Default Pat G Torquer Cam Installed!!

Holy crap, I'm MORE THAN HAPPY!!!!

This cam is VERY, VERY streetable!!! It inly chuggs in first when you're trying to creep, but other than that it hardly chuggs at all! Very tame when you're not on it, even in the un-tuned state as mine is in (Waiting on TR to get back to me about the tune)..

Anyway, I took it out in the middle of the empty desert earlier this evening to see what it had... HOLY **** I WAS SHOCKED!!!!! From a U Turn Turn around, 1st and 2nd were fast as usual, 4th went just as fast as 3rd, I shifted to 5th,looked down and I was doing 140!!!!! It seemed to take about 10 seconds..

H/C INSTALL MODS
LS6 P+P'd Heads
ARP Head Bolts
Patriot Dual Gold Valve Springs, Titanium Retainers and locks
New NGK TR55 Plugs
MSD Superconductor Wires
Comp Cams 7.400" Chromemoly Pushrods (measured correctly)
Comp Cams Hex-adjust Timing Set
ARP Cam Bolts
Thunder Racing Ported LS6 oil pump (50 PSI oil pressure at idle, w/ thicker O ring too)
Thunder Racing Custom Grind Torquer Cam 224/228 .637 .640 110LSA +0
ASP Under drive pulleys (on back order... Darn it all)


On to the good stuff... Only one vid so far... Fresh install..

awesome! 224/228 is an excellent cam. I installed one on an 02SS w/ AFR 205s and it put out 430rwhp with an awesome tq curve. Good for you!

Pat is the man. He spec'd me a 226/230 .609/.588 on a 111+1 and it is a killer cam. Went 11.98 at 117.7 today on a shitty 1.81 short time. Other mods are in sig.
