Right cam with new head flow numbers??
Right cam with new head flow numbers?? Currently rocking a btr4 (235/242 111+3) on my c5z (stock bottom end].
upgraded to a ported 90mm tb, ported fast 92, and ported 243s. Here are my head flow numbers:
.200 159.5cfm
.300 235.5cfm
.400 280cfm
.500 298.6cfm
.600 305cfm
.650 309cfm
.700 314cfm
.800 318cfm
Is this cam still optimal for my setup, or would I benefit from something different? Looking for the car to haul ***, this is a fun car for me, don't mind the big cam. I have a good tuner and it drives real nice.
now if I only gain 5 rwhp...
not worth it to me to change out the cam. If I can gain 20rwhp, I may consider it. Let me know what you pros think. Thanks

Impressive Intake #s, what are the Exhaust #s?
If your exhaust/intake ratio is 73%+ from .300-.600"
a 4* exhaust split should pick up some mid-range
torque(3000-5000 RPM) without costing you
HP up to 6500 RPM. Also what is the lift on that
cam? You might be able to go slightly smaller
and get same top-end but gain more driveability
with something like 231*/235*, 114*+3*, .620"/.600"
worth a discussion with Kip @ Cam Motion to hear if
it is worth the investment. Depends how much street
VS strip/track driving you do.
with ported heads,intake,tb I would expect to pick up
25+ hp and more importantly 15-20 lb ft from 3000-5000
over previous combo with above cam.
My .02 & worth what you paid, LOL.

He developed his own CNC program. And then he gave them a nice valve job. They are stock sodium filled z06 valves. And I'm not sure on the port volumes, I'll ask for that as well when I pick them up

Nice numbers!
Now lots of questions. What type flow bench? What size bore? Was this as 28 inches of pressure?
What did the exhaust flow?
Thanks for the kind words guys. To answer some questions,
port was flowed on a 4.030 bore on our superflow sf600 bench. 28" of depression is industry standard so that's where these were flowed.
as far as exhaust numbers go, I haven't flowed it as I feel the flowbench does not replicate what happens on a running engine as far as exhaust goes due to the huge pressure differential that comes from the combustion event.
feel free to PM me with questions. Or our shop number is 618-709-7717
