How much power should this make?

With LT headers and this camshaft most people make between 370 & 390 RWHP in M6 LS1 headed cars. LS6 heads you can probably add 20 RWHP to those numbers

FYI, camshaft information:
this is a custom ground camshaft by MTI for our motors (LS1/LS6). This camshaft has been around for a LONG time and is a prooven performer. The camshaft is very mild compaired to some of the camshafts out today, and valvetrain wear would not be as much of a concern in this camshaft as the newer ones. The camshaft is on 112LSA though for a lopey idle (I like a good lope). If you do not want a "lope" at idle tuning can raise the idle RPM and eliminate most of it, but it will still have a more aggressive tone at idle than the stock camshaft. You will most certainly know that the car is cammed if you install this cam. The 112LSA also dictates that peak power arrives lower in the RPM range and that the torque curve peaks very low in the RPM range.

For more info go to http://www.ls1tech.com and do a search for the "T1 Camshaft" you will see lots of good info on this cam.


In Short:

Duration (the first two numbers) dictates how long (in degrees of rotation) the intake and exhaust valves stay open (221/221)

Lift (the second two numbers) dictates how high the valve is lifted off of the seat (.559"/.559")

Lobe Separation (the last number) dictates idle characteristics (along with duration), and shape of the torque and power curve.

The specs on the stock 02+ LS6 camshaft is 204/218 .551/.547 116.

the stock '01+ LS6 camshaft is 204/211 .525/.525 116

In an M6 - NO tuning is requred, you may have some hot start issues if you do not drill the TB. Basically in an M6 it is plug and play if you drill out the TB a little.

In an A4 yes it would probably require tuning.

Dropped the price to 450 shipped firm. Great camshaft and a great deal. I will wait until the end of the week and if not sold will consider breaking up the package.

Thanks,
-Nick

Is this still availible? Might be interested. No pushrods is that right.

No one has stepped up and sent me a check yet.

And no I did not order hardened pushrods with the package. My Theory is that when you run hardened pushrods with a milder lift camshaft the only thing you are doing is increasing the chance of bending a valve on a missed shift. I dont think this camshaft is aggressive enough to cause the stock pushrods to flex significantly.
