Yeah i dynoed at STP, NX150 wet shot single shark nozzle (only actually get 130 from it though). I have done a few more boltons since then though. I do my own tuning too. I layed the same numbers down at a dyno in texas.

 

Okay, enough with the small talk, anybody else have opinions?

 

Yeah if they wanna do it then have fun with it. I just wouldnt want them do be dissappointed if it doesnt do anything or for that matter makes it worse.

 

exactly...they cam out with the 01-02 cam to because customers were comapling the LS1 didnt have any low end power...The 01-02 cam brought the power down a little, while still givng the same kind of power up top, plus it had the LS6 intake to compensate...I would save another 400, and get a used 224 cam and valve springs if you are on a budget.

 

I wouldn't do it, going into an engine is always a risk. Nick a bearing, drop a lifter etc. all for trying to gain an extra 10 rwhp. The risk wouldn't be worth the reward to me but but you could probably pick up 10 rwhp. The difference in the lift is about that same as you would get stepping up to a 1.8 rocker and you get a little extra duration but not much.

 

He doesn't want to spend any money on cam right now, that's why it's a free shot at a little power, and when you add in waht an ls6 will give a 98-00 car, and subtract that from the numbers on a 01-02 car, then it makes me think there might be somehting there since that is two of the three or four big differences in between the years. RIGHT? ANybody else? And how much will the only significant difference in the cams make, the LSA! IT is pretty significant. What does this change?

 

Factored in just getting him to buy some slp rockers with a 1.85 or so, but the money!!!!! almost five hundred for them and none cheaper than three. This is just cheaper and i got pen magnets and smooth hands for the cam

 

find a z06 cam for 50 bucks and put that in

 

All the 119 LSA is going to do is give it a nicer idle and move the powerband down more in the rpm range. And the lifts and durations are pretty much the same.

 

well here is how i look at it, you are not spending any money buying the cam, and looking at the specs it it obviously better, not much but hey you didnt pay for it and i know you have nothing to do on the weekend. and its really cool how someone says not to do it and they dont even have a car that runs so i say just do it, it cant hurt

 

Stock springs work, or need bigger?

 

98SS1LWEE, how do you like the torquer 2? I am about to order one.

 

How do you figure that one of those cams is better than the other? What tells you that?

Yeah my car doesnt run because its getting a forged motor and head/cam setup. Wow im really sad, lol.

 

stock will work.

 

So far, it's awesome, but i need a tune really bad. Idle makes me hard though, if that says enough. Really feel the difference after 2 grand. I say do it, worth every penny so far

 

alrighty, thanks

 

the specs tell me that but hey i dont have a forged motor sitting in my garage. so i dont know anything

 

MAN im reading this and he started this thread asking a simple question because he wants to help his friend gain a couple horses for cheap and you pretty much call him stupid. i think its stupid to ask if you dont know, its people like this that ruin forums. if you think it stupid to do this then thats pretty much saying its stupid to do free mods but you probaly dont have any, and he does have a point why dont you have a faster time?

 

Okay, another question??? Z06 CAM ! ! ! How mucha gain would he be looking with this cam? Would this get me 20?

 

The specs?? They are basically the same, lol. The only difference being LSA, the 99 has more seperation which would actually take away top end.

What does my little forged 347 have to do with this anyway?
