Default small cam, BIG NUMBERS!

Finally put the last piece of the puzzle together and put a ported 92MM FAST intake/ ported LS2 TB, and 30lb. injectors on today.

Pre-fast it was a respectable 435rwhp/415rwtq

AFTER with my "small" 224/228 114 and all the goodies it put down 469RWHP/432RWHP!!! Gained an impressive 34/17!! All on a stupid hot/humid florida afternoon! Feels like a whole new car with better throttle response and pulls even harder!

Big props to Chris Harwood @ Xtreme Motorsports in Blountstown, FL!

Good numbers ! Silver Z's always make more power....

I have the same size cam as you do and am putting down 448/432. Your tempting me on the Fast 92 and the throttle body....

Can you "feel" the difference ?

What are the rest of your mods? Regardless, that's pretty impressive for a mild cam.

Absolutely. Did a couple 140 runs before my stones shriveled up and it got there in a quickness! Definitely a noticeable difference!

You're still leaving 30rwhp on the table by keeping that cam, but those AFR heads make all the difference.
