I agree. This cam is best suited for the sleeper guys. Im excited to see what his car does with this cam.

 

Probably cause it's low duration keeps the torque high and also with a choked exhaust your torque tends to be higher as well.

 

a few yrs back a guy I know ran this cam and made about 330RWHP through a 2800 stalled auto with mid length headers & Bolt-ons. His best time at the track was 13.0 with 18'' z06 wheels & a Slammed suspension setup. I will see if he still has his old dyno graph.

Car definitely idled like stock, no lope and the drive ability was like stock as well.

 

I see tire yanking in the near future.

 

So this cam is mainly just for sleeper cars? I have a completely stock 95 Z (engine wise except for CAI) and was going to do headers w/ egr and air delete, duals, and a hotcam or better. Would this cam and just keeping my stock manifolds be the better way to go or just go all out?

 

Its more preference. If u wanna build a sleeper,try this cam,if u don't care,then spend the money and go bigger.

 

Ok Larry I'm here to help ya out bro I had the cad cam in my 95 Z (Thats mine Smoke was talking about), I had the SLPcai, 2800 stall (otherwise stock trans), heads were milled a bit when we had them off for a blown head gasket, 1.6 RR's, shorty headers, a magnaflow catback with a randomtech highflow cat and of course the cam. I made 325rwhp and 336rwtq. It was not setup for the drag strip but still ran a 13.1 @ 105, like was said on 18" street tires which got me crappy 60fts. The graph is from the before and after of the cam, all that was added from before and after is the cam and RR's. BTW this is also on a fairly worn out 100k mile motor, she hadnt been well taken care of before I got it. It idled dam near like stock, I wish I had vids. Most people that didnt know it was cammed would think it was nothing more than a stock LT1 with a cat back on it. Hope that all helps.

 

Jesus O_O lol Your start power cammed is almost as high as the stock TQ 25% HP gain, 22% TQ gain, and how much does the cam cost (just the cam, not installed or anything)?

 

Go all out.

 

Yeah I don't care about being a sleeper car but I don't want to make a crazy race car either. Just a fun street car

 

$299.99 + tax.

 

I've never really considered a cam, but this one seems pretty interesting.

 

Scott

thanks for the great feedback and dyno graph

if I recall correctly we took .020 off the heads and ran a Felpro 1074

 

Wow.. you picked up 80rwhp with that cam and RRs.. very impressive!

 

yeah its pretty crazy i knew a guy i raced last year who had one and i never knew he had the cam in there but I can bet his car ran like **** compared to this dyno graph....cuz i left him like a bad **** and he cried like hell sayin he has this cam and should have beat me blah blah blah....either way i guess with a damn good tune, good engine this can be a bad ****

 

The way im seeing it is its an improvement over stock and no one will see it/hear it.

 

haha Shdy, is that really your license plate?

This cam actually has me excited, even if I don't have the cash to upgrade, the fact that it's results are so good even w/o a tune is awesome. @ $300 it's (assuming 60hp gain to be fair) it's $5/hp!! It pretty much takes NOS to match that

 

Is there any reason this cam wouldn't be a good choice with stock heads and long tube headers? If I ever did a cam swap, I would want something that drives like a daily driver.

 

There would be much better choices for a car with LT's and a CAI. Tuning is the biggest factor when it comes to streetabilty with most cams. I DD my CC503 and it drive just like stock to me, but is pulls MUCH harder and sounds a hell of a lot better.

 

The real comparison that I would want to see is this Cadillac cam w/ stock manifolds vs the LPE 211/219 with stock manifolds.
