Default Katech Torquer LS3 cam test results

This camshaft was tested last year by GM High Tech (http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...son/index.html) and scored very high overall in each category. We wanted to get some data on our own engine dyno to show the results with WCCH ported LS3 heads and validate our LS3 Camaro & Corvette head/cam package.

Engine: LS3
Camshaft: Katech Torquer LS3 224/236 .581/601 113LSA
Heads: WCCH CNC-ported LS3
Dyno headers
C5-R timing chain
Halltech air intake system
Everything else on the engine is stock

531hp, 480 ft-lbs

Great results! I am so happy with my LS7 torquer cam that if I ever do a stock ls3, I will use this cam without hesitation.

I think the midrange torque is everything and people get to hung up on the peak numbers...this cam will surprise people for sure.

Nice job guys.
