looking for more hp. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ttshovel · 03-13-2014, 04:27 PM

Ok so the car is out of bolt ons. I made 444rwhp and 425rwtq .

Mods include. .
lpe gt1 cam on stock valvetrain
Ud pulley
Tsp 2 inch headers
dynomax race bullet catback
cold air inductions cai with scoop and bottle relocate
All rear bushings
Toe rods
Trailing arms.
im finishing up the Yukon 4.11s tonight.
And hurst sts with track pack bushing.

Ok. Next is weld rts wheels and drag radials. Followed by some nitrous.

I need more n/a hp badly. The car feels like a dog. Im hoping. The gears will help some.

So what does everyone think of swapping to the g6x3 cam?

Gears are going to make it feel like a whole new animal. Have you run the car yet? If so, what are your times?

Indydriver · 03-13-2014, 04:36 PM

You don't mention a tune. Surely you tuned with that many mods? How about a VMax TB? That's an easy 10 rwhp

Swapping the cam seems like a waste. Have you considered ported or aftermarket heads along with a ported intake manifold? That will give you a good boost. Round it out nicely with a V-Max TB and you'll be crapping gold!!

I got the G6X3 cam but can finish the install till next month when I get back home. Then I will be able to compare it to the previous cam which was 227/231, 114. I never got that one on the track for a trap time but it was at 450 rwhp on Dynojet. I expect a little bump in power with the LG cam and a different tuner this time.

Heads and intake should light your setup up imo

Your numbers are a bit better than mine and my car feels like a beast. The gears will complete the job.

Throw a night fury in there.

That won't add any hp, all it does increase your throttle response.

Muscle Car Lover · 03-13-2014, 08:56 PM

Anyone run a gas line "cool can" here?

ttshovel · 03-13-2014, 09:01 PM

Yes the car was tuned at ips motorsports. Im thinking gears MIGHT hold me over until winterwhen I will probably re cam?

A few actual dyno clips says otherwise...

The ls tuner @ips told me not to waste my money on it. That its just a placebo effect! Ill take his work for it since he tuned the fastest ls powered cars on the planet!

And over full bolt ons the cam gained 30 rwhp from 4500 up over stock with no loss down low so for the $400 for the cam and an afternoons labor id say I didnt do too bad

Where did you see that? Id love to see that side by side dyno comparison. Youre lucky if you get 1 to 2hp at the crank. Worthless mod.

Since youre in process of doing the gears, see how you like the car. You're looking at about 15% torque manipulation there. That will feel like a ton. If you want more, step up the cam and throw some heads on.
