Re: LG heads/cam dyno results Can't wait to see what they make with a ported intake. And oh yeah, the pistons were flycut right? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Re: LG heads/cam dyno results Thats all the info I need in one post. Had it been that clear a few weeks ago, I may have chosen that route instead of the competitors. If there is a lesson to me, it's to call and get the info...a lesson to LG...post it all upfront...then again, LG...your a marketing genius...and a good Head/Cam package builder as well obviously. Keep up the research...see you next year.

Re: LG heads/cam dyno results Very good #'s but also large #'s for a stock bottom end 346. That setup needs a 5-5500 stall and 7200-7300 shift points to optimize. I personaly would want some rods and pistons to keep it safe at those power levels and rpms. What about longevity at that power level/rpm with the stock internals????? Strong #'s for sure.

Re: LG heads/cam dyno results These are very impressive results but the flatness of the horsepower curve at the high end raises a question. If the goal is to extract maximum performance from a N/A engine with a stock bottom end, why wouldn’t it be better to arrive at a combination that peaks around 6000 rpm and has declined somewhat by 6800? One wonders how these curves would look extended to 7500 rpm knowing full well that the stock bottom end can’t be expected to remain intact there. My (admittedly inexperienced) intuition tells me that this head/cam combination is ideal for a decidedly non-stock, super-strong bottom end and that someone (perhaps LG) will do still better with a peak at lower revs.

That's 97% full power at 6000 RPMs. I fail to see the problem. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I had no qualms taking my stock bottom end to 6200 RPM's when I just had a cam.

Re: LG heads/cam dyno results I am not saying that there is a problem, I am trying to learn. I am simply observing that this hp curve is so strong at the point where it stops that I would want a set of super rods and higher revs. Any engine is optimized for some narrow rev range. LG’s engine appears to me to be optimized for a rev range that cannot be supported by the stock rods and crank.

Re: LG heads/cam dyno results Gary Z- the stock crank is more than adequate for the RPM level that we're looking at here. The rods themselves would appear to be as well, as there are plenty of folks shifting between 6700 and 7000.
On the other hand, the rod bolts are supposed to be the weakest link on the LSx motors and I wouldn't even hesitate to upgrade them if I was planning on spinning the motor past ~6000. Again, there are plenty of folks out there that are running the stock rod bolts and haven't had a problem, but methinks that's some cheap insurance.

Re: LG heads/cam dyno results I knew it would only be a matter of time before heads and cam # reached this level. That is awsome good work.

The best way to do it is with the pistons out of the engine on a milling machine, but there is a handy little tool made by Isky that works with a tap handle and slips within the valve guide for alignment that allows you to do it with the engine still in the car.
