The car idles perfect and doesn't sound rowdy compared to most cams smaller on a 112. I've heard 224 cams sound more aggressive than this cam. So it's a real sleeper.

any particular goal or plan with this setup or were you guys just testing **** out? tq looks good 350rwtq from 3500-6300 and hp peak isnt too high. how high would you recommend spinning and shifting this setup.

jrp,

Well pretty much trying to look at getting something more on stuff with dead stock heads and shortblocks with NO mods as far as having to go with the stock pistons. P to V is where most of the problems lie and then you have to test it out. I'd probably shift it around 6800-6900 since it pulls through there still making 420. The graph when you show both TQ and power has a glitch. I'll try and post another pic off of my Dynojet file viewer for Chuck.

Or anyone else can get some springs and cams and start measuring and running stuff on the dyno and street and then after quite a bit of time you'll know what you want too! Just joking but it takes more work then some know to make sure this stuff works (the specs are easy to come up with but that isn't 10 percent of making sure it will work) when you are pushing the limits as far as P to V or valve float etc. In the end people cam measure ANY of these cams anyway if they know what they are doing. You can figure out the recipe to coke and make your own too if you really wanted to and you'd save tons and tons of money.

Get ready for the "no specs" bashers. This is the same reason Ive been preaching as to why LG wont give up the specs on their cam(s).

Sounds like a killer setup!

So then this cam was designed to work specifically with a stock internal cars with bolt-ons, correct?

Very nice power.

Yes sir that's pretty much correct. It would work on others the same but again P to V might be too close on some engines depending on amount of milling or bigger valves etc. or it might still squeek by but with no valve reliefs at all things are always close with larger cams in these engines as everyone knows. LS1Tech may be the most cam knowledgeable site in the world! I think there like 100 cam threads at any one time.

Yes I know but I think Chuck is going to release specs at some point anyway so we probably will not really be that secretive. Our cams will not be extremely expensive or anything anyway.

Why would it make more power on a 01-02 car? You've already changed out the 3 things that improved over the model run...intake, headers and cam. Asides from that, very good numbers!

Could he just post the lift numbers to the nearest hundredth, and a range for duration. Or better yet the total amount of overlap at .050" so that we can figure out if it has any chance at passing smog?

What are you dynoing now? I'm not a real pacesetter fan for power. Saw -20 hp vs. Hookers on one car! So that would be the limiting factor. But I'd say realistically around 375ish.

The 01-02's have SLIGHTLY better flowing heads stock.

That's the next step. Once we finish R&D on our LS6's that we're working on now that currently flow 350 at .600, this car should be quite a monster for a heads/cam setup
