Thunder Racing CheaTR cam only results Jason99T/A installed the CheaTR cam on his 125K mile WS6. His mods are nearly identical to mine except he has a Hooker catback and I have an SLP Dual Dual from an '02 Firehawk. Jason's results are with factory exhaust manifolds and cats. Thought everyone would like to see what the gains would be. Pretty solid gains both low and high. Impressive for a cam that is indistinguishable from stock. Specs on the cam are 215/230 .600/.578 117LSA 116ICL.

I have this cam on the way, my mods are in my sig, however i have stock heads. If i can find time, ill throw her on the dyno untuned and then do it after the cam again. Wont be the same day but it will be same dyno. What do you guys think? encourage me.
It looks like a nice street sleeper cam to mess with some cobras and such, but not great on the power. If stock like idle is the priority, looks great, but not for those going on a warpath for daily battle and weekend fun. Scoob, you like it, we may get it done in time to go dyno, like you dyno that morning pre-cam, then we'll swap and hit it again that afternoon. Tune and get final numbers????

Charlie, Sounds good, im running low on the dough though..so may be awhile.....my wife is no longer sponsoring my project 
Not sure what BSM will charge for the dyno time.
TT_Vert - I ordered this Cam May 13th, i was charged for it a few days ago, so im pretty sure its on the way.

Very nice!!! Any valvespring longevity concerns with that super fast intake lobe? Would yearly spring changes be required in your opinion?
How much power would be lost with say an XE lobe on the intake?

An XE lobe is a high rpm, high lift and does not add that much more life vs an XE-R.
That is why one should check the springs on a regular basis, kinda like changing oil. It is regular aftermarket cam /valvetrain maintenance.
A set of springs installed at proper height, with right lifter preload and correct length p-rod, will live longer.

I'm really impressed with this cam, but I do have some questions.
You say the cam is indistinguishable from stock. I had a TR 224 in my car before and I know they use pretty aggresive profiles. When you pop open the hood and listen to the motor does it sound stock or like a sewing machine? I like the power gains but I don't want any valvetrain noise from a stealth cam. LS6 cam is indistinguishable.
What are Jason's bolt-ons/mods? 329 rwhp from a 2000 LS1 is pretty high.
Thanks
