Thats with a FAST 90/90 right?

I've got a 234/240 on a 113LSA. I also have ported and milled 243 heads. Forged 347 block and very happy. I put down 442rwhp through a 9" and LS6 intake

I make good power I think with my setup. 430/393, I'am an M6. My car has always produced slightly lower numbers on average compared to cars with similar specs.

I recommend TSP after my experience with them.
You made more power than I did! Mine is through 4.10s and an M6 but still you made more power.

In my '04 GTO, the 233/239 on 112 made 326/312 rwhp/tq on a mustang dyno. Everything else was stock except Gold Dual springs and hardened pushrods.

I love the cam, however.

Yep. I thought they were low numbers but whatever... That was with just the cam, K&N in the box filter, hardened 7.4 pushrods and Patriot Gold dual springs. Rob Raymer tuned it.

The first dyno pull put down 27x/26x after the mods and a quick tune.

To the OP, I love the cam. There was no PTV issues with everything else stock.

Yeah. It was stock at that time. Everyone thought it was funny seeing it at the dyno like that.

You have the LS6 stg 1 heads? Stock CC and do you guys have the older 230cc runner design? Do you have a dyno graph?
not to sound like a dick but your 1/4 mile time does NOT match with your trap....should be around a mid-high 11 second with that trap speed.....

Traction plays into that.

Thats the last thing on my list but if I came across a set of rear wheels on the cheap side I might pick them up and throw some MT ET streets on them

So how much can you mill a set of LS6 heads with safe ptvc w/o flycutting? 62cc? This is with using stock MLS head gaskets

To be safe I would mill none, run a stock gasket and stock size valves.

Well I hope it works for me then, TEA told me I could run a 61cc chamber on some stage 2 LS6 heads (2.04 1.57 valves) and not have to flycut, hope they are right

I have this cam on a 113lsa. IMO it has a great tune on it. With 3.23 gears in my 6-speed car (yes 3.23 gear...) I run 35 mph in 5th gear at 1000 rpm all the time. I drive it everywhere. In the last year I've driven over 26,000 miles in rain, snow, hot, cold whatever. Drives great, runs great. I will say with my gears it's kind of a turd down low, but you drop it into 1st gear at 45 mph and it's ready to wreck some ego's LOL. I would reccomend this cam to anyone. With mid length headers, STOCK 243 heads, straight off the highway made 412rwhp,392rwtq. I avg about 17 mpg, recent best on a 150 miles trip was 24mpg, little traffic and a few WOT passes.

It doesn't drive like stock, but IMO it drives very well. The car does shake at idle, and you get some prettyy dirty looks at stop-lights. When I have the cut-out open, people really get pissed. usually results in people rolling up windows at stop lights. Other wise they're asking if I got a big block or something stupid. LOL
