Default Cam Specs

Hey folks,

I recently purchased a C6 GS from a member here. Car has cam, long tubes, some head work, and tune. The shop that did the work didn’t give cam specs on the work order and I was wondering what’s in it. Car has a decent chop/rock at idle and pulls hard. Dyno says 485 RWHP and 415 TQ. Torque curve is extremely flat which I don’t recall seeing to this extent before. Shop is out of business, otherwise I’d give them a call. Anyone have a similar curve and care to share their cam specs? Thanks!

Can't say that I've ever seen a torque curve quite like that unless the engine had a TVS blower on top of it. Dyno differences also come into play when comparing curves. The only way to tell which cam you have is to pull it. Only way I'd pull it is if I didn't like it. If you like it, run it and enjoy it! Tell all your buds that it's a 4th gen mystery cam with secret specs....then just grin at them.

Yeah, I figured maybe the torque curve would be a clue to finding someone with a similar setup. I don't think I've ever seen another like it, which makes me question the dyno results as well.

I own a Dynojet and I've never seen a curve like that either. You need to bump up the limiter to 6900
