I started a similar thread over on the "other" board about a year ago, and I just recently went back and could not find it :-/. I think that Raughammer was able to capture it at his website tho. Really good stuff. The trick is to combine all the info into a "poll" of sorts for each cam.
Otherwise, its good to see it back up and going, on the right board <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

comments :It hauls, sometimes I wonder about switching cams and if it would pick my car up more. If I can get better than a 1.8 60' it will go 11.4 or so, crappy weather too, but that's just my opinion. I like the cam, but like I said sometimes wonder if I should change. It does die on me some even with programming.

ET - 11.92 Nitto DR 120.19 mph raceweight 3,500 lbs
comments : the cam idles very well, it's almost annoying - I'd like it to be slightly more aggressive, however, I can not argue with the results! I am very pleased with the Hammer cam.

Computer reprogrammed - Yes, by Superchips
throttle plate drilled (size) - stock, never drilled
Goals - daily driven/drag racing - To have fun. Formerly a daily driver. Drag race some, autocross some.
idle/lope - Lopey
Which spring was used - LS6 springs
rwhp - Undetermined, awaiting dyno
rwtq - Undetermined, awaiting dyno
ET - Undetermined
raceweight - Unknown, but car is fully equipped when at track, no weight reduction performed.
comments : In this configuration, the car is great fun. Wonderful lope at idle, pulls very hard above 3,000-RPM's. Very streetable setup. I could drive it every day if I wanted to - rain or shine. I'm looking to try to reach 400-RWHP on stock heads as a goal... just for grins, as it seems that has not often been done. I'm hoping for around 380-390 RWHP when I get her to the dyno. Wish me luck.

JS, I thought you posted previously that your cam was on 113LSA?
I am just curious as that would affect what rpm your peak numbers came in. (112LSA would drop your peaks slightly)
thanks,
Chris

No chris I was wrong.
Its on a 112,not a 113.

I think the LS6 heads cause the car to peak (6500) alittle higher than the ls1 (6300) heads but I could be wrong.Anyhow I have a 2000 car which has the better GM rod bolts rod and will be shifting my car at 6800.

Raughammer did you say your heads are milled 60 thousandths? Do you have stock pistons with the C2 cam?
