I got a 30rwhp gain NA. Their not big cams, they work with stock internals and are just drop in. I can tell you because I've installed them.

And it was tuned by a tuner who's been tuning for a very long time on V6 and V8 engines.

If people say something else they must be magicians because these are not big cams so to get big gains I highly doubt it

And yes with FBO cam cat delete with a good tune you'll definitely be faster than a stock L99 by alot

what heads did you use?

LLT heads that I ported the exhaust on myself with a Dremel. I widened the port a lot since I have American Racing Headers that are huge.

This is what the stock ports look like with the stock gasket, and the ARH headers are bigger than the gasket. A lot of gains were made since I can now use the exhaust pulses to start to get the intake air to move faster.

Or your tuner isn't that good, and judging from how your dyno graph looks, he isn't.

magnum what does your car make at the wheels?

Enough to break the input shaft on a 6L50, something that hasn't been done with any other setup. I'm in the process of rebuilding my 6L50 with carbon fiber clutches so I can allow it to slip the clutches more without burning up. Before that, I was doing 0-60 MPH in less than 5 seconds with a torque converter made for a supercharger setup. When I get my converter rebuilt it will be to a 6c spec, so it will stall near 4800 RPM, where peak torque happens.

I don't know man the company who made it their self says 20-30 rwhp gain.

V8 cams are huge their so big that you need new lifters, rockers, springs etc. And those only see a 50-70rwhp gain

So idk

The camaro show · 12-29-2018, 05:52 PM

But they probably have better cams to start with in the v8

Aussies went from 256 rwhp to 333 rwhp while increasing the powerband by 1500-2000 RPM (peak torque to peak horsepower RPM). With a direct injection engine you can't just change the VCT settings, you also have to change when the fuel injection starts to get the fuel atomized correctly. Have your tuner start the fuel injector 30 degrees later than stock and watch the result.

Where'd you learn that? Thanks I'll see how it works out. Isn't that car supercharged

Car isn't supercharged in that dyno. The HP Tuners forum in the LNF forums, there is a ton of information about direct injection there, they had to figure out by themselves and got good results.

That's crazy

Seems like it's tuned strictly for torque
