Well considering my current build is a 222 duration cam on a 115. No im not a Size matters type of guy . But if were talking 454" Of cubes to fill. Yes. that's a baby *** cam. and one could be specd way better .

 

 

 

then you should probably try it out a bit before you worry about a cam. Jus sayyin

You still need to say what trans(converter if auto)/gear/weight because that or any cam isn't a magician to your fastness. It's only 1 part of the puzzle. And one of the lesser important pieces imo. Because even if the cam is super duper and nothing matches it then you still have a turd. But if other stuff is in line you can still have a decent running car.

 

Small for the Cubic Inch.

My LS1 from thre factory came with 190 duration cam.

Its apples to oranges tho.

For a comparison.. My 416" motor , N/A setup runs a 251/259 .649 110 LSA cam. and its on the larger side for my cubes. But pulls to 7000 and makes 574 rwhp through a 9".
So its working great

Id do a 25x 26x Cam in a 454 . if I was going for Big N/A Power.

Just my $02

What kind of racing you gonna do?

why with hold so much info? Do you honestly think the only thing that matters is the cam? Cause that's what it seems like.

 

 

Yes engine hp.

And hio is giving you good advice. Saying the same as chevelle and to a degree me. Your current cam is not bad. Are you leaving power on the table? Yes.

But for $1700 to swap the cam plus milling the heads for compression, that money might be better spent on the intake. And that way you dont sacrifice how nice it drives now.

For $1700 you could do a really nice lighter clutch and make a surprising change in how the car performs

 

Yea....that and gear be way more of a change in acceleration than a a cam ever thought about being.

 

 

I don't know why I thought the Fast 102 was the best intake on the market. Thanks for the insight. I have actually done a lot of research on the Mammofied MSD intakes and the gains are stupendous even from his ported Fast 102's. I would imagine going from a stock Fast 102 to Mamo's Ported MSD's would net an even higher gain in whp. The Harrop ITB looks heaven sent but no one in his right mind would buy an intake for $5000. Not me at least.

 

Just an update. I am actually extremely happy with the cam now. Met up with a few friends last night and did some back to back street racing on the highway (don't worry the roads were empty). The two cars I went up against were 2014+ Ford Mustang GT's Twin Turbo, heads, cams, headers, intake, cai. I suspect one of them was running race gas. You can definitely tell from the smell.
Anyways starting from a roll on 2nd, around 5000rpm, we got into it, I would take the jump, and then slowly one of the mustangs would pull away from me and just stopped pulling at about one to one half of a car ahead of me. The other mustang couldn't catch up as he was a second late in getting on it. Keep in mind the gas tank was 3/4 full and I myself weigh 220lbs and I had my brother in the passenger seat. He is also around 210lbs.

I was in shocked. I just wanted to test my car against some well known street cars here as that's the only way to tell how powerful your car truly is. The butt dyno doesn't tell much. I thought I wouldn't be able to keep up at all and that at minimum they would give me at least 8 car lengths or something. Everyone was in pure awe.
These guys are FI (twin turbo) one is 16 psi the other is 18 psi and I'm pure NA. one is pushing 680+whp and the other 700+whp.

We tried racing again and again, sometimes they would pull away a bit further when the adrenaline took the best of me and I wasn't shifting properly. But when the shift is on point they would not go any further than one to one half of a car's length.
One of them has always been a Z06 lover, he owned around 5 c6 z06's at different times before this twin turbo mustang. Soon as we pulled over he was like "now that's a real man's car not that (points to his mustang)".

Now I'm thinking what would've happened if I raced with a quarter tank of gas and had no passenger with me, AND shifted better. Adrenaline is a helluva a drug.
I only had this car for almost 2 months and rarely get on it to get used to WOT shifting. But from now on I will definitely be doing drills to improve my shifting. As I noticed they would only pull away when I shift.
For now, I am absolutely happy. Next mod would definitely be @Tony Mamo 's ported MSD LS7 intake, an LSX Super Pro Vacuum Pump Kit from GZ Motorsports, and then mayyyybe possibly a 100 shot of NOS.
Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to share the love.

Thanks

 

Happened to see this.....so my ported MSD is hands down the best HP per dollar mod going in an LS7 platform (30-35 RWHP gains are the average....more aggressive (or well thought out milder builds) have seen 40+)

Wanted alert you to the fact that MSD raised prices again at the beginning of December (when they typically do) and Im still offering them for my 2018 prices along with a Holiday discount as well

If you had planned on getting it reasonably soon consider getting me a deposit before the ball drops in New York in a few days!

Email me for specifics if you have any questions or would like to get one going!

Hope everyone is having an enjoyable Holiday week.....cant believe another year has gone by!



Cheers,
Tony

Agreed. Having flow tested a Tony Mamo ported MSD intake I think that's an awesome upgrade for your 454 over the Fast.

 

good stuff. But your expectations was way low. There are no na coyotes that should run with your car if all is right with both from a roll.......none.

yea and with the extended rpm range the msd offers he will easily be in front of that boosted coyote.

Then add gear with a light clutch for a knock out blow.
