Default What are your LS2 cam only #s?

Just got my car back from Carolina Auto Masters with the following mods:

Car arrived w/ 1-3/4 Kooks, high flow cats, 3" X-pipe, Flowmasters, & Vararam & spacer. Baseline #s 377.4 rwhp/372.4 rwtq.

Car left w/ 228/232-114 custom ground cam, ported FAST intake, underdrive pulley, 160 stat, & tune making 451.5 rwhp/417.5 rwtq.

The dyno sheets are posted on "C.A.M lays it down!" in this section.

I am curious what others w/ cam only & bolt ons are making?

I understand that mod holds more potential, & can be done w/o upsetting driveability, although my driveability is pretty damn good. What are the specs for the G5X3? I locked my sights in on a FAST/cam set up a long time ago w/o researching the L92/L76 combo so w/ hindsight I may have gone that route. But in all honesty 450 driveable horsepower was my goal & I got it, so I am very pleased w/ the final outcome! Please keep me posted as your project unfolds as I am very interested in your results.

See my mods in my signature. Jeff Creach of Carolina Auto Masters also did all my mod work. I dynoed 446 RWHP and 404 RWTQ. Jeff is a great tuner. Congratulations!

Cam specs out at Lift (I) .600, (E) .610, mine is on a 112 centerline altho you can have the same cam on a 114. The duration numbers aren't published. Car is STRONG. I don't listen to the radio much anymore, I'd rather listen to the idle


I knew i was leaving power on the table, but I had planned on doing the L92/L76 changeover all along anyway-which should bump it to around 470-485 rwhp.

Stay tuned

Dyno sheet below, stock, bolt-ons and with cam only. Mods in sig. No FAST yet through 3.90 gears.

OP your results are great, I hope to be there with a FAST.

I am not bashing anyone, but I have noticed alot of Dyno numbers that have been "corrected for altitude".. So don't feel bad if your numbers are low. Mine only made a little over 400, and went almost as fast as cars on here making 40-50 more. So go by track times, not dyno numbers..

Track numbers are the final positive outcome. As long as there isn't anything unsual about the dyno numbers....like being way off, the higher numbers with similar cam doesn't mean anything.

FYI, my corrected #s were 467.8rwhp/432.5rwtq. The dyno sheets are posted back to back in thread "C.A.M lays it down!" Given it was a Dynojet 248-H, with very good weather conditions, & reasonable AFR slightly above 12 3K -5K rpm & then at or below 11.5 on out to 7K, I'm fairly confident the numbers are accurate w/o any tuning funny business. The tuner & Spin both predicted 436rwhp, but I think the combo of a custom ground cam, a meticulously ported FAST, & the tuner's skill to max out the combo hit the high marks.

Now that said, there's no better measure of a car than an E.T., but E.T.s are also a function of driver skill more so than any other factor. Given my Hp/tq numbers vs. seat time w/ this set up, I'm under no illusion my first several if not many attempts for an E.T. indicative of the car's potential will hard to come by.

Our numbers are really pretty close, I have a fast intake and not really sure what the difference between g5 and g6 cams are. Your only looking at 7 tq and 28 hp.
