Default Cam going in...

Well, got everything I need for the CAM to go in, so tomorrow I am going to install my 228/232 .588/.595 112+4 COMP CAM with my 42 lbs injectors.

I will post up pictures and possibly videos.

I have done this install a few times, so hopefully this one goes as smoothly as the first few have.

Micah

Didn't you already have an aftermarket cam in there or is this one stock?

Don't forget to get a 12-pack of brew before you start.

Nope, the STOCK one is coming out and the new grind is going in.

I don't drink, but the guys will like your idea.

Got it... must have confused your avatar with another thread from the past.

I like that cam a lot, had one very similar but was a custom grind on a 113+4

Had a subtle chop, and the advance really helped the midrange. Great street cam.

Well, you could be thinking of my previous car. I had a 2000 COUPE and sold it.

I was wanting a decent street CAM that will provide decent power throughout the power band and this one should do just that.

Good luck with the swap! Hope everything goes smooth for ya.

You'll be very happy with the power under the peak. The power is there right from idle...no need to get the revs up to feel it. I've got the 228R which is pretty close to yours. I put down 417 with LTs, catless X, underdrive and ziptie. In my opinion its just the perfect street setup. Drives like stock but with lots more grunt when you stab it.

I honestly enjoy driving this car more than my 98 which I had built and procharged. With that car it would just roll out of the tires in the first 3 gears. With my Z06 its just enough power that you can get thrown back in your seat at will but easily keep it right on the edge of wheel spin.

That's going to be a great cam. I have the Texas Speed 228R and your cam looks just a little hotter than mine and it makes great power. Enjoy, can't wait for the videos.

why such the overkill with the 42lb injectors? I mean unless you plan on heads or bigger cubes down the road. Not trying to come of an a** or anything just curious.

Well, my stock injectors are maxed out 97% at WOT according to my HPTuners and a buddy of mine gave me a brand new set of racetronix flow matched 42lbs injectors, so they are going in.

Well, got get dressed and over to my buddies house to get the tune uploaded and get things swapped out. BTW, not a late start yet, it is 0630 here in Hawaii.

Have a great day folks,

Micah
