Cam for L92 Heads: Lessons Learned
I can run my car down to 600RPM in 6th and pull off cleanly. Putt through the neighborhood in 4th gear at 25MPH. No bucking - no surging at all. OL at idle and CL abouve that. Runs perfect!

I've seen a **** ton of bad cam selections for L92's.Just redid a 402ci with L92's. A sponsor sold a H/C setup for him and the car would idle like crap,drivability down low sucked and a huge dip in power across the midrange.Cam ended up being a 238/240 on 112. We changed it to a 228/240 and gained 20hp/20tq across the rev range,smoothing out the dip and the car idled/drove like stock.
right now i have a 232/246 115+4 and down low it is very choppy. if im in 6th gear and below 2200 rpm, its surging and bucking a bit. makes me hate the car and just want to buy a new z06 and leave it alone. maybe I should try a smaller cam like you all have. Should i run alot or little of overlap
i currently run a 416 with ported L92 heads

First cam was a big split but the compression was to high - 12:1 - to add enough timing for it to work well. Second cam was a 234-240 112 +0 XE-R cam that worked very well. The new cam just works better.

I just have to ask. WTF is a Justin Timberlake cam? Is that like a dick in a box?
I have always posted my cam specs
232/236 600/600 113lsa which is different than 99% of the people with L92 heads.
But.......
Kind of hard to argue with the hp and timeslips I have considering it is a stock LS2 bottom end and it is in a GTO that weighs a ton and still has the stock tranny and IRS.

People use the names but never give the specs, which is the only important part, who cares about the name! The name is for marketing, PERIOD. Hes just making fun of them.
You did good to get this info. WKMCD aka JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE seems to work with Jack Bauer and CTU regarding cam specs.
But yeah... he needs to keep it a sercet only those that join the club can get true vodoo cam specs.
For the price of admission.

The JT cam is really just calling BS on people who buy cams based on names and "I want it to lope hard at idle" mentallity regardless of whether it makes "good" power. I couldn't think of a more rediculous name for a cam.
Hes like me, I guess. I hate named camshafts. "Vindication" "GX5003RP50" "Anayalator v2.53" "Stage 18".
