This! I love my spinmonster cam. Great power and near stock like drivability. Truly the best of both worlds.

 

Sounds sick!

 

"Sick" ?

Naw ... I think it sounds "Healthy"

 

lol yea LSA

 

according to Cam Motions their LLSR is not as harsh as the hydraulic rolller so why not althought the inital cost is what usually sways people away

 

Heard about them, but never really dug in and studied what they offer. I guess adjustable valve train is a must. How often must they be checked for valve clearance?

 

heard about from a guy over on LS1tech awhile back and then spoke with a rep from cam motions supposedly the valvetrain is less abused and lasts longer but yes the lifters rockers etc also has to be upgraded

 

Brandon do you need a converter with that? Also have an 06 ls2 looking to cam possibly and don’t want to change the converter. Thanks

 

You should consider all upgrades before you get a tune. The real money pit of these cars is that so many of the normal mods/upgrades take the exact same labor to do(or real close). So when you keep doing it piece by piece it costs you way more. The more you can do at once the more you save...cause once you start modding your car you won't quit.

A supercharger is a way better value upgrade than any cam.

 

C6 Z06 exhaust manifolds are actually shorty headers by design, so will be picking up about 15HP with them from a tune (will pick up another 15HP from the tune on the stock motor a well). Hence Bernoulli effect that allow more exhaust to be drown out of the heads by the shorty headers, and how you pick up the extra power.
Note, without tune, WOT will have the motor running on the lean side with the shorty headers.

As for cam, whole different ball game, and that is the way that the motor breaths instead. Some light cams just give the exhaust note some lob sound at idle, while radial cams can have the low rpms with so much surging, that the car is undrive-able in stop and go traffic instead.
Also,depending on how radical/how much lift the cam has, could be that you need to replace the lifters, rockers and even valve springs every 35K isntead.

Bluntly, unless you are in say CA and need to fly under the radar in regards to smog and changed parts, would be better off with Long tube headers with High flow cats, to pick up around 25hp isntead.

As for cam, yes, will pick up HP, but depending on what your going after, could remap the throttle to get you more instant power on demand, than how the TM and throttle mapping is holding that instant power back now. Hence have seen some C6's making huge numbers in regards to dyno's, but since TM is still in play to make that horsepower usable, the extra HP is really lost on say anything short a top end speed number where the ECM will allow all the power to be put down to the tarmac instead.

Simply, in stock form with a M6, could go into TM and throttle mapping on you your car, and change them so you could break the tires in any gear on street tires under 100mph. So would start with this, then decide is you want to throw extra power at the tires next, to just break them faster with less throttle push isntead.

 

I strongly urge you to contact a trusted shop that does a lot of custom cams. I personally do not think the majority of off the shelf (stage x,y,z) will be best for your application.

 

I'm leaning towards the exhaust and a tune. I contacted Diablew for a custom tune and I think that's the best way to go for what I'm looking for.

 

I went with a BTR stage 2 as well. I am satisfied. Drivability is great. My car is an 08 M6 with headers, highflow cats and Borla mufflers. I'd drive it anywhere.

 

You’re not talking about Diablo, are you? If so do yourself a favor and just don’t do that.

 

No, Diablewtune.

 

We could offer you a gpi cam kit
