The cam is not a bad match to the heads, but so what?

With that much exhaust duration, it sounds like a nitrous grind.

Whose ported LS6 heads? What kinda car is it for?

Default Re: what do tou guys think of this cam

the heads were done by Pete at "CNC"
NOT for nitrous
01 WS6 m6
compression will be around 11.3

this head/cam combo on a vette put down 430 rwhp running very rich with 10.7 compression

I figured with his extra drivetrain loss, my higher compression, tuning at cartek on dyno, my grott's (not sure what headers he had), and carsounds highest flowing cats (if I remember corectly the vette reused stock or not so great after market cats) 450 rwhp should be achievable

what do you guys think?

I posted because I've never seen anyone running this cam

thanx

I don't know what seat duration is (I have the specs from comp if it would be on there)

it has 0 degrees of advance ground in

by the way the valve sizes are 2.050/1.60

thanx guys

Yes seat duration should be on there if you wouldnt mind posting info, thanks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Also if you can tell us duration at .200" lifter travel i can give you informed opinion of cam you chose.

Default Re: what do tou guys think of this cam

how does it compare to say a : XE-R? from what I've been reading, I think they're similar

if so how does the power compare to some of the ones you guys are running? say the 2 thunder cams.

thanx guys

I think that is an XE-R, don't know of any other Comp profiles like that. If you are ditching the cats and have free flowing exhaust, the extra exhaust duration isn't going to help.

If I may chime in my XE-R lobe chart says the .200 lift duration is:
224 XE-R lobe is 146 @.200
228 XE-R lobe is 149 @.200
I hope this answers the questiion asked.
