Default Ordering New Cam from Thunder

Thunder Racing LS1 Cam Swap Package Includes:
- Your Choice of Thunder Racing Custom Grind Camshaft - Comp Cams 26918 Valve Springs
- Comp Cams 772 Titanium Retainers ($100 Additional)- Thunder Racing Stock Length Pushrods (7.400) - Cam Swap Gasket Kit (Specify Year of Car)

I'm going for the 220-114 to help with SMOG in California. Here are my mods.

http://home.attbi.com/~wegetourmail/...ome.html-.html

I got a quote of 400 for install including tuning and porting my TB.

Is this a good mod? What gains might I expect? Is there a better 1100.00 dollar mod?

I'm getting the same cam and package that you are, and I'm going to have Dave at Black Magic Racing do the install aswell. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

As far as gains go, you should see close to 30 rwhp. If you had LT headers instead of ST headers, then you would see a little more of a gain. Their is no better mod for $1100 in my opinion. You will be very happy with this cam. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Oh, and I do know of a sound clip, which I could post here if you are interested. Of a 2001 Camaro SS with SLP LT headers, RT cats, wide open Borla, and the TR 220 114 LSA cam. It sounds bad a$$. Let me know if you want me to post the link here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

TR224/561@114 here.

Dropped 4 full tenths in the 1/4 by cam swap alone.

All before tuning.

Definitely happy with it.

Good luck, Stu
