Finally pulling the trigger on parts!
I guess my 235/243 111+2 doesn't make the cut....
Tooley is my buddy and all, but I just don't see that 460rwhp number being 100% genuine.
There is no magic cam that will give you 30rwhp more than what most combinations make even with a guy named Brian Tooley behind the cam specs.

It was in a Z06, I don't know if the headers are a better design than a f-body or it dyno's higher because of the drivetrain setup. I have the dyno graph somewhere.

I've seen that 460 number out of the G5X3 cams before. And any 234/242 or similar cam is a "G5X3" cam lol.
Martin, since my ptv is going to be close as it is, I'm definitely doing a bigger cam. I'm still debating the tuning, I might just go Polluter and get HPT and let Jonathan help me out with the tune.
Do you guys rent the tool out?

Jake, the right heads, as we've seen w/ Dr. Whigham, 460 can be possible. Below is a link to a buddy in our Vette group that has 471rwhp &440ft-lbs w/ non-ported 205 AFR's milled to 59cc and a G5X1-E cam. The G5X1-E was a reverse split cam that's pretty small. I don't believe LG offers it anymore, but here it created great power on this setup. With your build I don't see why you couldn't get there using a bigger cam. I probably should add, this Vette's LS6 does have less than 30k miles on it.

This is probably the cleanest C5Z in the country.

If you would like more info on the C5 Z06 that made 460 rwhp you can contact Andrew Rubio at Performance Motorsports in St James NY. I think his phone number is 631-366-2152. The C5 Z06 that made 450 rwhp on a Mustang dyno is actually a completely different car from here in Ky. You can contact DK Goodrich in Fort Knox Ky at 859-421-3334 about that car. I can tell you that he was very impressed with it.
I have several of my cams ground in bulk, I believe grinding them in bulk yields more accurate timing events.
Martin also sells BTR cams, isn't that right buddy?
I don't know. He had it on two maybe three different dyno's. Dyno jet was 460 and mustang dyno was 450. If there's more to it he didn't elaborate.

I would love to do a big nasty Bullet Cam for you.

I hope you hit 500 Jake. That way I can bring you to tears when I break it... 
Hopefully we can shoot over to State Capital Raceway after the tune and run em.

Same here. I'm gonna run it till it blows. I'll be getting an S60 as well though from Carl @ CRP. Only difference is my wife gave me permission 
Can't wait to see how all this turns out brother. It's gonna be stout, that's a given.
