if the shelf cam's that you find arent the specs that you like and you want to do a custom grind based on your own specs that arent a regrind (would be cut from a new 408 steel billet core), let me know, i am friends with people who can get that done for you. I specced my own cam based on alot of research and I am very happy with it.

not sure yet, i do want to get it on the dyno soon but the weather here is ****, no point in running on the dyno or at the track when its in the 90s with 90% humidity. I can tell you that my grand prix which would have otherwise ran low 14's with the stock LS4 5.3, ran within a car length of my buddies 04 GTO which currently runs mid 12's, from a 40 roll. A massive increase in power and the top end pulling power was just insane. And i have done nothing to it other then the cam, OBX shorty headers, and an intake from cold air inductions. It pur's nicely.

i do want to point out that we are the red headed step child of the LS family lol power is usually alot lower on these car's because of the 4t65e compared to what a RWD 5.3 would make connected to any other RWD trans.

The problem with the cam that you have is in a 5.3 with that duration figure the ECL is way too wide. Even with the 110 ICL. I can see why it only pulls up high.

Listing the details of the car would help the experts a good bit.

Auto or manual? If auto what converter?
What rear gear and tire?
What bolt ons? (headers, intake, etc)
What timing and air/fuel are you tuned at for WOT?
Are you sure everything is mechanically sound and you are getting WOT at the throttle blade?

Could be any number of things leading to subpar performance. Also always possible the regrind cam went flat or wasn't ground correctly in the first place.
