Re: Help me cook up a custom grind cam
93,
I'm glad your not taking my post as a slam to you.. Do me a favor and TTT the thread on Norcal that has the dyno graph since I can't find it.. I'm waiting to see another dyno with the A/F fixed and then track times. I'm hoping to have my TR224 in with in the next month. We'll see how it does..

Which TR224 did you get? The 112 or 114?

Re: Help me cook up a custom grind cam FYI,
He ran 111MPH at SacRaceway before the exhaust, pulley, LS6 intake, cam, & valvetrain.
That Boy's an Ex-Chp & swears he can drive...& he can...for a lefty.
The cam you have, & the cam he has both have the exact same overlap @.050 lift....therefore *theoretically* you both should have the same torque output given the same mods & VE's....but his VE's are vasty different then the TR cam you have. & that's were he has an advantage IMO.
But....it should still be a good race. Let me know when it is & I'll be there!

Re: Help me cook up a custom grind cam Will do.. With a lid, MAF ends, no cats and hooker aeromax muffler I've gone through sacs traps at 13.0/110mph on a 2.2x 60. Should be a good race.

Re: Help me cook up a custom grind cam
Elgin has race proven cams and he really does create his own lobes.
You say a small shop can't produce as good of results as comp. I just proved you wrong with the Elgin example. TR has many proven cams as well, so does LG, and Cartek and many other sponsors on this board. Why is it sooo hard to believe TR uses their own lobes. If Deema does it, why can't TR?

Bringing this back to life.... How are these special cams doing now?
395 hp isnt that impressive, how does it run when its right?
Ive made 395 hp with a 6 year old Lunati B1 cam only, no ported TB, full belts, no tricks stock everything except for lid/headers/pulley/cam. Making 395 hp at 6100-6400 isnt that hard its making torque where you need it 4300-6400) that is. Some othercams that have made 395+- 4 hp on same dyno: TR224 112/114, XE224, XE-R224/112, FMS 224/230/112, 221/221/114 Lunati. For example though, the 224/230 killed the B1 from 1500-6000 then they met.
On auto cars, had a 230/224 true duals/all boltons, and another one of my 226/226 cams/boltons loudmouth, and the 226/226 killed it up to about 6100. That car didnt have a pulley at the time, and it later gained another 14 hp with that and some more tuning
93 Pony, I fully agree with you on your lobe design intake vs exhaust, Ive run mild exhaust lobes for a while with no power loss, and easier on valvetrain.
