Default texas speed cams

Anyone have opinions/numbers with these cams:

- Texas Speed Torquer v2 - 232/234 - .595/.598 - 112 LSA
- Texas Speed Torquer v3 - 231/234 - .643"/.598" - 112 LSA
- Texas Speed XS Series - 233/239 - .595"/.603" - 112 LSA
- Texas Speed Magic Stick v3 - 237/242 - .603/.609" - 112 LSA
- Texas Speed Magic Stick v4 - 239/242 - .649"/.609" - 112 LSa

I will be calling Jon early this coming week about all the parts selection.

This will probably be the route I take because it will not require any flycutting either like the MS4 or Hellion cams.

My stage 2.5's came in at 65.8cc.I'm not sure how that happend.

I ran a 233/239 cam..That cam is for sale..I will be running a cam somewhere between an Ms3 & MS4 custom grind..For an off the shelf cam..MS4' work really well..You need 4.10s & a competent tuner to make it work.
I have a friend that runs an MS4 in his CETA..I works really well with his LS6 long block.

I thought I read it on this site somewhere. Perhaps I am getting confused. I would love to run the Hellion and may if I can only afford a cam install at the end of July/beginning of August. The cam swap would run about $1700 for just the parts (w/out install) :
- camshaft - $380 (TSP) / $450 (Hellion)
- hardened pushrods, double valve springs (seats, seals included), titanium retainers - $380
- timing chain - $36 / $130
- ported ls6 oil pimp - $140
- new gaskets - $50
- dyno tune - $275
- fuel injectors - $300
- fuel pump - $100

[Note: my numbers may be a little off as these are just estimates from one LS1TECH sponsor]

However if I go with heads and cam install then I may want to stick with all Texas Speed parts so that they can cut me a great deal (looking at about $2700+ in parts w/out install).

T-rex ,MS4 and the Hellion Great cams but you need to flycut the pistons with 5.3 heads cuz the 63cc
I would talk to Jason or Trevor at TSP they will help you alot.
studderin, this is where I read that you need to flycut the pistons.

Talk to Jon at TSP. I'm sure he knows. I will be talking to him early this week about the build-up.

Default tuning (SD)

Does anyone know if New Era does Speed Density (SD) tunes? I know they have HP Tuners software and a tune is $275, but can they do SD?

There is also a place called Eksten (sp?) Autoworks in Rochester, NY that tunes F-Bodies. Anybody had any experience with their tuning? Do they do SD tuning?

How about Kennedy's in Rochester, NY (or near Rochester, I can't remember off the top of my head). Any experience with a tune from them? Do they do SD tuning?

Any other places around Rochester, NY and the surrounding areas that I haven't mentioned above? Thanks guys.

Will I need 4.10's with the MS3 or XS Series 233/239? Reason I ask is because I won't have a spare $2000 around after spending $2300+ on parts for this buildup. Or are the 4.10's just recommended for better times on the track. I know they should drop ET's a couple (about .4) tenths, but am weary of the stock 10-bolt .

Default fuel system upgrades

Also what sized injectors would be ideal for this heads/cam buildup? I have seen people run 42lb. injectors, but will 30lb. injectors be fine? This will tack on another $300-$400 to the total price. Damn it just keeps adding up. Also factor in another $100 for a Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump. Should I get this set-up: http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=682&catid=10 or just the pump itself. The voltage increasing wiring harness is $100 more. Is it worth it?

Default rev limiter

What should the new rev limiter be set at with either the TSP XS Series 233/239, TSP Magic Stick 3 237/242, or the New Era Performance Hellion Cam 244/248. Thanks.
