I知 looking to see if anyone here has a btr stage 1 cam for an LS2 car. I知 looking to see what kind of gains you got, how it performes, and how you like it over all for a daily?
The setup I知 going to have after it痴 all done is an LS2 with the btr cam, worked 243 heads, all the bolt-ons, an fti 3800 triple disc, and a little nitrous to help (150 small shot and 225 for the big).
All BTR cams work good. One of the best in the industry.
He can't just jump to a stage 3 or huge cam because autos will need a converter/etc. Stage 1 will be a great upgrade. But since he has a converter, any stage from 1-3 would work fine.
My LS2 A6 car has a similar cam to Brian's stage 1.
With all supporting mods and stock 243's it made 420/420 through a Yank ss3600. The car ran very well but I had a set of TFS220's from a previous build unused. Once thee were installed the car made 460/460.
The cam is an old comp grind and has been in the car since 2008-2009. 223/231 113

Cool, nice gains! I was expecting to get about 440 ish. How does it idle with this cam? I知 not wanting a loud loping cam, I assume you値l be able to tell there痴 s small cam but I just want it to very mild.

The idle is fairly ratical, keep in mind it's an older cam profile with xer lobes.
I've contemplated replacing with the stage 2 as I'm fairly confident would be very similar to the current cam with same idle characteristics. My compression is now at 11.1 which could use a but more duration, thus moving my powerband up.
As stated above even the stage 3 is not much drastically different than my current cam. Couple years back I got a wild hair to build a WS6 T/A and used the stage 3 with TFS 205's and boy that car was beastly.
In the end decide what you want. I'm 40 now and as I get older even the mildest of camshafts deminish my want to daily drive. Give me smooth and comfort for that task.
Nice numbers for both of y’all. Looks like I can count on about 450. My setup is gonna have a little bump in compression, a meth kit, and swapping back down to 2.73 gears, so that should help get my numbers up a little through the auto. It should run pretty good when I get it done! I use to run 10.9/11.0s with about 400 rwhp, I’m hoping to get some 10.6/7s now.
