's at 94mph iirc. Goes to show dynos and autos dont agree.

I've got a buddy with a bad *** ls2 in a 3400-3500lb. 3rd gen, tfs as cast heads, 235/243 112+3 cam, fast intake with a stalled auto and it made 420ish rwhp locked, but runs 6.90's@99mph with a 1.5x 60'.

AWESOME! Thanks for the order Ronny! We'll get it boxed up and shipped up pronto!

Did you not need valve springs, push rods, timing chain, oil pump and gaskets/bolts for the install also? We can make it a one stop shop if you wish!

What applications do you have for heavier vehicles?? I have a regular cab silverado (4000-4200lbs) witg an aluminium 5.7, milled stock 243's, circle d 4000-4200, 4.56 gears and currently running an 224/227 on a 110+2... Its currently at my tuners shop getting tuned.

Im expecting it to run low 12's as it sits but my future plan is sending my 243's in to AI for their 226cc program and get the compression closer to 12:1, possibly a new cam and get a intake that i am still undecided on since most intakes you will lose torque down low!

Overall goal is 11.50's NA which i know is possible! Which cam would you recommend if i were to make a swotch? Bottom line this truck HAS to 60" 1.57-1.61 NA to achieve my goals.

I would put a FAST 92 or a LS6 intake on it so you don't lose any bottom end. The cam you have now I like, but I don't think it will E.T. like you want it to. I think either one of my SNS Stage 2 cams would be the way to go, but then again I don't really think you're going to see that big of a difference between the two. It might be enough, I just don't want you to be disappointed in the results. I tell customers all the time that there is no magic camshaft. If the duration and LSA is similar the difference will be small. I've seen guys go from 224/224 sized cams to T-rex sized cams and only gain 15-20rwhp.

If it's a stock cam running 7.40's it's gonna go low 7's if not 6's with a cam installed.

Hmmm, it might be?

Untuned 870rpm idle. We're going to knock it down to 800rpm and let it lope a little more.

Does that dirty bastard know you posted a video on here yet? My car and parts are being dropped off tonight for the install and tune. Should be finished up by Tuesday. Can't wait to here the SNS Stage 2 cam in person. I think I'm going to ask my builder/tuner to set the idle around 750 if possible.

It might be a bit too slow at 750rpm, but try it out and see. It's all what you like not me! I think at 800rpm it will be perfect, I think FEAR LS sounds just right and he said he was bouncing between 820rpm-850rpm.

And no, he doesn't know yet!!! He will soon enough though lol!
