We will get our buddy (MR. POWELL) to make a sound clip and vid, he's good at that stuff.

 

try to get an accurate figure, since i have a feeling WOT will happen quite often

 

Nice #'s man, congrats!! I was pretty close when I told you 400hp and 380tq! enjoy your new found power!
with a 50/50 mix of highway and stop & go driving, I avg. 20mpg

 

i'm glad this thread came up. i just wished it was brought up sooner before i put the hotcam in my SS. Dont get me wrong the Hotcam is nice but i need more midrange/top end power and that torque curve is very nice. I guess I will be spending more money now on the cam swap. But then again with any toy there's always an excuse to spend more money HA

 

If anybody in houston wants to save on labor for a cam or head/cam install me and my buddy will do it a lot chaper than any shop!

 

only if u were in san antonio ....damn!

 

drive down here and leave us your car. it would only take us a weekend with good weather to do it.

 

thanks for the offer but i'm doing the swap with a buddy.

 

where r u guys getting your 7.425 pushrods and timing chains from? Other than springs, which I already have, that's all I should need for my ASA swap, right?

 

i think thunder carries 7.425's. many of the sponsors carry the ls2 chain also. you're going to need new gaskets and crank bolt.

 

Yep, pushrods from thunder, ls2 chain from scoggin dickey, you might as well change your oil pump because it has to come out anyway to get that new chain in.

 

Yea go ahead and change your oil pump while your down there, that way you dont have to worry about it later. Thunder has their own pushrods really cheap. Actually I bought the timing chain from Texas Speed. All the gaskets were found on Scoggin Dickey.

 

any sound clips yet?

 

no clips yet. hopefully by this week if not this weekend. i will be going on a cruise with some buddies that have cameras , hopefully i can get a sound clip w/ video.

 

arent the ls6 pushrods 7.425? i know the ls6 basecircle is slightly smaller than the ls1 base circle, but never found the answer to the ls6 pr question. if your really strapped for cash, a set of ls6 prods would do well, since the ls6 redline is at 6500, im sure they would be safe to use

 

LS6 cam has smaller base circle, but the ls6 valves have longer stems which result in 7.400" push rods. When you mix ls6 cam with stock ls1 length valves then you need a longer p-rod.

 

so does the same go for the "LS6 Hot Cam"?

 

has anybody ever ran the asa on nitrous? how do yall think it would do?

 

Everyone seems to agree that 7.425 pushrods help quiet down the valvetrain, but should I expect a little more noise even with longer pushrods? With my crane roller rockers I already have the 'sewing machine' sound, would that become more obvious? I don't want to sound like a pansy about noises, I'm just trying to get a heads up on any noises that are common with a cam swap so I don't get to worried about any new sounds. And what about gas mileage?? I havn't heard from any ASA owners yet. How much is it gonna hurt my gas gauge?

 

Ive been wanting to know this for the hotcam and asa cam, and still havent gotten a 100% answer
