I've been running a 232/228 @ 108 for a couple of weeks now. I like it. I mean, I really like it!

I changed from a 224/224 @ 112. Nice, but too nice for an M6 with a non MAF tune.

I've got an engine dyno sheet with stock valved LS1 heads. Here

Still, not bad numbers in the least.

The +4 is going to make it close.... Id Clay it for sure. With a 2.02, you would be close, on a stock valve you wont be AS close. Should make for a fun ride! <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

On my simular cam with stock valves, I placed a 1/4" thick piece if plasticine on the piston and the stock valve didn't even touch. (miles away) and that was with no gasket.

BTW you should have a tune with any mod.....

I would. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

It's funny how when I was running the 232/226 .595/.584 lsa 110 cam I was getting much lip.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I ended up selling the cam and there is a happy customer in Houston right now. No one wanted to listen.. It was for sale for quite some time for $275 and now that person is going to be wearing some of you guys out on the street and at the track... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Looks like it is a dud below 4000, and where did power peak? It looks like it was still climbing at 6500.

LS1derfull,

Ramping started at 4k. It certainly isn't a dud below 4k as it has more down low than my last cam. At the final installed position, it stopped making power at 6,500. I've got some other graphs still in the dyno, I'll get them printed next week and send them to you.

I'm not sure what the heads flow at, not tested. Idle quality isn't too bad either. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
