Default Cam change

I am trying to decide if I should keep my current cam which is 224/228 534-537 114 or switch to the TR 224/224--114. The TR cam has been sitting in my closet for about 6 months now along with push rods and springs. My current set up only made 360hp and 372 torq. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> The computer is set up for a 150 shot if that has anythying to do with it.

The two cams are kind of a push... aint they.

Your car has headers?

Dang!!!!!360 in a H/C car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

My guess is that someone set your car up real rich for the spray. You should be real close to 410RWHP with that setup.....Especially in a M6.


Who did your tuning?

Yeah I am guessing your tuning is conservative for the nitrous. What is your compression ratio?

I have 6.0L heads that I was thinking about having ported and maybe seeing if ThunderRacing would let me exchange the 224 for something bigger, since I never even opened the box. Velocity Motorsports installed the H/C setup, they told me the cam was small thats why my dyno #s are low. I never use the nitrous maybe I can have that taken off the computer.

The tuning was done by (VelocityMotorsports) a company called Eclipse. I haven't taken the car to the track to see what it would do.
