Default Texas Speed Torquer v3 cam...

Curious if anyone has used it in an ls3? It's very similar to the "spinmonster" cam except the intake lobe is an lsk instead of lsl and it's on a narrower 111 lsa instead of 114

That cam works well in LS3 motors. We actually dyno'd it on our in house engine dyno and made good power with it. However it is TIGHT on PTV. No way I would put that in a customer's car without flycutting the pistons. If you are looking for a good LS3 cam, check out our 231/236 cams. They will clear without flycutting, have a good sounding idle, and pick up about 80 HP at the crank!

Default Spin has his titles at least I think so.

The Spinmonster Cam which is good for LS2 & LS3 is close to these numbers. The one he has for the LS2 is a 114 + x. We wont have a 640
lift with this new Lobe. It was intended to be a improvement over the
230/234 which worked well in recent builds. That will be the one Im putting in as soon as my clutch issues are resolved.
