Guys just wanted to thank PatrickG with the help on my cam setup
I bothered him,slowhawk,predator for what seems months
Patrick was a complete gentleman and answered ALL of my questions
Even some over and over again![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
He spec'd me a cam and I was all set to put it in but Comp offered me a great deal on any off the shelf grind in there catalog..It was basically free so I couldnt pass it up..
That being said,Patrick told me for what I wanted to do that the XER273HR14 was the cam..I then saw at least 4 of 5 dyno's using this cam in the last 4 weeks and after getting even more recomendations from Mike Norris,Spinmonster,RyanL I decided Patrick had a winner on his hands and installed in my 06 GTO..
Well it sure was what I wanted,Patrick hit the nail on the head as usual.
Car started right up,held the idle at 795 (I set idle prior to install w/EFI LIVE)
No Surging,no bucking at all..
Just a nice lope and a nice crisp revver,actually loped more than I would imagined...
It drives like stock with no tuning,I cant imagine it needing much more that a tweek to the idle fueling and wot fueling..I have already removed all the codes before I installed it that would cause a SES and so far not one code in 50 miles..
I am dialing the Ltrims now and then we will dyno tune it Thurs..
I cant tell u how happy I am for not putting in something bigger than this cam as its exactly what I wanted in a street/strip setup and my VIG 3200.
I will be adding a Fast and or Weiand to the car along with 3.73's
Thanks again for the cam help Patrick,U are a good guy![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

Thanks for the props Joel. It was truly a team effort for all those involved. When you have a nice ride like a GTO or C6, it's important not to go overboard and overcam. You did good brother!

Patrick G is the man and he has done awesome work for me and soon will be seeing a great post comparing 5-8 very popular LS7 cams and the one he speced for me is in there and definitely is the most powerful one out of the bunch.
