Take a look at my profile. Mods are listed. Mine isn't a DD either but it could be if you wanted it to.

Here is an idle clip

I went with Englandgreen Whiplash Cam!! All I can say is WOW. It made 424 RWPH and 382 RWTQ at 7200' and it sounds wicked!!

Here is their link: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...t=englandgreen


They are in Verno Beach, Fl. Their HQ's are out of Houston, Texas

The good thing is that you will have a three bolt cam sprocket on your motor. The 07's have a single bolt sprocket. Had to buy a 06' sprocket for the three bolt holes on the new cam. 07's are the only year for this in the C6 platform.

I had planned on England Green but I hear they closed their shop and moved to California.

I have not had any work done by them, but I purchased their catch can/was very impressed with it and I have seen their tuner post on HPtuners and he is definitely on top of his game.

I know he merged with a fendor here, but I think he still has his shop in Florida. I could be wrong though.

Call him:

You can always do a DIY kit from him. I just finished one. So, if you have any questions just PM me. Had the car apart and back together in a weeks time. I went nice and slow too. While I had mine in the air in my garage I changed out fluids, sways, oil can, CAI, MGW Short shifter and complete exhaust too. It was a good time.

Good Luck

400 should be no problem. With the EnglandGreen Whiplash cam package I purchased, I made 424 RWHP and 382 RWTQ at 7200'

I think at sea level you might be a bit stronger.

I made 410rwhp SAE without a cam (meaning with the stock cam) so with a cam and supporting mods, shouldn't be a problem. My cam is going in within the next two weeks as well. I'm hoping for 440-450rwhp.

Here's my write up on my G5x3. If you go a big cam you should increase compression via thinner head gaskets to keep your low end torque comparable. You can see from dyno graphs in my thread that I did. You can also see a graph of my buddy's car who didn't increase compression and see the difference on low end torque.

The G5X3 cam is a tried and proven cam. Can't go wrong with that one either! Also, if you find yourself a good tuner they can take care of the TQ loss down low. Tuning is key!

I should mention that if I did a cam today I'd use the G6x3. It's designed for the 364 LS2 vs the 346 LS6 and is a further development on the line. It wasn't out when I did my cam.

California??????

We merged with Gulf Coast Performance in Houston, Texas, kept the "EnglandGreen" name brand and we are now based in Houston. We shut down the Florida shop.

We're very much alive and well!!!
