Default AFR's New LS3 Camshafts

"We are proud to announce the release of 3 NEW camshafts to compliment our 260cc Mongoose LS3 cylinder heads. Whether you are got a Gen5 Camaro or a C6 Corvette, we can take your setup from mild to wild with one of these new bump sticks. All grinds are made using a billet steel core and are suitable for factory displacement engines ranging from 5.7 to 6.2. Installation will require the use of a 3 bolt style cam gear and bolts, AFR part #6010 (gear) and AFR part #6011 (3 bolts)."


Holdner just threw up a video testing them on a SBE LS3, pretty decent results

stage 1: 223/231 .605/.595 115LSA - 561BHP - 518lbs
stage 2: 227/235 .620/.612 114LSA - 575BHP - 521lbs
stage 3: 232/244 .629/.612 112LSA - 590BHP - 529lbs

Plus,the stock cam curve is not here, BUT all 3 AFR cams make more power EVERYWHERE all the way down the RPM scale.
Watch the Holdener video for those details.

Does he show anything below 3300 on the video? Why start at 3300?

Scott, I think he gives some detail on that in the video.

I didn't want to include the picture with too many pulls, it just gets muddled up!

Are these the same camshafts that were announced in March 2021? Did they just release them to the market?

These AFR cams resemble very closely some of the Cam motion offerings. At least two of the above are very similar to the Titan 3 and Titan king specs.

Wonder if they collaborated?

Curious what either of them chasis dyno with the cam and head combinations.
