New HPE "S" cam!
New HPE "S" cam! We at HPE have just finished initial testing of a new monster gorilla LS1 cam! And the results look promising!
We put the NA-S (aka, the "S" cam) into a bone stock 99 Camaro SS. Stock this car put down 306 hp, and 317 ft lbs of torque. After our header/intake/cam package, this car came alive and made 422 hp, and 384 ft lbs of torque. Not bad for a 99 model. In a 2001-2002 car the numbers should be about 10-15 higher, and LS6 heads should really lay the smack down.
The cam is on a 115 lobe seperation, and peaks at 6400-6500 rpm. Idle is very tame sounding at 800 rpm. Power is up everywhere over 2500 rpm compared to stock.
Here's a video of it idling at about 1000 rpm.
Here's a video of it making a pull.
Dyno graph of the pull...
This cam should fit mildly milled heads, but like any other large cam, you'll want to check to be sure.
Price will be 399.95 once it is released.
Also soon to be released will be our new "R" cam made for nitrous. We're still testing, but the results are looking very promising!! Ask jruss on the board how he likes his
It's a little smaller on the intake side, but about the same on the exhaust as the S cam.
