I have this bad boy cam and have sprayed a 150 shot on it, and it feels awsome, pulls great on bottom end and top end. Im about to put the jets in for the 250 after i get the new exhaust on but damn you will be happy.

Are you guys running the old version of the 233/239 or the new 233/239 Revision II Camshaft? I've got the newer version on a 113ls with a 150 shot and a set of AFR 205's should be ordered next week. Just bought a Fast 90 intake so I'm hoping for 430+rwhp thru a 3500 stall and 10bolt.. I bet this thing is gonna run like a raped ape on the juice..

I have a buddy that is running this cam and he made 546hp on a 150. It pulls really hard.

1QuickT-A, I just did the fast 90/90 with the 233/239 r.2 and PRC 2.5's and it made a huge difference. I won't get back to the dyno until later this week so I can't give any real numbers but my previous best was a 12.31 1/4. At the drags on friday I was able to beat a car that runs 12.1's by a fair margin about 4 times. So I am thinking the Fast gave me about 25-30 rwhp at least. Previous dyno was 398rwhp.

So, you made 398rwhp with the PRC 2.5 heads and the 233/239 cam thru a 6spd and ran a best of a 12.3? Or were those numbers from a different setup? Cause those numbers sound really really low to me..

I have a 233/239 cam and am wondering what the difference is between R1 & R2. Mine is 233/239 .603/.600 112 +2
Which one is it and what's the difference?

Thats why I'm sending my PRC heads back..
Im not pissed at all! That was through a stock LS1 intake and MAF. Its all about getting the right combination of parts. The heads can't work to potential if they aren't being fed right. The fast made a huge SOTP difference and I have no doubt its because its finally letting the heads and cam work. Im still sucking it though the 75mm MAF and SLP airlid. And that 12.31 is on a stock 10bolt with 3.42 gears. Im very happy with it and I think I am in the 11.85 area now. Ill post real numbers on friday when I get them.

Ok I didnt know you were running the factory Ls1 intake.. The stock MAF should not be a concern tho. With stage 2.5 5.3 heads, a cam that size, fast 90/90, and good driving skills you should be in the mid 11's with traction.. And 430+rwhp..

Hell i picked up 17 rwhp by simply replacing the maf with 3.5" tubing and some minor tuning.

Not everyone wants to run a speed density tune. And I would guess that not all the 17hp came from removing the restriction of the MAF, Im sure the tune was tweaked for performance.

I think mid elevens is definatly possible especially after I get the wideband 02 back in so I can readjust the air/fuel. The only thing that might stop it are the 3.42's.

Exactly...

Yes, it should do mid 11's if everything is setup right.. Not sure if it will do it with the 3.42's or not tho. Cause if you run on slicks the 3.42's will be a problem..
