Question about camming a 2015
Ok I have my order in for a 2015 z51 with a m7. I had a great engine build on my 2012 camaro SS m6 that I sold a few months later. I'm wanting to copy the build as close to possible when the time comes to crack into the motor. The Camaro was built with a supercharger in mind and this time I'll probably add the supercharger and meth first.
The camaros build was as follows
Jannety Race Engineering Rough Idle blower cam, Brian Tooly Racing push rods, Precision Racing Components 6.75 springs, comp cam trunion upgrade halltech CAI, K&N filter, Manley H/V oil pump, Kooks 1 7/8 headers w/o cats, ported TB.
The reason I'm wanting to copy it is because everything worked perfectly. It made good power and was very street able. Had a great lope to it but not drastic and the exhaust sound through the factory npp was outstanding.
So with that being said. What all is needed to properly do a cam in a 2015. I've searched and can't find much information on the subject.

The most important things are 1) to get a larger fuel pump lobe if you expect to make over 600whp 2) you will need to delete AFM and use ls7 lifters for the cam to be big enough to be effective 3) If you go too big on the cam, the VVT wont retard the cam properly at high rpm. Good luck.

Oh well it's a learning experience and you gotta pay to play the hp game.

Do not worry we have you covered on all of this! We have engine dyno tested & spec'd camshafts as well as cnc ported exchange LT1 heads for your install.
Not only that we also have the TSP long tubes for the C7 in stock! You don't have to pay $2000 for long tubes! The TSP system has the longest primaries on that market for huge torque gains & awesome power output.
Here's a dyno from one of the TSP camshafts on a LT1 engine.

This is true but I like to have the redundancy. It gets complicated if you run out of meth or the pump quits. Depends on if it is tuned to failsafe, what power level you are cutting from, if you have your IAT sensor relocated.

We do the cnc porting in house unlike just about every other shop on corvetteforum. As a result we are the manufacturer so the cost doesn't get marked up tons of times.
I'll double check but I think we are just over $2,000 for heads & cam with pushrods & spring kit!

do you guys offer custom grinds for cam. I'd like it speced to my Camaro cam. That was designed with to work well with boost.

Absolutely. That being said remember these engines are DI & have different specs completely. I'd really rather spec you something based off all the knowledge we gained from engine dyno development.
