So just to be clear, there is no how to or write up for an install of a cam for the LT1?

Thats exactly how I feel. when shopping cams. no one wants to tell you what is what. which is how a real gear head wants to pick one.....

the people who buy them blind are buying them just because they like or want a Vengeance stage 3 or something. so they don't even care what the specs are really they wants a dyno number or a sound. and a name to put with it.

and copying specs... they are all in the same ranges... I mean I have 3 of the top venders 1-2-3 specs on a pad after lots of crap to get them... they are all so close its just a name picking.

Then there is the guys, its a CUSTOM cam... ok sure. what is the car? a stock bolt on car. (Like mine) so its a basically a shelf cam spec with a 1-2 degrees changes.... we talking 5hp at most swing either way ha.... and they have no clue the specs when asked either so they don't even know if its custom... not something that is in need or something custom.. in my thoughts go with something that works and is proven in your application.

There sure is. I've written a whole series of "How To" guides for the LT1 ranging from pulling the motor to piston install to cam job. Go to my profile and theres a pic on my main page that shows how to search and find them all.

Exactly. Its soo stoopid. Pretty soon they will start sending confidentiality agreements that you have to sign before they will sell you a cam

I noticed I was the very first post and said I had an aftermarket Cam and you did not put me on the list haha. I have a GT35 Blower Cam from Lingenfelter.

From the vendor side I'd say warranty is one factor. I think the other two reasons are a bit intertwined. The LT motors take more time, which means more labor and at that point how cost effective is it versus a pulley od and headers. I think shops don't push cams as much anymore because they are a pain in the a** with all the silicon sealant versus gaskets.

As to the list. Non-forum customer- Z06
Cam, F1-A, Alky, LG Headers, Corsa Exhaust 705whp 701w lb/ft
Have a customer bringing a ZL1 in after the 1st of the year for a cam (I know it's Corvette forum but it's still an LT motor.)

Cam and forged billet, cryogend bottom end.

hey G, your pic is sideways! I'm breaking my neck here! lol

What ever formula GM uses for the sealant, it's pretty good. Came off pretty easy. So i went ahead and bought that to re-seal it.

FYREANT: Did you let it cure a little before torquing down?

FYREANT

Sure did.. and it was torque to yield lol

Well its not tuned, and idling ruff down at 600ish... but its cammed! ha

License plate

sales @ WXM

That sounds great.

I debated that plate, my Boats have been names Obnoxious, and the Two Obnoxious, and now back to Obnoxious. and my truck has always had OBNOXIS but never had it on a car, and was out of ideas so got the 6 letter version for this one ha.

thanks guys hears hoping for 520+ and driving good but anything over 500 and driving good will be good..

It made 431/449 un-tuned with the intake and headers. Tuner said a few degrees of timing coul dhave been added fuel was close but still rich maybe 15hp... ore so if we had tuned it like it was... the cam should add 71-75 at the wheels. and then some from just tuning... so


That would make since when most with intake and headers and tune make 450
Just ballparking

Dynoed 431 +15 from tune + 71 min from cam = 517
Dynoed 431 + 15 form a tune + 75 = 521
450+71 = 521
450 + 75 = 525

SO guessing 515-525 all out.

FYREANT

Sounds like you got a "misfire" and a "hole in the exhaust" all right... LOL

Sounds awesome!

Ok, car is done for the moment. Other then a 160 thermostat they forgot to install.....

It put down 505rwhp / 474 rwtq when it was done. Not bad for a 93 daily driver NA car, it pulls good up top. Drives SUPER easy like no bucking at all which is surprising, could have went bigger....ha But makes for a nice driver for sure. can even hold 7th at 55mph with out bucking so that's impressive.

Made a quick walk around at lunch since it was clean, and warmed up.

I changed my cam 3 times

Curently running stage 3 BTR cam

So what was the question? Was it how MANY, or did you want to know how many HERE?

I'd probably guess it's really not many in the world. Probably less than 1000 out of all the Lt1 Lt4's produced.

Here? Guess less than 50? Most people here are REALLY adverse to losing the warranty... As the cars get older, I'd suspect it will go up.

I believe I have the exact cam kit as you sir, I ordered from Aaron at BTR for my 16 Z51. Those numbers are very impressive, not to mention the sound

Installing it next month once this weather breaks. Would you happen to know the crank HP and TQ?
